yep but you will probably stall a bit quicker since you're forcing your body to do even more with less.

with your own dumbbells, check out strong curves or new rules of lifting for women. they have DB modifications

those are more low back stretches than hamstring stretches. what about when you lay on your back and bring your leg up straight towards you? that's going to be more of a hammy stretch than the leaning/hanging ones

and is there such a things as without fuel? isnt that why glycogen is stored in muscles anyway? i lift once a week fasted since sundays i wake up =, go to the gym do my workout and then have a decent brunch afterwards. i didnt feel as if my progress is hampered anymore than the other days when i lift at the end of the day…

do you mean the erector spinae? to strengthen then try squatting, deadlifts and learn power cleans.

bait must be low carb

i have a left shoulder issue as well but totally fine for lat pulldowns. one exercise i will probably never be able to do again with any good amount of weight is the power snatch. i just dont think my shoulder would be able to stabilize itself in the joint quick enough. i also have to pick and chose my battles in terms of…

panache and shock absorber. there no reason to wear 3 bras tell your trainer to take the time machine to 2014. I'm ebetween a 34/36 H/HH and i do just fine with 1 bra from panache or shock absorber. both are excellent for high impact activities

this. expect to have have fun watching your weights lifted increase and your form improve. i get excited about the teeniest things now dont forget the value of restorative work like yoga, foam rolling, stretching. all of these can be really helpful dont freak out if you have days where you want to eat nothing but protein.…

i also have hypermobile joints but found that consistent weight training and muscle strengthening really helped protect me from having even more sprains and dislocations. it's actually one of the main reasons why i've kept up with weight training for the past 26 years for your knee you want to strengthen your hamstrings,…

OP it depends on several things - did you factor exercise into the original equation to get your current maintenance? - how much fat do you have to lose? the closer you are to healthy body weight the harder it is to lose fat since that's what your body uses in case of a famine. PS our bodies still haven't caught up to the…

no

if you dont want to deal with barbells and want to stick with body weight, you can make your body weight routine more difficult by adding things like bulgarian split squats, pistol squats or squat jumps. just make sure to get post parallel on the squat to reduce any injury to the knee. you could also add glute bridges you…

probably not. but just see what it feels like when you derack, step back and try a rep. if you need to adjust then just do that

have you seen your doctor and been cleared for exercise? if you have, and dont have heart issues then dont worry about the heart rate.

so explain the women who have saddle bags before tight low rise jeans were invented.

these are usually called saddle bags and they are genetic. :laugh:

step 1. pick strong lifts or starting strength or new rules of lifting for women or strong curves step 2. eat at a deficit that's 10-20% below your TDEE step 3. be consistent step 4. profit

start now. I started out with 80 pounds to lose, and now down to around 50. look up strong lifts (a free website) OR new rules of lifting (a book) OR strong curves (a book) OR starting strength (book and free wiki site) these are all solid lifting programs for beginners. each week i do 3 days of strength training and 2-3…

eating more than your body needs is over eating. i think some people dont like hearing that because for some there's a huge issue about publicly eating food when you're obese. but really if you're overweight you ate more food than your body needs, if you're obese then you ate more food than you needed on a consistent basis…

they THINK they are only eating that much. there was recently a thread where someone was shocked that their basket of onion rings and hot wings that were from chickens that must be the size of turkeys came out to be close to 2000 calories. i think this is also why people who have been obese and do a lot of diets end up…

a) working out doesnt burn anywhere near as many calories as many people think b) what are your workouts. you say you are working out for 90 minutes but 90 minutes of farting around isn't going to burn anywhere near as much as 45 minutes of concentrated effort

how long is a piece of string?

8 pounds a month is pretty good. odd are most of that was water weight though, especially to lose that much that quickly. i'd say keep at and give it another 2 weeks. if still no loss then make sure to accurately log what you're eating. you say that you missed a few day, but 2 days is enough to undo a deficit depending on…

if you dont have thyroid issues then your metabolism is fine. there's no need to speed it up

someone would have to be pretty weak to consider the elliptical an arm or leg workout . not that there's anything wrong with STARTING there, but staying at that level is not "getting fit". eventually when a certain baseline of fitness is created then turning the resistance all the way up 10 isnt going to be enough to…

if it's working for you and you're OK with it then why do you need our approval? you're an adult buying and preparing your own food, why are you looking to some strangers in the internet to agree or disagree with what you do? PS Im losing just fine (2 pounds per week average) eating 1700-2000 calories on average.

what's your definition of fitness OP? generally speaking fitness about being able to increase the amount of work you do in the same amount of time. so i would say anything that is scaleable and causes a bit of discomfort

you could do a body pod/dexiscan test to get an idea of your current LBM and go from there. that's what i did. i have a weight range and an idea of how much body fat i'd be comfortable with maintaining.

why freak out about what your goal weight should be now that you're just starting? sounds like an invitation to start making excuses. you're getting frustrated over something that wont be an issue for another 5-6 months and even then it's not that much of a problem
