  • I've been pretty sore after new kettlebell routines ESP when I upped to 15lb but usually only after the first workouts.
  • Late... After 10 pm usually. Afterwards, I plan and prep for the next days dinner, pack lunches, tidy the house. After I am no longer actively sweating I take a shower. By that time the adrenaline has worn off and I am ready to sleep well. It's important to stretch really well after a late workout or you can wake up with…
  • 50 here, no pics. Finished 30 day shred over 4 months but I do something every day, just like to mix things up. Each level seems hard at first but gets easier each time. I was running regularly but never worked on my arms and core before. Now I can do 15 real pushups in a row and wear those sleeveless dresses. Actually got…
  • I have finished 2 weeks of Kettleworx (6 workouts) with a 10 lb kettlebell. The cycle goes cardio- core-resistance (3 20 min workouts a week). The cardio and resistance workouts make me sweat but the core does not, perhaps I am not pushing my abs far enough. There is a 10 minute fast fat burn circuit included on a bonus…
  • you might want to try kettlebells. I bought the kettleworx program and a 10 lb kettlebell and am on my 2nd week. There is a lot of criticism leveled at the editing of the sequences (cut and paste, choppy), but the workouts are pretty intense and definitely low impact. Just make sure to review kettlebell technique (lots of…
  • Dark chocolates with caramel! I eat at least one a day (85 cals each), they are so worth exercising for!
  • You look great, forget the scale at this point and work on strength and endurance. I always like the healthy slim strong bodies more than the super skinny ones. You already have heathy and slim and poss also strong. Congrats!,
  • Incredible... This past weekend, when I was on a college visit with my son, the cafeteria cashier thought I was a student! Must be due to all the exercising I've done over the last few months. My 18 yo always asks me to work out with him and finally i can keep up. These 50 year old abs are almost flat for the first time…
  • 5'4" , SW 135, GW120. For loss of .5 lb a week I am allowed 1250 calories. Not enough for me so I have to stand at my computer desk at work and use a stepper when I can to get a few hundred calories extra to eat. Work out 3-4 times a week ( running a few miles and/or 30 day shred) and eat back most of those calories too.…
  • Here are some thoughts. I am allowed 1250 kcals by MFP to lose 1/2 lb per week so I struggle with this also. 1) decrease your weight loss goal to 1/2 lb per week if you are not already there. You will still get there slowly but surely. It's better to have a higher goal that you stick to than a lower goal that is not…
  • Yup I make it a rule to not eat it until I've earned it. Most of my exercise calories go to sweet stuff so not ideal but I have a sweet tooth and this is working for me . I am set to lose 1/2lb per week and only allowed 1250cals without exercise so I would feel deprived without the ability to eat more by exercising.
  • First, you look fantastic! Second, can you share how you did that cool animation? Did you take pictures all along the way in the same position! Too cool!
