Lunges are primarily a glut workout, and secondary a quad workout. I often do my squat workout, 3 sets of ten lunges HEAVY, and finish up with a few machines. The lunges will destroy your gluts. Want a nice rear end? Lunges, nice legs? Squats, want a sexy back, good traps and a little of gluts, quads, and hamstrings?…

Im doing crossfit so im with you there, id add this to what you said though, high intensity workout are great for you for limited times. After about an hour to an hour and a half your body is going to secrete a lot of cortisol (stressor hormones), and this limits fat loss. I still like to add some cardio burn about once a…

Nice job! Pullups are typically harder for girls so 8 is great!

You are awesome! Whats a snag? I shall continue: You wake up late for the gym.and you dont wanna go!! You think to yourself please, but you just got to row. You miss zumba class where you could've learned to twerk. Now you have to eat the wifes brownies or she'll think you're a jerk! You gotta fight for your right to not…

The mirrors are partly for checking yourself out :) and also to check on your form as you are doing things. Make sure you have catch bars for that squat. I would consider a jump rope for major cardio burn and a kettle bell if you dont have one.

If you have never worked out much, or are just beginning again after a long period of time being sore yes REALLY sore is likely normal, Barring you.have no medical conditions. This also depends on the intensity you are doing. Id suggest sticking with 10 to 15 min and working out different body parts. Dont work the muscle…

Aww thats avserious problem. Have you talked to.him about it?

4 of thoseband no more! I had a vasectomy and checked my weight afterwords and didnt lose a thing :(

That is truly terrible!! All jokes aside she is killing him!

Lol and now hes an exhusband.....

As Jimmy Johns says: smells are free!

Your husband sounds like a funny guy, but id feel really bad if I were him and you cried. What is flagellation illimunati style?

You should eat some back as fueling your workouts is important. Just make sure you are burning "net" calories and not just the calorie count from the machine. For example: most calorie counts off of a machine will give total calories (exercise + calories you would burn watching t.v. during that same time period). MFP asks…

Your body will tell you. If you are sore in that area you probably do not need to work it. Your muscles need rest to recover properly. The more in shape you get the less recovery time youll need. Im currently dont ng about every 5 days or so. At minimum once every 7~10 days.

Dont give up!! You can finish it. Im assuming you are staying in your calorie goals. Remember your weight is determined by a whole host of factors and can vary day by day by 2~3 lbs. You mentioned walking, is this a new activity? You may be increasing your muscle mass which is never a bad thing. I weigh myself weekly and…

This is hilarious especially from a woman! Its good to have goals though, its a great idea to have a picture up that you can see everyday.

Are you kidding? There is never a good reason to suspend conjugal visits! If she puts the brownies on her stomach and says eat and have fun my diet is doomed!

Nice guy. Mine pops a bag of popcorn and waves it in front of my nose as she's walking by.

Crom!! Why did you mention Conan? Now I feel bad because this was my rest day. They probably only grumble because you're making them feel guilty :)

Wow a cheesecake brownie sounds like heaven!

Yeah now I'm just hungry. Haha, I skipped the cheesecake and just had some fresh pineapple. You are an evil woman.

Good advice, the whiny voice was fun though! This was funny to me. Wife: I looked up the cheese cake it's 350 calories. But a slice of pumpkin pie is only 150. Me: ooooo you made pumpkin pie to!!?? Her: no.

Planning ahead is great advice, thanks!!

It takes a stronger man than I to resist brownies straight out of the oven. I took your advice last night, I had 1/2 of one.

Good advice!

You must work with my wife. I got into trouble one day for not eating barbque pork ribs out of a crockpot. Her reply "just go run 5 miles and burn it off." Love me some ribs...unless I have to run 5 miles for them.

I think she likes me fatter. She told me last night, I'm out if I lose my rear end. She was probably joking. Ha ha I'm the girl of the relationship, now you'll have to excuse me I have to go and do some squats and lunges at the gym...

I like your shoulders!! Definitely seeing definition there. This may sound weird for motivation: I did a grueling first day back workout one day. Took me 84 minutes. I told another girl at the gym, her response "wow I wouldn't even admit that if I were you" that stung a little at first but it also made me repeat it last…

This was great! Brownie required a run :/ a piece of cheese cake is probably 3 miles.

I'm jealous! Sledge hammer, tire flips, jumping on and off the tire, jump over tire to the middle then jump to the other side, Incline pushups, decline pushups, deadlift the tire over and over (maintain good form), I'd try max tire flips 2? Then try adding one every workout. You can have a lot of fun.
