^^ I added a raw egg this morning to it.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I get up at 4:00 am because I have 5:00 am MMA training sessions. Each night before bed, I put all my workout gear and my hrm on a chair in the dining room. Then I pour my morning dry oatmeal into a bowl on the kitchen counter and place a cup with water in the microwave. I try to get to…

Gotta bookmark these references.

Here's the thing that I always get confused about: am I not to go below the BMR of my current weight or my goal weight? I've actually read conflicting information. For me, I do concentrate on the weight because I'm preparing to do an amateur MMA fight and I'm trying to get close to the weight class I want to fight in.

Woo hoo! In before the lock! Keep up the great work and screw all the h8rs!

Generally speaking, you want to eat a small meal or snack about 1.5 hours before your workout. It should be mainly carbs (the most efficient energy source) with some protein. Post workout you want to reverse that and have a small meal or snack that is mainly protein with some carbs. I hear varying arguments for the timing,…

This is what a good friend of mine posted on Facebook. It really puts things into perspective: Is BELLY-FAT "Really" Stubborn and Harder to LOSE? "Whenever someone asks me about belly-fat, and how to lose it, it ALWAYS reminds me of a conversation I had years ago. While sitting on an outdoor deck after a Summer rain, a…

Just off the top of my head, maybe try setting a different goal that isn't based on a weight measured on a scale. The scale is a good tool to help on your journey, but its not a perfect tool either. Some people say weight is only a number, then perhaps try focusing on another number. Maybe challenge yourself to lose 1%…

I do kickboxing two days a week and do MMA training three days a week. I love the classes. I can get between 500 - 900 calories burned during an hour class. I also round it out with weight training during the week as well.

"I would think if it was a "diet wonder", then everyone would be putting cinnamon on everything and losing weight" ^^^^This!

Do they really have an HRM or anything like that for swimming?

I'm sorry but house work is not exercise. So it doesn't matter at what intensity you do it. Enjoy you're lil jog on the elliptical. If you want to be rude, then expect rude back.

Actually, I do a lot of the housework (our laundry washer and dryer is next door so I have to carry all the laundry out the front door then into the basement next door) and cooking around the house. On the weekends I'm working on my motorcycle and going to sporting events. None of that physical activity gets logged because…

The average person's definition of exercise is vague. But I don't see where mowing the lawn or scrubbing a house is progressive. I'm sure there are people that will argue that it's structured and planned. If you sweat more doing house work than on an elliptical, then my observation would be that the intensity should be…

Let's take the emotion of being a homebody vs. a career vs. younger vs. older out of this whole discussion. Let's get scientific for a moment. The tab clearly says exercise and is broken down into cardio & strength training. Exercise is defined as planned, structured, and progressive process by which a significant exertion…

I don't take any BCAAs and my delayed onset muscle soreness (doms) went away in about a month after starting my weight training regimen.

That's funny, I'm addicted to Cherry Coke too! I used to drink like a six-pack a day. I drink my 8 glasses of water a day, but I try to make a 20 oz. Cherry Coke last me a week. That way I still get a little taste everyday. :)

A lot of folks have some great suggestions, but one that I haven't seen yet is overtraining. Even though you aren't doing weight training, you are doing cardio 6 days a week. The body needs time to heal in between workouts. Maybe take a week off from doing any exercise than a nice walk. Then pick it back up, but only every…

Go to Target and get their store brand whey protein, Market Pantry Whey Protein. For 30 servings, it's $19.99 and you can find it on sale sometimes for $16.99. This is what I use with a tablespoon of honey, banana, and water. No need to waste your money on more expensive products.

I went to Target and got the Market Pantry Whey Protein for $19.99 for thirty servings. Way better then $120 a month. I make with one scoop of protein, 8 ounces of water, 1 banana, and 1 tablespoon honey.

I'm 42, I listen to it, I even remix it. I stay current with all the current dance tunes and my 32GB Zune is full of dance remixes for when I go work out. #Don'tJudge

I'm 5'11, 254lbs and have burned 941 calories doing 60 minutes of MMA conditioning. I train three days a week for anywhere from 50 minutes to 80 minutes and range from the high 700s to the high 1100s. To measure my calorie burn, I use a Polar HRM with chest strap.

Wow! You were really working hard on your traps! Those are amazing traps!
