Please tell me you are not paying the trainer and it's just a free consult.. I would run away very fast. I just joined at my local YMCA last year and self-taught a lot of weight training stuff. I followed Stronglifts 5x5 (still do).. Your trainer is right in a sense that you shouldn't go jump in a fire when you're a new…

Haha seriously though.. I think that's why my hip flexors hurt after ball hockey. All it takes is one wrong but sharp move or leaning on one side too much is enough to do it. Try walking for an hour around your neighbourhood and let us know if that helps. Hope you feel better soon.

I got mine for $60 at Winners, they fit well, have some kind of gel/memory foam like sole in them and most importantly don't give me shin splints.. I have read numerous times to go and get fitted at a running store but I simply cannot afford shoes that cost that much. One day :-)

Your running form could be off too, not cooling down after your run, too much too soon, etc,..

If you carry the bar high up, going below parallel is best IMO.. either way, you should aim to squat to atleast parallel regardless of what type of squat you are doing. I have to agree with the person who mentioned focusing on yourself. It's one thing to watch and admire but never compare your squat to that of someone…

This is a good stretch.

I experience this when I don't warm up properly enough before lifting weights.. had similar pain in my hip flexors from not warming up properly before ball hockey. So bad, I couldn't even stretch properly. Rest + walking helped a lot during the following day and I went for a jog in the evening. Pain was gone.. if it…

You guys are doing great! Keep at it :)

I have full fat dairy all the time... deficit, heavy lifting, some cardio, lots of water will get you there. Your weight doesn't even have to change much.

My NSV was this past Sunday playing ball hockey... realized my panties are too big. They don't stay up anymore ;) :blushing: :laugh:

How people can even concentrate on their phone while running is really beyond me.. much applause to those who can :P

Definitely recommend HIIT or some form of interval training

Yeah I would ignore anything that says running will ruin your backside.. Not sure how you took the last comment as rude either.. Sounds like encouragement to me!

A work in progress but Stronglifts definitely works wonders. Currently eating 2200+ a day. 5'6"/ 24y Left pic is Day 1 @ 181.5lbs, 32%BF Right pic is Day 107 (Today) @ 177.5lbs, 22.5%BF 1st pic is Day 62, 2nd pic is today (Day 107)

Babe! Great progress! :)

You know what will kill your booty? Not doing SQUATS!!!

It really works your quads, hams, calves and to some extent your abs.. I think doing strength and eating at a slight deficit really helps get the fat off though. Cardio is really just a bonus

Tricep dips, tricep dip w your legs across two benches...

#1 tip: Don't hold onto the bar Seriously - do Couch 2 5k. Rundouble app has it (and a whole bunch of other programs) and its free

Dem legs.. after my run time is over

Why in the world would anyone care what someone else in wearing at the gym enough to post it on a fitness website? For real though, I just focus on me when I'm at the gym.

in for the win

Sometimes I stay bloated for a week after my period... true story. I am certain if you are exercising and eating good, the belly will disappear. Either that or your belly is fine and you are being too hard on yourself!

Everyday for maximum results. Take a rest day if you need it.

Is your period coming? You also ate something, my belly looks like I'm preggo after I have had breakfast lol
