https://greatist.com/move/plank-variations-for-core-strength. I was wrong, it’s 47 plank variations!! 🥰🥰🥰

Yes you could definitely do them at the park or gym! (I'm jealous you live some place you'd want to be outside in January! lol) I like Natalie Jill Fit, but really I just do pretty standard things for the strength training. Weighted squats and lunges for lower body, bicep curls, tricep dips, pushups, overhead presses, etc.…

Hi Eric! I teach a HiiT cardio/strength training class and I use an app called Interval Timer. You can create your sets any way you like! I do a 1 minute jogging warmup, then 12 thirty second blocks of moderate to heavy cardio drills (6 minutes). Then the bulk of the class is divided up by muscle groups: Legs, Upper body,…

Thanks for posting this! I try to keep up my lifting days too (just because I know it's important for me to not lose muscle mass) but I agree... it is disappointing to work so hard for an hour and not see a big calorie burn on the fitness tracker. (Apple Watch in my case.)

EXACTLY! I would never pay for premium for an app that doesn't work on it's basic level. Frustrating.

I think I hated running because i thought I was bad at it, but now that I'm getting better, I'm kind of enjoying it! And i do tons of other kinds of workouts... I'm a fitness instructor who teaches WERQ (hip hop dance,) HiiT, and I am training for Les Mills Body Combat. I also do Body Pump and Yoga. So I know there are…

Haven’t had a period in 14 years. 😅 So... quite late I guess??

Thank you Lynney!! I get hyper-focused. I want to be 106. Not 105 and not 107. 😂😜🤓

Lol I don’t know why I didn’t think about that... I get so wrapped up in numbers... I knew that but I kinda didn’t think of it. Duhhh and thank you. Lol

Thank you, I will look at those threads. I use my Apple Watch to tell me what I burned after each workout. I don’t know how accurate it is... it definitely tells me I burned less than my Garmin VivoFit used to report. I’d rather err on the side of under-reporting exercise and over-reporting food.

I only track water because I want it within a certain range. If I’m dehydrated it massively affects my performance in the classes I teach.

At first I was losing a pound per day! Then it evened out to maybe a pound or 2 per week.

That’s true. No I’m sure I didn’t consume anywhere near that much. I do have a scale that supposedly measures water, fat and muscle (sensors I stand on) ... I don’t know how accurate it is but I try to weigh first thing every day and pay attention to water and muscle.

I did put on a pound over the weekend... I think I’m probably obsessing when I shouldn’t be. But my eating got really out of control this past summer so I just wanna keep a lid on things! Thank you, I will change my settings to maintenance.

47, feel free to add! I'm in much better shape now than I was 20 years ago... lol

I need more friends who actually post and comment pleeeease!

Take a nap with my cat 😂

Milwaukee!! Woot!!

Yes please!!! I need all the tough love encouragement I can get!

I love Les Mills Body Pump! Actually every Les Mills workout. They are safe, backed by tons of expert research, and very effective.

Norwex Odor Eliminator. Best stuff there is!!

Love it! I’m mainly looking for songs to play during HiiT or on the treadmill.

Awesome thank you!!! Mine are quite eclectic as well. I love hip hop, classic rock, alternative... pretty much everything except country and most top 40 mainstream garbage. 😜

This is really encouraging for me!! I’ve been so frustrated that other people say they burned 600 calories in a class that I have also done... and I only burn 400?? I wondered how that could be possible when I’m going all out and keeping my hr 160-180... and as far as I can tell working just as hard if not harder. The…

Pelvic Floor exercise

1.) watch sugar. You can be under your calories, but sugar (especially alcohol) will collect fat around the midsection. 2.) Two words: pelvic floor!!! Look up some pelvic floor exercises. I had to do them for physical therapy because I fractured my L5 vertebrae, and they are totally the unsung heroes of core strength and…

LOVE Les Mills Body Pump. Kicks my *kitten* every. Single. Day.

LOVE this!!! I have so much more respect for adults overcoming age/injury barriers than a 20 year old who’s been naturally skinny their whole life. I’ve done personal training and I’d rather train a 50 year old than a 20 year old, just saying. The 20-something’s I worked with always took the modifications, short-cuts, and…

Add me! I need some estrogen in my friends list.
