Have you tried Moving Comfort or Enell? Both have a great reviews, and I know a few women who use them and love them as well.

I browsed this aisle in my local Publix just the day and did not see any Quest bars.

You should be able to adjust the height of the seat, and the height of the bars. Also your seat itself should move front & back. I like my handle bars high and my seat very forward so I am not leaning towards the handles. Your legs should extend most of the way, but not enough to lock out the knees. I try to use the bars…

My next half is on 6/7. I do Stronglifts three days a week, run 5 miles one weekday evening, and a long run on one weekend morning. I PR'd my last half in Feb by over 20 minutes and trained this way then, also.

I cook it like usual with water, when it's done and while it's still smoking hot I stir in some cheddar cheese until it's melted and gooey. Then top with a runny egg, salt pepper.

There is no definitive answer, just lots of opinions. My life would be a miserable existence without bread, therefore I eat it. Edited for grammar.

I recently took a week off from the gym and stuck to just walking in the evenings to keep from being sedentary with an upper respiratory infection. I would much rather take some time off, get well then hit it again hard than be out of commission and feeling sub par for a moment longer than necessary. Rest and recovery go…

You start with the bar, not with 5lbs. This link has a great explanation. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary

No. I have a diet soda almost every day with my lunch. It doesn't change the way I eat, or what I want to eat.

There are always a couple men in the Yoga classes I go to, and a few of my male friends also practice. Plenty of male Yogis out there too. Also: 10 (Male) Athletes and Teams You Might Not Think Would Practice Yoga http://www.stack.com/2012/09/17/yoga-athletes/

This is my standard Vinaigrette: 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon sea salt dash of ground black pepper 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil I don't use any specific brands, I just have whatever was on sale. # When I want something creamier, or dressing for bean salads, etc I make…

Compression sleeves won't help strengthen your calves, but they will help blood flow/circulation and help speed up recovery. For me, they also help reduced cramping in long runs. I might suggest doing some actual calf strengthening exercises like seated and/or standing calf raises, jump squats, etc.

I count one day from the time I wake up until I get back into bed for the night - regardless of the actual time.

Well, the Hidden Valley recipe has bread crumbs in it.. Since it's just a "toss and bake" recipe, I don't see why you couldn't reduce or omit them completely if you didn't want them.

I can't imagine doing it at a deficit. It was a taxing workout. When referring to scale weight, I had a friend that used to say "no one see numbers on the scale on your *kitten* when you walk down the street, but they do see a smaller *kitten*" Lifting will make you smaller and firmer, which in my opinion is more valuable…

Savory oatmeal with a crumbled veggie burger mixed in?

I did SL x5 for a about 10 weeks, stopping on 3/30 for a different plan since I got bored. I ate at (or slightly above on some days) maintenance. I almost doubled my squat, and was pulling 220lb deadlifts at the end of that time. I also run a couple days a week for 45-60 mins. I see the biggest difference in my back. I now…

I will break off bananas from the bunch (or more than 1 bunch if necessary) without hesitation. There's almost always a pile of singles in the banana bin - which I also raid if I need a more ripe banana for something.

It is because I love Peanut Butter that I do not eat PB2.

Yes, you will be a more efficient runner if you lift weights. http://www.hokksund-rehab.no/filarkiv/File/Forskningsartikler/StoerenHelgerud_et_al_2008.pdf ETA: Article from the Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine

I would sautee my spinach with garlic & evoo until wilted, before adding it to my burgers so it has that flavor and helps keep the turkey from drying out. Then really, since feta is so flavorful, just some salt & pepper.

This, exactly in my experience as well.

I like to wilt a big handful of spinach, and cream it with a laughing cow chipotle cheese wedge. Then I scramble my eggs with diced onions, red peppers, broccoli, mushrooms... whatever I have on hand. Add the eggs to the spinach, then add a big spoonful of salsa, mix it all up and enjoy.

Currently stalled at 116% of BW. Started at ~95lbs since that what was already squatting before SL. Been doing SL on and off for about 6 months, but consistently since 2/1.

Great post here on this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/279198-running-tip-so-you-are-about-to-do-your-first-race?hl=first+race

When I first started running, my averages were in the mid 180s. I can run a long time now at a moderate pace at about 170-175BPM. My RHR is 48-52, and it shoots up pretty fast when I run. I max out at about 190. It used to freak me out, and I spent so much time concentrating on it that I stopped listening to my body and…

Was checking to see if Corn Starch would help with binding...and found this site which you might find useful as well. http://www.myrealfoodlife.com/part-2-how-to-substitute-eggs-and-binding-agents/
