Here's a great read. blog.nasm.org/newletter/understanding-and-preventing-plantar-fasciitis-through-corrective-exercise/ A plantar fasciitis workout: http://files.webexercises.com/Quick_Print_Plantar_Fasciitis_160313.pdf And some corrective exercises to help correct pronation:…

Those are great exercises already mentioned but don't forget you have 3 glute muscles that make up the behind. Any hip abduction exercises (like lateral tube walking) while keeping your leg internally rotated will work the glute medius and minimus...may as well hit all 3 muscles

Rybo...right on! Logging food should be just one of many tools in your toolbox at the beginning of a weight loss journey to see where you are but the problem is, people obsess over every single number. And here's a twist for you...for all the calorie counting you do, those numbers are often wrong and by as much as 25%.…

You can probably get as many answers as their are people in the world...and the great thing is, they could all be right. What's good for one person won't be good for another and pinggolfer gave a great answer in fruit. If you don't want to have solids in your tummy during your workout (and if you will be at the gym 45…

This is really a great list Julie...if I can add one thing to it, sometimes wearing compression garments helps. I'm really shocked your trainer would push you so hard that your are (to use your words) extremely sore. I'm curious did he do a movement assessment on you before he designed exercises like loaded squats or using…

Didn't say that anyone told her to eat chips and soda...I'm confused by what you are trying to say. I'm simply letting her know that all calories are not created equal in the CICO equation. Did I give her bad advice perhaps? You no like what I say?

At it's very core yes...that's the physics of it. But...to tell someone it's calories in/calories out and then send them on their way to fend for themselves is really doing a bit of a disservice and you would be ignoring all the physiological and psychological components of weight loss. Is there a reason you jump around…

Hey CincyNeid...It's not really "carb loading" (as you would call what a marathon runner might do to prepare for a race) After a workout or a game think of it more as carb replenishing. Your muscles have burned off their stores of glycogen post workout. What your body really needs is to replenish those stores...which is…

LOL...nothing at all wrong with pizza and it can actually be a great meal sans the bacon or pepperoni. The eyes may see pizza but but the chemistry lab inside your body only sees carbohydrates, amino acids and triglycerides. I personally have chocolate milk afterward because liquid absorbs a little quicker and I don't have…

So you're saying that the pizza has the perfect 3:1 Carb to protein post workout nutrition ratio? Cool! I normally have chocolate milk after a workout but glad to know pizza fits the bill too :smiley:

Don't feel like a couch potato...feel like a Rockstar because look at what you are doing to reach your goals! Be proud of everything you are doing...and keep asking questions. We are all here for you.

Ya...it's kinda really THAT important and something most people don't schedule into their week. And don't worry...you won't stop losing weight I promise ok? It sounds like you do a mix of things so that good...you want to keep mixing things up so that 1) you don't get bored or burned out and 2) helps prevent overuse…

Hey Christie....good news if you don't like situps...you can go ahead and dump them! (you're welcome) Situps aren't really the best for working the stomach anyway and they really do a better job at working your hip flexors, which you probably don't want. The "stomach" can pack in a lot of different muscles depending on…

Here's a great article that should clear things up for you http://blog.nasm.org/fitness/probiotics-can-help-workouts-weight-loss/?utm_source=nasm&utm_medium=emails&utm_content=061716&utm_campaign=n_leads_junenews

Hey...why not get the whole core/ab thing happening at the same time and involve the whole midsection. The muscles in that area of the body are meant to *Stabilize the spine *Flex the spine *rotate the spine *extend the hips. That being said, planks (stabilizing), crunches (flexing the spine), oblique crunches or axe and…

I still stand by my answer based on a couple things. The loading schedule i proposed is good for any endurance athlete for a 90 minute or over event. Also, the OP says that he starts to bonk the last mile and he is already carb loading so what he is doing isn't enough....and, everyone is different but the average time for…

6 days out...your training should be 70-75% intensity for 90 minutes and carb load 4 grams/kg body weight 4-5 days out...same training intensity but for 40 minutes....same carb loading at 4g/kg 2-3 days outs...same training intensity but for 20 minutes....carb load goes to 10g/kg 1 day out...rest and carb load at 10g/kg

Nothing to be sorry about...this is a common way to demonstrate this exercise but what we find is that there are less stressful ways on the neck perform it. On the plus side when he puts his arms above his head...this is a great progression to work up to

Ninerbuff...sadly I think it's too bad that people get their health and fitness info from Dr. Google. There is a lot of good info out there but there is also a bunch of crap. If you are new to weight loss or fitness, trust me you will not know the difference between the good and the bad.

Good explanation but please I beg you...don't put your hands behind your head like that. Hands can be at the side of the head with fingertips touching the ears but no hands grabbing the head like that.

That's the thing with science Devastator...there is rarely agreement on just about anything. The good thing though is it opens things up for healthy debate. I get my knowledge from the NASM nutrition course (which I've taken) and from Precision Nutrition (which I haven't taken yet but those guys are awesome) By the way I…

Hey Devastator...several vitamins can be stored in the body for quite some time. Folate (a B vitamin) can be stored for up to 4 months. Your body makes its own vitamin D from sun exposure and the amount of sun your get in the summer can store enough vitamin D to last through the winter. People kind of interfere with this…

Mostly plyometrics for me

A healthy person eating a variety of foods...probably not. Unless you have a deficiency then there is no need at all. Some vitamins can actually be stored in the body for a couple years! How's that for a backup supply? Sometimes though your need for vitamins increases such as aging, being pregnant or breast feeding or…

Generally it is an overuse injury caused by excessive running or training and/or muscle imbalances of the hip, knee or foot. Do your feet pronate or if you were to do a squat would you notice your knees cave in slightly? There are a few things you can do that might help. Foam roll and then stretch your calf muscles,…

Ya that's it. You would have to weigh yourself before and after your workout (and nobody really does that because we don't carry scales around with us...but play along here) and if you lost 1 pound for example, you would drink 2-3 cups of water. That is a good post workout hydration schedule. I just workout at home and…

...but i would be neglect in my duties if I didn't mention that hydration is king after a workout and you want to drink 2-3 cups of water for every pound of body weight you lose during a workout.

Besides chocolate milk, some other ideas are orange juice and a yogurt; whole-grain bread and peanut butter or bread and a hard-boiled egg or even have your well-balanced dinner within 2 hours of your workout

Chocolate Milk
