  • It's definitely very easy to fall into a comfortable pattern from time to time. I know personally that I can't just go for a run and feel fulfilled, I'm the kind of person who needs to be more involved and I love trying new things. I don't know your financial situation nor is it my business, but maybe try joining a health…

  • I have been a happy user of the Polar FT4. After entering in your age, gender, height and weight it calculates you heart rate (by syncing the watch to a chest strap you must wear) and it calculates calories burned at the end of your workout. There are a ton of Polar watches to choose from but I've been very happy with the…

  • I hate bananas too! I love banana flavored things (banana bread, smoothies, etc.) but I can't stand the consistency of a banana.

  • I strongly disliked hummus, collard greens, kale and tofu before I started changing my diet. Now, I love all 4 :)

  • Hi Jonny, I've had a similar issue and it's actually related to my mild IBS. The rumbling in your stomach area is actually gas/air. This sounds weird, by my rumbling and bubbling noises come from my intestines when I'm trying to digest. It seems to be much worse when I eat something really fatty and creates a lot of air.…

  • Yeah, every time school starts for me it's like I need to rearrange my life. Making time for classes, studying, homework, etc. not to mention a social life! The first couple weeks are hectic to adjust to, but I suggest making a schedule. Class 1: 9am, Class 2: 11am, Lunch: 1pm, Gym: 3pm, etc. Actually scheduling the gym…

  • Insanity is a form of HIIT-High Intensity Interval Training. And unfortunately, this form of HIIT is notorious for causing knee-related injuries. It happened to me, and honestly it's never a good idea to keep performing that kind of exercise if it causes pain or injury. If you like that kind of workout without the risky…

  • Have you heard the saying "Abs are made in the kitchen"? It's so true! You could do all the ab exercises you want, but without getting rid of the layer of fat on top of the muscle, you won't see results. Just be conscious of what you eat. Blueberries are one of the top belly fat blasters, I eat 2-3 cartons a week :)

  • Joanna, I purchased a Polar FT4 HRM and I love it! Polar has put out an entire line of fitness watches so you'll have to research which one will work best for you. I chose this model because it calculates calories burned as well. I find it to be accurate when I plug in my exercise to MFP, the same totals come up. Also,…
