LOVE spinning! However, I did it for about a year and it killed my knee. I finally went to a class with a new instructor and she came over and told me I had my bike setup wrong (no other instructor had ever really showed me how to set it up). There was an instant change and it also made spinning seem easier when I had my…

Definitely check out the gym itself. I highly recommend Lifetime Fitness because the one in AZ is EXCELLENT. Then I checked out another one in Kansas and it just wasn't all that. So definitely shop around and find which gym will be a good fit for you =]

Glad you found MFP! It is an excellent tool for support and keeping track of what you're eating, etc. I highly suggest looking at "The Eat Clean Diet Recharged!" book by Tosca Reno. It is an excellent guide to the healthiest way of eating (in my opinion) and it isn't really a diet, it's a lifestyle change. It isn't…

Don't listen to a word that news channel said. In my personal training studies, we learned that 96 oz of water a day is what is recommended for everyone and then for every 25 lbs a person is overweight they need an additional 8 oz. If you are working out it should be very easy to attain the 96 oz goal. Also, water helps…

As long as you have a good HRM I would go off of that. The machines are highly inaccurate as they have no idea as to how much muscle you have on you (1 lb of muscle can burn an extra 30-100 cal a day depending on the person), or any of the other contributing factors to calorie burning. As long as you have one that is…

Definitely watch your sodium intake and drink MORE water! It is actually recommended you drink at least 96 oz a day, the 8 glasses per day is a bit out of date. Good luck!

My suggestion as far as eating healthy: Go through your cupboards, fridge, & freezer and pull out anything that isn't going to help you reach your goals and get rid of it. If it isn't open drop it at a food bank or something, otherwise toss it. Then head to the store and stock up on only foods that will help you reach your…

I'm working on my BS in Psychology, I want to do health science/nutrition too once I'm done. I think I'm going to be a full time student the rest of my life. There's so much I want to do, I'm okay with that though =]

There's a really great garlic-basil shrimp pasta recipe in "So Easy" by Ellie Krieger. Her cookbook is amazing & healthy because she's got her masters in nutrition. Totally check it out there's some great stuff in there!

You can definitely do both at the same time, they can be tough workouts but you can also modify them to suit you. If you want to see a change in your body you really need to push yourself. Obviously don't push yourself too far, if you are in actual physical pain then stop but if it's strictly muscle fatigue you will be…

Awesome thank you!

Jillian Michaels are good, just make sure you are using proper form on the squats and lunges or you will hurt your knees (she does a lot of these!). I also like the new Jane Fonda series and the Tone It Up dvd, check out amazon for those =]

You just have to make yourself do it. Everyone has their off days, for me today is one of those. It's storming outside and I have the day off and just want to sit on my bum BUT I know I need to get my workout it and I always feel great after I do. Generally once you start your workout, your motivation will kick in and…

There really isn't a perfect time to take your measurements as your body weight will fluctuate during the day depending on diet & exercise. The key to taking accurate measurements is consistency, make sure you take your measurements at the same time each day you do them. So if today you weigh yourself at 9 am then the next…

Water is SUPER important! I cannot stress that enough. It is recommended you drink 96 oz a day plus an additional 8 oz for every 25 lbs you are above your ideal body weight. Your body is made up of 60% water and just a 2% loss of fluid can adversely affect circulatory function and performance. Water benefits: - Improves…

Lidunne: I uploaded it as 'rich text format' on our site. Let me know if that works for you, if not I can try emailing you the document (it's in word).
