If your mobility exercises are making your mobility worse you are doing them wrong. It is very common you just need to find someone to show you how to do them. Also stretching is not a mobility exercise it is a flexibility exercise which is still important. Look up some dynamic stretches and dynamic warm-up routines.

It sounds like, from wanting to fit into tight spaces, you are actually interested in mobility not really body weight training. Push ups and exercises like that are not really going to help this unless you tailor them properly. Instead of doing incline push ups do deficit push ups. Your hands would be up on dumbbells or…

Soreness is in no way related to improvement. Many people think that soreness means your muscles are breaking down and rebuilding but that is not necessarily the case. Especially doing cardio. If you want to get sore, which you don't need to do, start weight lifting. Just keep working hard.

Anything lying, such as bench press. Or you can use a bench sort of like a crutch. Put the injured knee up on the bench so you can basically stand and do those exercises. You are very limited cardio wise. The only thing I could think of is an arm ergometer which is really boring and not all gyms have them. Anything else is…

You have to lean forward in some exercises based on physics. During a side lunge your butt has to go backwards which cause your upper body to lean forward for balance.

It is really hard to tell what you are talking about. It could be your heart rate... if that is the case 92 is high but there are a lot of factors that play into that.

Your shoulders, elbows and wrists should all be in a straight line perpendicular to the ground. It sounds like your just have weak or inflexible wrists. Just keep working on it the strength and flexibility will come. Don't do bad reps where you lose form.

There is definitely some resistance while swimming. It is not a replacement for strength training though. Strength training does a lot for your bone health (especially for women) and swimming just cannot give this benefit because gravity plays no role.

That is great to hear! It is hard to say how long weight restoration will take. It depends on your goals. And your metabolism is probably faster than you think. You were underweight so your body is just holding on to weight as much as possible right now. You are not consuming an abundance of calories so you do not have to…

It seems most people have an easier time losing weight then gaining muscle after. I would say meet your initial goal first. If that is to lose the last 10 pounds, stick to that. It is ultimately your decision though.

Try doing lunges or step ups instead. It is a common misconception that squats are the best exercise for the glutes. While they are great, they are more of a total leg movement, which is why you feel them in your quads.

The fat burning zone is not marketing. Although I can see why it would be perceived as such. There is plenty of research showing the fat burning zone. I do agree that it is used to keep clients motivated when they do not want to exert 100% effort. Your schedule of using HIIT some days and walking others is good because it…

Are you talking about circumference measurements? If so, it shouldn't be a problem taking them yourself.

Working out 2 hours a day is not sedentary. You are active.

Here is a circuit you can try. It looks like you don't have a lot of weight which is no problem but overtime you will find you want more. Body weight squats 15 Reps Bench press 12 Reps Dumbbell Rows 12 per side Small Step Up with Dumbbells 10 per leg Shoulder Press Dumbbell or Barbell 12 Reps Wide Grip Barbell Row 12 Reps…

It is hard to say as we do not know the trainers but be weary of cheap costs. Just as anything else you buy, you get what you pay for.

You're body will always retain water... You have lost 100 pounds I would not concern myself with 4 pounds. The water retention varies on your diet and many physiological reasons. You could have weighed yourself at a different time that day and those 4 pounds may not have shown up. I suggest not weighing yourself so often.…

It depends what kind of exercise you are doing. 40 minutes 7 days a week is more than most but it is not so much that you are hurting yourself.

How old is your daughter? A 5x5 program may not be in her best interest if she is younger.

One more thing most people don't take into account is that females (unfortunately) have higher BF% than males because of the ability to have children they need the extra fat. Very few women have the genetics to show their abs. Sure, competitors have abs showing but they also have many health issues associated. Don't be…

Great responses, your trainer should help you with this pain. But on the off chance he/she doesn't properly help you should determine whether this is soreness in the muscle or joint pain. Muscle soreness will go away after you are warm but pain will persist. My only hint that it could be something worth getting check is…
