Calisthenics or circuit training. If I recall correctly, TRX is mostly body weight exercises.

A calorie deficit is eating fewer calories than you burn during the day. 1. Set up MFP: Goals -> Guided. Enter your weight, set your lifestyle as sedentary, and that you want to lose 2 pounds per week. 2. Log your food. Stay under your calorie budget. 3. Lose weight.

Pure Protein makes a great chocolate bar with 21 grams of protein for 180 calories. Don't kid yourself, it's not a healthy way to eat, but if my choice is a snickers or this bar, I'm going for the bar. Priced between 0.99 cents and 1.29 it's very competetive with candy bars.

Could also be a thyroid issue. Talk with your doctor on your next check-up. That being said, unless you are morbidly obese, weight is about the worse indicator of health there is. These forums are LOADED with posts of women who lift who weigh 10 pounds more than when they were cardio bunnies, but look far thinner. So how…

Either way you do it, it's going to be a wild guess at best. It's start and stop work, so even an HRM won't give you an accurate measurement.

Keep in mind protein is needed only after lifting weights. You also need some carbs to replace glycogen. Nuts - Loaded with healthy fats and some protein. Yogurt - Fat free or greek has a great protein/calorie ratio. Eggs - Can't go wrong. Dry roasted edamame - Decent protein, good flavor. Pretzels - Mini twists, mini…

Yup

Sure, lots of weight lifting available using arms, shoulders, back, chest, core, etc.

Elliptical covers a wide range. Some have arm motion bars, others don't. Some allow elevation control, others don't. Some have straight line foot paths (less bouncing), others are circular (more natural). Personally I prefer the Precor models that have both the arm motions and elevation controls. Stationary bikes also…

You can buy adapters that plug into a headphone jack and pair with bluetooth. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bluetooth+headphone+adapter&tbm=shop enjoy.

To attempt to even remotely calculate calories burned during weightlifting is tough for a number of reasons, which has been detailed repeatedly in these forums. The math is .00032 calories per pound per foot. But your body is not very efficient, and don't forget the negative phase. Generally speaking, assuming a 2 foot…

Repeat after me: Body weight can fluctuate by over 3 pounds. Body weight can fluctuate by over 3 pounds. Body weight can fluctuate by over 3 pounds. Therefore, I shouldn't worry about any weight under 3 pounds.

If you are going wildly overboard, then you might want to scale back as an abundance of sugar can cause health issues. If it's just a little over, and it's unprocessed sugars from fruits, etc, don't worry about it.

You can create your own exercise as well

Sweat more. Then you get to have more salt.

Yes, but not anything specific. Calculate on HR, or manually adjust based on what your treadmill says.

Because most cycles have gears and allow you to coast.

I would get any of a number of interval timers that allow you to put in multiple steps (A HIIT Interval Timer, for example). Then just program in the stuff you want: 3-point, jump shot, low dribble, suicides, whatever.

When you put your body into a stressful situation, your heart rate elevates. This has a number of bio-evolutionary benefits including allowing your brain to process more information (watching the instructor, actively triggering muscles in a coordinated rhythym, etc). The first time you perform an exercise, your HR will…

A know most crossift is just some form of calisthenics, but on the workouts that involve actual weight training (weight less than 20 rep max), a heart rate monitor is all but useless for calculating calorie burns. Also, keep in mind, HRMs are assuming steady state aerobics, such as using an elliptical or treadmill. If you…

Heart Rate Monitors do one thing: They monitor your heart rate. It is probably as good at doing that as any of them. Many HRMs are able to use your heart rate to calculate an estimated calorie burn during steady state aerobic exercise. However, your HR can adjust for any number of issues. One of which is your body's…

Holy smokes. This may be one of the best things I've ever read.

Free pizza. Free bagels. Free tootsie rolls. No high intensity intervals. No deadlifting, at any weight. But, yes, it's the massage chairs that PF actually got right when it comes to health.

It is good aerobics. Any time you push your limits, your body adapts to allow you to more handle those limits. Get a HRM with a band, so you can have an accurate objective record of how hard you are pushing. Look into Tabata style workouts. Incorporate body resistance movements, such as burpees, pull-ups, etc.

No HRM will be good for measuring calorie burn throughout the day. HRMs measure only one thing, and that's your heart rate. The calorie expenditure do to volume load placed on your heart during steady state aerobic exercise (55% Max < HR < 75% Max) is calculated from fairly understood principles. Measuring your HR during…

Because it activates different parts of the muscles. Hammer curls activate more of the forearm and take part of the load from the biceps. Hammer curls activate more of the outer bicep, adding a fuller look to your arm. Hammer curls also have a more natural wrist position, which can help people recovering from certain…

A quick search in these forums shows about 12,468 people with the exact same issue, and for all of them the answer is the same: 1: You didn't gain that much weight. 2: Body weight fluctuates 3 to 5 pounds a day for any number of reasons.

1: Exercise is more than simply weight loss. It has a host of other benefits. You haven't undone all of those benefits just because you ate a bunch of food. 2: Food and exercise both create endorphins in the body. Usually when you crave food, what you actually want is the endorphin. Exercise cuts down food cravings. So…
