Idk. I'm always pulling up my high waisted wundr unders from lulu. Don't get me wrong, I love them, and I wear them everywhere, just not the gym. (And there's no way I could size down) For working out I love my Nike pro shorts, but I heard somewhere that they're stopping making the Nike pros. :o That would be my…

I have a one year old that has had ear infections and colds all winter long so I've had to miss a few times. I totally get the guilt. But you just have to get over it and keep going. Like so many things in life: feel it, deal with it, and let it go. I just concentrate on being as active as possible (i.e. Don't sit around…

Bret Contreras

Curtsy lunges w/ barbell Cable kickbacks Sumo deads I also recommend Bret contreras. He has a wealth of knowledge in exercise science and his concentration is in glute work. Many interesting reads on his web site.

I want some lululemon leggings from Santa bc apparently they are the best in the whole wide world but I'm not paying $90 for one pair of workout pants. I also would like a set of bands. And idk, my gym membership paid for a year would be nice. Some fitness goals: I really want to increase strength, I really want to be able…

I wanted to do hip thrusts but felt weird about doing them at the gym. Then I found this huge floppy mat to fold in half around the bar so it's pointing down my legs. It's purpose is two-fold: it cushions the bar but also drapes me almost like a blanket so that I don't feel so conspicuous while doing them. I found a place…

Leg day!!! W/u on stairs, squats (hit a new pr: 135 pounds :) ), SL deadlifts, curtsy lunges w/ barbell, step ups, hamstring curls with ball, leg extensions, bosu ball squats, walking lunges.....

dips and chin ups/pull ups. I can only do a handful of dips and I can't do any chin ups or pull ups. For those ill use a band or have someone assist by holding my feet. And I'll focus on slowing down the negative. All of this just takes so much out of me. My energy level is through the roof normally but once I start doing…

I just did my first mile and a half without stopping yesterday! So awesome to set personal records!

Sometimes I get bored while walking too so I will schedule a phone call with family or a friend (since I moved out of state, I have a long list of people to choose from that I don't see regularly). Time flies by when you're having a good conversation! And I use my headphones so I keep my hands free.

I have this thing that Velcro straps around my upper arm and I slide my phone down in it. Very snug. And there's a hole for your headphones. Got it at Walmart I believe for less than 20$.

I did... Box squats w/ barbell Step ups with db's Straight leg deadlifts with db's Curtsy lunges w/ barbell Physio ball hamstring curls (?? Not sure what to call these but they're great) Bosu ball squats with kettlebell Lunges with db's Leg extensions

Legsssssssss :)

I've been eating approximately 150g of protein (sometimes I've inadvertently eaten more than that) every day for months and months and months. I've lost almost 30 pounds. However I do work out a lot and weight train. My reasoning behind eating so much protein is to maintain my lean muscle mass. But I don't believe that…

You could do sissy squats balancing yourself by lightly touching a doorknob or something. If you do those to failure your quads will buuuuuuurn.

I would eat in a deficit and keep going until I have a low enough bf% to see my abs.

How tall are you? Do you weigh all solids in grams and only liquids with measuring cups?

Size 6!!!! I've never been a size six in my adult life, never thought I could be!!!!

Just lose the weight. You can't spot reduce. There's a really helpful sticky called "so you want a nice stomach" I believe. It's full of really helpful information. Start there. And be patient! Abs are "made in the kitchen" they say.

Squats, barbell squats, and more squats Deadlifts Bosu ball squats holding a kettlebell Lunges holding Dumbbells Step ups with Dumbbells Weighted Calf raises The stair machine The possibilities are endless :)

My sleep has been interfered with also, and I am alway done with my workout by 2pm. I used to sleep so much better....

I ordered a half sandwich to go from panera but they made a whole one. I said no to eating the whole thing and am saving it for tomorrow. Sigh....

Sweet tea here too. There's just not room for all those calories in my day. In the past 9 months I've probably had it once or twice.

Most gym classes cater to a variety of levels, in fact, the beginner is probably more catered to than most everyone else, in my opinion. I guess the question is, what classes does your gym offer?

I live in SW Louisiana and its been so ridiculously hot here that all exercise has been indoors all summer except for early evening walks. So winter is probably when I'll be able to move it outdoors! I'll probably just keep going to the gym and our trips to the park and walks outside will be able to be done at different…

Way to go dude!

I like strong curves. I got the book off amazon much cheaper than I could've in the store.

Childcare. And it's actually really great childcare. Like I've had this girl babysit my lo at my house. So that was huge for me. Having good dependable people take good care of my child so that I don't have to worry about her. Also I love the classes and I generally don't have to wait for a squat rack (there are only 2).

Idk I'd make sure you're doing then correctly. Watch Bret contreras video on you tube. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrHdatPj9g. (Idk if I know how to link. If it doesn't work look up "everything you need to know about the hip thrust" on YouTube. When I do them I wear a hoodie to cushion my hips and I put a towel between…

Oh oops. Yeah 5 - 10 pounds. Lol
