I am just getting back to running after a few months off and rehab. PT has allowed me to start running again but not much yet. I did mostly cycling and strength with yoga mixed in. I tried swimming but it aggravates my knee so had to give it up.

I prioritize by season. Running takes a front seat March-October. I run 3-4 days and lift lighter weights 2-3 times a week. October-March strength is priority 3-4 days with heavier weights and just a couple days of running.

Thanks! I will look at Body Beast too.

I am on week 6 of P90X3 and really like it:).

I really like the Nike Training Club app and it is free:).

You have plenty of time with your base. Take time off to heal. You don't want to have to drop out because you did not listen to your body. I would cross train for a week and try again. If it still hurts give it more time.

If you are open to non BB check out Nia Shanks. She has some great programs.

Have you looked at 21 Day FX. She actually has a nutrition plan with this one that is geared for this. P90X3 is a great one too and definitely not cardio oriented. Body Beast would be good to look at. I have not tried Hammer & chisel so can not say for sure but based on the trainers I think it is worth a look.

I love P90X3. Such an amazing program and I am definitely seeing results.

I am doing it with P90X3 to get extra cardio in:). I really enjoy it. I would suggest looking at Max 30 if you want intense but aren't sure you can do the Original Insanity. Max 30 had a modifier unlike Insanity making it more doable IMO.

I am doing P90X3 as well:).

Sleep and proper nutrition are key.

I have done a few. Most can be modified. What are you looking at?

I bought it and love it. I am a workout at home person and this allows me to try so many different programs plus additional workouts just on BOD. You can do a 30 day free trial. You just won't get the newest programs during this time. I did that and had them change it over to all access for $99 once I was sure I wanted to…

Nia Shanks. I have a couple of her programs and love them. She will also respond to any questions you email:).

I eat a straight 1500-1600 cals a day instead of figuring the calorie burn to eat back. If you do something similiar set up a new exercise and log it as 1 calorie. If you are logging to figure calorie to eat back then I would suggest circuit training.

Love it. I am doing while training for my marathon.

No exercise in the world can take away the extra skin that sits at my incision. Luckily it is covered by a bikini and no one ever sees it. Unfortunately media has set us up for unrealistic expectations for our bodies. If your bf% is good and you are toned the ledge may be there to stay and that is ok. Embrace your…

Thanks. My thought is 3-4 days off and then go for a short run to see how it goes.

I carry water and fruit snacks on all my long runs. I can not stomach gels. As a mom of two I always have fruit snacks on hand and they are way cheaper:).

I have found eating back calories does not work for me right now. My exercise will cause a 1000 calorie difference some days. Going from a 2900 cal day to 1400 wrecked havoc on my body. I adjusted my daily cal need to 2000 (using TDEE) and log my exercise as 1 calorie. It has been working well.

I run 4 times a week. Currently marathon training.

Work on distance and speed will come. Do not be afraid of walk/run intervals. People of all distance levels use them. Check out Jeff Galloway for more info:). I use them training for my marathon.

Did you get fit for a good pair of running shoes? If I get hip pain it is usually d shoes or I did not do the needed dynamic stretches before hand.

I agree there is no wrong food but eating clean gives better results faster than the same calories in pop and junk food (not insinuating this is how anyone eats). Clean eating and moderate exercise go a long way:).

I assume you mean eatting 99% of your calorie goal. Keep in mind MFP is an estimate and does not work at those numbers for everyone. I will tell you I can not lose if I eat less than 1600 per day and lose best between 1600-1800 per day which is MORE than MFP allots me. Without an open diary or info on what you eat it is…

It is all about calories in and out. I am 40 and can still lose:). If you eat at. 200 calorie deficit you will lose. Maybe on the scale maybe just inches or maybe both. Be careful with half marathon training. You are burning more calls that the average person. It is just as easy to eat too little and that dooms weight loss…

I agree Garmin products are great. I have a 230. It uploads all my runs to MMR. I find the Garmin more accurate but enjoy MMR for their challenges and like the status emails.

There is no side to pick. They are equally important for a well rounded regimen.

It does tally. You just need to go into your profile. You will also get weekly, monthly and yearly emails with your totals:).
