is there pain or are they puffy like there's water there? if the later you should see a doctor and get your blood pressure checked

generally speaking i only count stuff i do during exercise as exercise. i consider things like cleaning, walking up the BART steps, the 10K steps I take during my work day as just parts of my everyday life. After all, I got fat doing all those things so I don't see how they would magically help me lose weight just because…

My favorite HIIT is sprinting, since I find machines get in the way of me going as fast/hard as I can, especially during the acceleration parts at the beginning and end of the interval.

depends on what your goals are. just keep doing it and see what happens. it's not like you're going to accidentally open a vortex to a hell dimension or something. the worst that can happen is that you get tired and have to take more rest days

before doing anything you want to get look at by a physical therapist. the issue could be joint or muscular or a combination of the two. definitely do NOT increase weight or amount of pressure on the area until you figure out what's going on. in general, this has been really helpful for me and my wonky shoulder…

your thread title is how i gained 70 pounds :laugh: it's down to calories, if you're eating more calories than you need, then you will gain weight regardless of your workouts or how healthy your food is

ummm... wow.... :huh:

OP you're basically asking if it's beneficial to not challenge yourself :smile: look into a structured progressive strength training program like strong lifts, strong curves, starting strength, new rules of lifting for women etc. but in general you want to be working with a weight that challenging enough that you need a…

i've never seen anything like that on the show because i've also been curious to know how much they are eating, how much they are burning etc. the closet thing i've seen was a few seasons ago there was a girl on jill's team who wasnt losing like jill thought she would and her calorie goal was 1600. turns out she was eating…

breathe into the diaphragm, that should also be the normal breathing too since it helps raise your prana/chi/ki whatever you want to call it. basically it helps you get more oxygen into your blood

just continually and consistently challenge yourself. for instance dont wait until a weight is easy before you increase it

where's the food. OP hunger isn't a good indication of when you should or shouldnt be eating because hunger is controlled by hormones. eat more food

i'm using these since i cant even do a negative yet :laugh: http://www.amazon.com/Green-WODFitters-Resistance-Power-lifting-Satisfaction/dp/B00IQM3WYK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411079581&sr=8-1&keywords=pull-up+bands

if you're strength training (working in the 1-5 rep range) then you should do cardio before but not too much to keep energy for the strength portion. if you are simply weight training (working in the 8+ rep range) then it's probably not going to matter

what are your goals?

have fun!!

but why does proclaiming one person's beauty need to be linked with proclaiming who doesnt look like that isn't beautiful?

after a workou with my gym bag, wearing workout leggings and a tee that's all sweaty and i'm all sweaty even in the winter. i jog home the few blocks from the gym and sometimes i stop in the corner store for a cold coke zero. the guy behind the counter asks "did you just come from the gym?" :laugh:

I think so as well but as an athlete i seriously doubt she doing stuff in order to get a certain physique. for me personally, many of the crossfit ladies i watched compete don't have a look i'd like for myself. but they got there with A LOT of hard work and eating like champs, so it's not something that happens by mistake…

how long is a piece of string?

well you're wearing cotton, that's probably #1 in terms of staying dry. wearing moisture wicking materials is really helpful when working out if you're a sweater

how do you even know what her goals are ? :laugh:

base it on your fitness goals. but in general a well rounded plan should include components of cardio conditioning, strength training, and flexibility/mobility

5 pounds is not going to make that much a difference calorie wise

maybe because those doing the teaching in those women's mags dont know much about physiology and anatomy?

Somatypes dont really exist. They were started to try to attribute psychological and personality traits to people's shapes. the only way someone can get "bulky" is by eating more food than their body needs (ie getting fatter) it has nothing to do with the workouts. what are your goals? lose weight/cut fat : eat a deficit…

i think this is where the exasperation comes in because people will sometimes say, i know you can't spot reduce but how can i ton (ie spot reduce) not to mention the fact that the word is so subjective that it means absolutely nothing because what it means depends on the user. but really the main people we should be…

i like the shiva rae dvds. she has them structured on a matrix so you can pick and choose different sections to tailor your practice. yoga zone is also good and if you have cable i think they are ondemand under "sports and fitness"

#2 isn't worth the potential shoulder pain for me

why oh why oh why would you ever ask a guy a question like this if you arent prepared to hear something effed up in return? i didnt even read the rest of the OP, because you were pretty much asking to hear nonsense considering the question
