i personally dont think there is such a thing as over training but there is under recovery. recovery includes proper rest and nutrition. looking at your schedule no i dont think this is too much especially since most of the things you are doing are low impact. for the record, i dont take fitness advice from people i know…

okee dokee then.. enjoy your headaches and fatigue

if OP can already run over a mile c25k is a step back since it's set up for people who cant do that yet (ie someone who is starting from the couch so to speak) OP if you're able to run 2 miles now then you're definitely going to be ready to run the 5k in 8 weeks (barring injuries/vacations/etc). i think the longer run once…

agreed. you arent eating enough. OP i bet you could eat 1000 calories more and still be able to lose weight

i wear natural deodorants and so far the best one i've found is Oyin Naturals Funk Butter (in coco-mango scent) since it's baking soda based it's an antiperspirant too.since the consistency is like putty application is a bit messy so if i can find something in a stick form that works then i'm changing i recently got a…

how many calories are you eating overall?

this. the only difference is that when cutting you will hit a wall faster where you wont be able to increase your weights but that doesnt mean you can't continue to lift heavy (i hate that term :laugh: )

OP it doesnt matter where you start just that you consistently progress

actually deep squats post parallel are pretty easy on the knees. i've been to a body pump classes and the way the squats are times means that you end up doing half squats that place way too much pressure on the knees. check out strong lifts, starting strength, strong curves or new rules of lifting for women

yep DOMS... DELAYED onset muscle soreness dont avoid going to the gym. working out helps

am i the only one disturbed by "butt pee"?

misty copeland dont worry about having a dancer's body just be a good dancer. you can't change your genetic code

my trainer just recently introduced me to sprints on the rower. the basic goal for me is to get 500m split to under 2.5 minutes while reducing my stroke count to under 25. this basically means that i need to pull with more power than i'd normally do and each stroke since get me 10m. i'm still working on it . i usually keep…

no damage, just work at it and eventually you'll get there. if you really get the lifting bug then you'll find that there's always going to be some movement that you have to continually work out and other are just going to come natural. lifters are almost always working on improving form. for the starting weight for the…

ugggh that's disgusting. i'd have told them the only way i'd be having sex with them was with their mom's vagina since they were probably already used to it anyway

i'd just wear cross trainers or minimalist running shoes. i switch off between chucks (for lifting), brooks pureconnect (for days with lots of running) and merrell minimals for days where i'm lifting, sprinting or just feel like wearing a lighter shoe

i like my brooks pureconnect. light enough to not get in the way of stuff like 2nd pair and am cleans, squats, etc but still supportive for running.

awww man sorry to hear your having a tough time. :flowerforyou: usually people's bodies have strange reactions to surgeries and you could be retaining water from that. just get back up on that horse. setbacks can sometimes be reminders on what are true motivations are for doing things. just get focused and centered, focus…

look into beginner strength programs like starting strength, strong lifts, strong curves, new rules of lifting. the first 2 are free programs on the interwebz. the last 2 are books both of which have pretty good info. with those programs you'll be ditching the accessory work like biceps shrugs and abs and will be working…

not sure about the hot and worked up comment that was a bit unnecessary. in any case, i dont understand what the point is about the squat being demanding on the back for long legged squatters. who cares, back squats are demanding on everyone's backs. get the form right, engage your core, develop the strength, mobility…

IMO if you are running at a speed that you can still walk then you cant claim it as running. it's more uncomfortable because it's less efficient i'm 5'5 and a speed of 5.0 is on the borderline of walking and jogging. i'm really not sure what the difference between jogging and running is but i actually dont feel like like…

i agree with this, especially the bold. also if you have 30 minutes of LISS left in you after HIIT then you werent doing HIIT right. true HIIT also messes with your hormones, especially leptin and ghrelin, so thats not something you want to be doing all the time. i love sprinting but i leave the true HIIT sprints for 2-3…

i pushed through. i only repeated if i couldnt finish a workout. discomfort (but not pain) is a necessary part of getting fitter getting past physical discomfort is a mental thing

as a long term long legged squatter i just have to comment on the bold. it isn't unsafer for us to go deep than anyone else with shorter legs. weighted back squats put pressure on everyone. this is why it's important to always have good form (regardless if you're doing an air squat or lifting 3 times your body weight) and…

eat your mayo just fit it into your calories. if you really want to be anal about it then make your own with egg yolks and olive oil and herbs and spices mixed together. there are recipes on the net. i think you're mistaking healthy with low calorie which if that's the case then why not just drink water and eat ice since…

i should get that tee for all the boring, stupid ugly people i know in ohio

just take the on-ramp class and see if you like it or not. the on ramp is designed pretty much the same way the regular WODs are done, just with more instruction on technique and form. all of the workouts are scalable in terms of weights and movements. for instance if you cant do a rope climb then start off by just just…

in addition to other suggestions, i would also suggest adding in oly lifts if you havent already.

- i've had dudebros joke and tell me that the weight machines are in a different part of the gym than where i was. - i've had a dudebro tell me he was using the bench I was setting up on. on and there was no towel there, no weights on the bar. - i was once told after a yoga class by some old busy body who wasnt the…

2100 isnt that large. i'm 42 and mine is 2700-3000 so at your age i'd actually think yours might be a bit low.
