    I've never seen anyone get thrown in mfp jail for it so...yeah? :)

    Plus the tips will always be relevant.

    Wow! You’re reading my mind! Great info! Stomach vacuums and now progression issues!

    Ugh. What do you do if you realize - perish the thought - you don’t like structured strength training? Exercise - yes. Structured training - no.

    I could be very happy doing a different exercise from YouTube every day (boxing, trx, kettlebell, dancing, etc) and within those workouts are varied moves. However, i shrivel at the thought of doing a 2-3 day a week structured program where there are 6-7 moves, x sets, x reps, I do progress, etc. but I don’t last long with these programs.

    My goals are simple - maybe lose a max of 5-6 pounds, get rid of a small lower belly pouch, and if I can reveal some biceps or triceps or quads - that’s fine - but I don’t really care if I bench press x pounds. But should I?
    If weight/fat loss is all you're really looking for (less fat means more definition), then what you choose for exercise doesn't matter much as long as keeps your muscles active. I have several clients that only box with me for workouts and they look fabulous. No weight lifting, no cardio classes, etc.
