  • I agree with all of the other replies, in that, you will want to get some direction from a trainer, especially if you've never done strength training before. That being said, I have been an inconsistent gym member before simply based on the goals that I wanted. If you go into it wanting to simply lose 40 lbs, you may not…

  • I've gone through several of the Zumba Fitness games for the Wii, including Zumba Fitness 2. I combined Zumba with a bunch of different workouts, but this, by far, is my favorite. Over the course of 2 years, I've lost 65 pounds and I would say that Zumba definitely helped me achieve that goal. I love that you can track…

  • I think it's wise to take time to get well. Not only are you risking your own health, but you could also be spreading sickness at the gym. So, if you feel like you should work out, keep it at home. I hope you feel better! I'm just getting over being sick too. No fun.

  • Take graham crackers (chocolate are my favorite), break one piece in half. Fill it with light cool whip and then top it like an ice cream sandwich. Freeze for one hour and you have a delicious treat. For extra protein and antioxidants, mix in some banana and peanut butter, or strawberries.

  • I think it's best to start out with 10-15 minutes of cardio. Just enough to get your muscles warmed up and then do a weight lifting/calisthenics routine based on body type. (Day 1:Arms/Shoulders/Back, Day 2:Abs/Chest, Day 3:Lower Body, etc.) You do what feels right for you. If you're looking for help, try Fitocracy. It's…

  • I work at a desk at the entrance of our business, so I can't do squats and dips, without making people look at me funny. That being said, I've gotten into the routine of fidgeting as much as possible, tightening certain muscle groups over and over, and getting up to stretch and take bathroom breaks. Make sure to stay…
