Sweating is good! I sweat buckets! Stay hydrated. Dont be embarrassed, but appreciate it. Be proud of your sweat!

Your FT4 has your weight, age and gender, and also it measures your heart rate. The machine at the gym captures your heart rate from your transmitter. It will only use your weight if you eneter your weight right before you start. Some machine do not even have the setting for entering weight. Most machines do not have a…

I gained weight after menopause. Then i lost it on a strict diet and exercise. It came back. Then i lost it again. And many times over. Every time more difficult. Even though my workouts are more and more rigorous. But also i observed a number of women my age, same story.

Unfortunately, it seems to be true

Every time I leave my office to go to the bathroom, I run up and down two flights of stairs a couple of times. also, I used to out for a short break twice a day and skip rope in the parking lot.

Diet red bull on my way to the gym, in the car. Saves time, too!

What are Russian twists?

I am a woman in the satisfactory - fair bf range, and I do see some definition. True, my fat goes mostly to my hips. I do indeed do my ab and lateral ab routines very regularly, they are my fav.

I spent a little over a week at the True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, Ca. I did water fasting, and I lost weight and kept it off for 6 months after that. Also, it made my face look so much younger, my friends thought I had had a secret face lift. They teach you to cook vegan without any salt or fat, and it is a…

Gin and tonic with diet tonic would be really low calorie and tastes great too!

If you are looking for more efficient calorie burn, try the spin classes. Also, step aerobics. But in general, come into a class and talk to the teacher first, say that you are new, and they will help you. 5 or 6 years ago, I did not do any classes, but now I am an addict. Once you get used to them, it is much more fun.…

Thank you, Jellyphant! I will do a load of laundry of my workout clothes with my strap in it tonight, while I will be doing my 35 min 6 weeks sixpack. Do you put it into the dryer after the washing, or let it hang dry?

I wash any mild detergent for dark colors, preferably without a fragrance. In my experience, it is important NOT to put my sweaty wet workout clothes into the laundry basket, or whereever they would remain wet for hours. That wet environment breeds bacteria, and then they produce smell. Once that happened, the workout…

I actually like it better than the regular cottage cheese... One thing you could do it to crumble it into small crumbles and add it to any pancake mix (i love Trader Joe's Multigrain Pancake mix). Stir it well. Add other ingredients like in the pancake recipe. The resulting pancakes are delicious, and they have a bigger…

I agree in part. What does irritate me is long-haired girls wearing their hair down and participating in a group class... and then i see their long hairs all over the floor in this class and the other classes in the same room later... doing pushups or burpees or mountain-climbing... seeing all those hairs right in front of…

awesome! you are an inspiration to me!!!

I just bought 3 of Jillian Michaels DVD on Groupon. When they arrive, I will start with 6 weeks 6 pack! Hope they will arrive by Monday!

Many thanks to everybody who responded to my question!

I was eating back my exercise calories, and after initial loss of 8 pounds i stopped losing any weight... that continued for months. Now I decided to increase my exercise and eat back only half the calories... did it for less than a week, did not lose any, and boy, am I hungry today!!! I am going to go and eat something…

When I used to work out early in the morning, I used to eat a piece of fruit and drink one small diet Red Bull in the car on my way to the gym. Now I only work out in the morning on Saturdays when I do not have to go to work. My class is at 9:30, so I have plenty of time to have a cup of coffee and a piece of toast with…

This is a very sensible post. However, such an approach does not work for all people. If you are a postmenopausal woman, it is natural for you to put on weight. However, you will be healthier if you do not. May be it is natural for people to die at 60, but i want to live long and healthy, be strong and muscular, and have a…

Clearly this trainer is not working for you! Get another one. A good trainer will motivate you, will come up with a variety of excercises so you are not bored, and the main thing he will be there for you, yelling at you if needed, higher, harder, one , two more, keep your back straight, etc

I never trieed Krispy Kremes in my life... and now I am not going too... hehehe

I read that the personal shoppers who are advertizing their services in big cities are getting commissions from the big department stores. Like a 10% commission at least. And they expect you to spend at least a couple of thousand. So she will get at least $200 in commission. If she gives you really good service you may…

Listen to your body! I never exercised all my life, stared after chemo in 2005. When i was 48. Now i am almost 56, exercise 6 days a week. Feel very energized every time after a workout. I do drink diet red bull that helps me to have more vigorous workouts.
