It's not that I like the ellipticals but why so much hate: non-functional, useless, etc,. If you don't like it, use something else for cardio. When I see people using it, I just mind my own business. I guess ranting about how useless it is works too if one does not like it. I hate treadmills but never went all out my way…

I like the second picture better :smile:

Did you mention to your doctor about your new weightlifting program? Did you tell him/her how you feel tired and fatigued afterwards? What type of foods are you eating to fuel your workouts. Is it a high quality meal or low quality? Anyway, you should update your doctor about how you feel after weight training maybe he/she…

I never knew there is a stigma around ellipticals. I use them for the purpose of warming up my body. The reason is it engages my lats, legs, arms, obliques, etc,. Basically, my entire body for my next heavy lifting session. You shouldn't rely on the calorie burn you see on it. It doesn't matter if it's an elliptical,…

Here are my EGGS!!!

Grilled chuck roast and white rice!!!

It doesn't matter if you run in the morning or at night. You'll still burn calories.

I have bacne but it's only where my sport bra is.... I shower immediately after my workout. I like to use the cetaphil anti bacterial soap and make sure I have an exfoliating scrub with me. It's working so far for my bacne and occasional face pimples.

Yeah, the same here + <3

I love my Bose Soundsport wireless. They just released it a few months ago. I have used Jaybirds, and Beats in ear headphones, and beats on ear Solo headphones. The thing is Jaybird gets uncomfortable over time. The beats in ear and on ear never lasted more than 2-3 months. It always broke but they do sound nice. I find…

I don't know what Wondercore is and searched for its video advertisement. I think this device is not worth it. When they are doing crunches they got something on their back to help them back up. They showed other exercise in it as well but it just doesn't seem it's all worth it. Save your money honey.

Like what everyone else said, you cannot reduce fat in certain area. Your body will decide what area of fat it wants to get rid off first. Usually, belly fat is the last one to go. Try not to fall in any weightloss fad and keep a balanced diet that you can maintain for years. When you have a good diet in place, find a…

When I drop my bodyfat to show my abs. I lose my boobs and and my butt. I guess I can't have all three of them at the same time. Unless, I decided to go under the knife :cry:

I never heard of it but why not choose to walk around? Walking may burn more than using the whole body vibe.

+1 When I see people that are starting out, I have the same respect for them. I am glad that they are taking steps of improving themselves, and appreciate that they can be in the weight section (very intimidating place for a new person). I know because I've been there. You just have to keep telling yourself that everyone…

I only run 3 times a month sometimes only once :#

Save your money because they do not work. First, you only lose water weight. If you drink water, it will come back. Second, the waist trainer will disengage your abdominal muscles from working. Last but not least, you will feel overheated. The money and the pain associated with a cinched waist is not worth it. Do not fall…

Overhead press is my worst lift and next is Squat :'(. I seem to do well with bench presses and deadlifts.

Abs is built in the gym and revealed in the kitchen. It will take a lot of consistency and rigorous dieting to lose belly fat. Back to your question, your stomach will get big due to the ab muscles growing. Unless, you lose the fat covering it.

Everyone else is different but for me it took me 6 months to get into the lifestyle of working out frequently. Now, I can't stop working out. When I first start out, my husband kept on begging me on working out. He was some sort of bribing me to do it. It took half a year before I just do it on my own :P

I would listen to him and usually you'll end up hurting yourself physically (which will stop you from doing certain exercises). Beforehand, I am highly hesitant on taking rest days from my lifting days (crazy I know). My nerves weren't properly firing and have to stop for two weeks of any lifting workouts. Well... I got…

Woah! Great transformation

My newbie gains are over. As a natural female bodybuilder, I go through bulk to build mass and cut to show what improvements I've made. I also recommend to do a slow bulk. I hate gaining bodyfat too and messes me psychologically. However, I suck it up and do a slow bulk. If you hate the idea of bulk because it has to be…

I don't log non-typical workouts. The activity level already includes those things so no. I only log if I intentionally did cardio (if I ever did one lol). I'm not trying to be mean or intentionally hurt anyone or whoever reads this. I could be wrong and it is just an assumption (maybe some people just want to be very…

I really HATE cardio. Hate hate HATE them lol I do them sometimes for cardiovascular health (maybe 3 times a month or less). I enjoy lifting way better and playing with my macros :smile:

+1 <3

Well, you might not be scared or intimidated going into the free weights section but a lot of us women are. I am included in it. I was terrified because in my head. People will judge my wrong form and think "I don't know what the hell i'm doing. Anyway, it took me a lot of self talk and researching about programs. How to…

It's a lot of calories for bowling. Unless, you decided to keep on going back and forth nonstop for 2 hours, and use the heaviest bowling ball. You'll burn a significant amount of cals. However, I don't think it will even come close to 900 calories.

I don't like working out at home either. When I go into a gym, I am highly motivated. I workout better mentally because I can see people who pushes themselves. They inspire me and a great motivation overall. When I workout alone, I feel a bit down. No motivation whatsoever and not a lot of equipment to support my workout :/

Are you using a scale? They are highly inaccurate. You can get a Hydrostatic weighing and if not available get a Bodpod. Anyway some gyms offer free bodyfat testing but they use calipers. Hydrostatic is the most accurate one. About your cardio, they are good for cardiovascular endurance. If you want to lose bodyfat,…
