Today is my 1st day! Have been a vegetarian for 4-5 years but ready to take the next step of cutting out chicken and cheese. Facebook has a page called Challenge 22. It's a vegan diet for 22 days. It starts this Friday, April 15th

Hello! It looks like you have hit a plateau and need to change up your routine some. Our bodies are set to do this. You may want to add some weight training to your routine, cut back on some of the running and do something else for cardio. Home workouts, a local gym, there is variety everywhere. As the other person…

You're doing great, just take one day at time... one step at a time. Try adding 10-15 minutes of stretching while you're relaxing at the end of the day. Sit on the floor while watching TV with family and do some simple stretches. The more flexible your body is, the better you feel. You'll notice little things like morning…

As an instructor for 18 years, and one of a very sensitive nose, there isn't much that can be done. We welcome everyone to our classes, our facility. We try not to pinpoint one person and ask them to leave because they smell. We never know the story of why they come to us. We may be the only positive thing happening in…

Drop those numbers one at a time Erincricket! you can do this!

great suggestions above. I like to wear a headband/sweatband to help keep the sweat from dripping into my eyes. I use 2 towels, one to wipe sweat and one on top of mat for cool down. drink plenty of fluids before and after, sip during it also. I hope you enjoy it! let us know how you did!

thanks! they require lots of attention and time, just like a child. we did a lot of research before getting our first pig and he fit our lifestyle just perfect. pigs are so loyal and affectionate.

There are many benefits to yoga and weight loss is one of them. It's just a small piece of the pie. You need the other parts as well to reach your goals. Cardio, eating clean, weight training, yoga, stretching are all part of the pie. i've been teaching aerobics for almost 20 years. i currently teach some beginner yoga…

hello! step is one of my favorites!!! i've been teaching aerobics for almost 20 years and step is on top of my list of classes to teach. i'm not teaching step class at the moment, the gym i'm at doesn't have them yet but are supposed to purchase them in the near future. i bought one to keep at home and practice routines so…

I had the same issue... on my 2nd Up band. compared to a Polar HRM, I prefer the Polar. I have always used one to train with. I tried the Up band to monitor my sleep patterns. Pretty cool info! Both are helpful, I just get more from the HRM for my training needs.

Hello! I'm a fitness instructor and have been teaching for 17 years. A calorie burn really varies. I've had ppl in the same class say they burn 350 calories and another person will say they burned 800. I have always used a Polar heart rate monitor that I program my info into. What it reads compared to "averages" or what a…

Hello! I teaching indoor cycling and I'm happy to see the positve comments that you have! People either love it or hate it, no in betweeners. There is a difference between spinning and cycling. I prefer cyling because of the upper body workouts that can be included. I see the sore butt issue mentioned, it does get easier,…

CONGRATS!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!

yes you will notice a diff in you movements with every type of change you make to your dieting. As you said we all do it, but no one really likes to talk about it but it is very important to track. It's a natural part of being human. The more you notice how much, how often, color, texture and ect the more you will know…

our son was raised in a gym since we owned one for years but he started lifting when he was around 10-11...body weight exercises, free weights and bench press. my husband was a sponsored athlete with Universal Nutrition and holds several world titles in drug free federations and trained our son from day 1. we all competed…

i'm so excited that you finished!!! way to gooo! my son and friends have done several 5k mud runs the last few years and so tempted to a Tough Mudder! our goal is to do one next year....maybe i'll see you on the course!

You are incredible and my new inspiration!! im 43 and fight for a body like yours everyday! I will never quit until i get there! you look amazing! have you thought about competing in figure? I've been teaching aerobics for over 15 years and still at it. i have noticed my body has changed a lot within the last 5 years in a…

I feel physical attraction is a big part of a relationship. I was teaching aerobics at a gym years ago and this powerlifter came up the steps as i was going down them, we smiled at each other as our eyes met...I almost fell to my knees, there was something inside me that just brought butterflies. I got a tingling feeling…

Hello! I am 44 and have been showing Arabian and Half Arabian horses my whole life. my dad is a horse trainer (and retired electrian) and i grew up on a 50 horse farm in Ohio. we have downsized over the years but still show. i do a lot of trail riding now that i've retired my show horse but still take him to a few shows a…

Hello! I've been teaching Zumba for years and I've had every size, age and shape in class. Every person is diff and is at a diff fitness level, which makes Zumba a blast! anything goes in my classes, it is fun to see the diff personalities come to life. some songs make ppl hoot n hollar, some ppl come to zone out and…

Hello! I teach aerobics and Zumba several times a week..... and just had a bout with PF again....i've had it several times in the 15 years of teaching. I know my body well and can feel it coming on when it does. Over training, teaching, running does it every time. I can not stop teaching because of this so what I did to…

hello! yes is it normal for this to happen if you are new to yoga or any type of exercise. you are putting your body in new positions using body weight so do what you can. start off, hold the position as long as you can and then take a rest. listen to your body, and try do a little more each time. your strength and agility…

i did the one in Ohio last year with my 14 year son and had an absolute blast!!! it was freaking awesome! yes, as in any sport you have to be careful. they ran 800 ppl in a wave every half hour so, there were 1000's of ppl there to run it. all walks of life, all fitness levels. the obstacles were fun, some harder than…

glad to hear u girls are loving spinning classes! i've been teaching advanced cycling classes for 8 years and love it! i've been teaching aerobics for 15 years and my cycling classes are the hardest. if you're new, adjust the tension control as to your endurance and strength level. you can "hang" in any class, just take at…

I love it! my husband is a powerlifter and the guys i lift with are also. it's part of the sport. we just sold our gym last year and it was a hard core gym. hard core music blastin, chalk on the floor, grunting n swearing. it's part of the territory in our world. we had an awesome strenght team that competed and when these…

sorry to hear about your experience. my husband and i just sold our gym and i will say customer service was most important to us. i taught aerobics at the gym for 14 years and my husband lifted there for years before we purchased it. we knew everyone that walked through the door by name because 1. we worked out with most…
