I enjoy the workouts. I don't follow the program though. I incorporate them when I need a break from lifting heavy, or a full body workout. They have a pdf online for free you can find. I did but the app though. Try it for free! It's good.

I think it's important to just keep your heart rate up for the time being. If it's advanced usually they give you some alternatives, or create your own. Eventually you WILL be able to do it all!

Hey! I'm trying to mini bulk, so I'm at 1800. I'm 5'5'' and about 137 lbs, for perspective. I usually hit 1700 if I don't plan out my day, which is sometimes annoying. My macros are 135c/60f/180p. I usually eat my main carbs for breakfast, or in a high(er) carb protein bar before workouts so I don't starve lol. Carbs are…

It will be hard to not gain muscle because your body wants to become stronger! I recommend HIIT cardio routines. Google them, there's tons on stuff for running, or elliptical, of lightweight exercises to make you workup a sweat. If you're curling 10s, and don't increase your weight to 15's, generally you muscles won't…

The cellulite is excess fat pushing through a web of connective tissue. That's why when you push it see it even more. Basically to answer your question generally, you need to overall lose the fat on your body through a healthy routine of eating right, and exercising. Squats are always good! Mix in cardio like HIIT routines…

HI. I support you not needed a beach body coach lol. I've been in your position also ughhhh. I was a college athlete and I know a lot about training and eating the right foods. I'd love to answer questions to the best of my abilities. Message away!

I think it depends on how intensely you do your cardio. Usually people prefer it to after, because they get tired while lifting weights. Scientifically speaking you should do cardio AFTER lifting weights. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ask-the-ripped-dude-cardio-before-or-after-weights.html "To achieve "shreddedness,"…

Walking at an incline on a treadmill! It may be the same steps but you're heart rate will be up and burning more! :)

I have the same problem. it seems like my hips/thighs are the last to lose fat. For muscle in that area I suggest hip exercises like abductor/adductor. There are many resistance band exercise too like clam-shells, body weight squats, glute bridges, kickouts...
-
To keep the muscle you have to eat high amounts of protein! Cutting carbs is usually the way to go when you cut. Also look into BCAAs, I've found helpful for keeping muscle. and always HIIT cardio<3
-
THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE. Carbs and fats can get stored as fats (or used as energy, or as waste). Protein is the only thing that cant be stored at fat. Only going towards muscle or out as waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Like everything is said above... there is other stuff in chicken and protein drinks.. that can be stored…
-
ALSO THEY ARE DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS!!! Squats are mainly focused on your quads, little glutes and hammies. Deadlifts have a lot to do with the BACK (and glutes and hammies and a little quads). That's why so many people hurt their backs. Bad form when trying to lift something too heavy. All about the form, push through…

I am pro drinking as much water as you can. I aim for 140 oz a day. It fills you up, regulates your digestive system, keeps you hydrated and healthy! I'll always notice I feel better when I hit my water goal. I use the app "Waterlogged". You can keep track of ounces instead of the random "cups" on MFP

If you want to be more defined... you're going to have to star incorporating lifting. Start out with machines. maybe 2-3 times a week. You'll start burning those stubborn calories before you know it..
-
Just an idea... you may want to look into your macros more and adjust them accordingly. You're going to need to eat more, to fuel your workouts, to burn more fat! And a little supplemental help: BCAAs. They focus on keeping the muscle and using carbs to burn instead of your hard earned muscle.
-
It is whatever works for you!! But you may want some more information: I choose some carbs before my workout. I always make sure there is something in my stomach. You get your energy from carbs, and without them, your body will breakdown your hard earned muscles and use them for energy :(. And post workout protein is…

Have you girls tried HIIT cardio? You can google it and find routines on the treadmill, elliptical, stair mill, anything you want! It is higher intensity and more focused on burning fat instead of a long slow run or an hour long elliptical session.
-
Definitely check your BF. If you want to fine tune what you're eating try calculating macros and hitting them daily. It will help with getting the right nutrients to continue building muscle and not depositing the food into fat.

NO LISTEN TO ME. CARDIO CUTS. ITS MAGIC google it.

Done! I usually drink 8-16 oz as soon as I get up!

I don't regularly check this on the weekends...probably should. But I assume that has something to do with the lack of comments. And I'll check this one off on my way home from work!

Thanks so much @Fat4Fuel2 ! This gives me tons of ideas!

How convenient! I'm going to a trampoline park with a couple friends tonight!

I'm 5'5'' with my current weight at 135. I'm at around 20% BF and I'd like to be around 15-18%. For now, my goal weight would be just breaking 130

^^^ I second what @veronicabpire says! NTC kicks my *kitten* when I choose advanced and I consider myself in decent shape. Nike always knows what it's doing.
