I train in a teeny-tiny space- lots of push=ups, crunches, planks (and side planks), yoga, sit-ups, burpees, mountain climbers, lunges (and jumping lunges), side step ups (onto a kitchen chair), etc... and if you can get your hands on a kettlebell or some dumbbells then you can do snatch, curls (bicep and tricep), shoulder…

by lifting weights and starting up a protein diet that will help a lot. I lift heavy 2 days a week and lighter weights 3 days a week. I do abs almost everyday- whether it's hanging knee raises, plank, side plank press, or sit-ups on on incline- I work them all the time. I also work every muscle group when I workout, but go…

Can you trim the number at all? Some races specify that you have to leave the bib full size, but other races don't care if you cut it down so it's just the number. If you can modify the bib, cut it down and pin it across the chest... if not then you'll just have to pin it full size to your chest...

I usually pin it to the lower part on the back of my sports bra... that way people can catch my number when I pass them! Good luck in your race- you'll do awesome!

another 4.8miles ran today to go pick up my car from the window tinting place... hope everyone is having a great day!

ran another 3 miles earlier and then walked home 2.25 miles from dinner. ticker is updated!

Don't focus on the little things that go wrong- you'll be the only one that notices. Have fun, and enjoy. Also, don't drink too much because you're going to want to enjoy the night!

Added another 4 miles this morning with a client, and I'll be getting another hour in on the treadmill this afternoon with a friend (miles TBD). Ticker is up to date. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

another 6 miles of running... had to take a couple days off due to an old neck injury flaring up. Hope everyone has a happy, healthy weekend!

that's pretty similar to one of the workouts I do 3x/ week on my own. I skip the walking forward though and run, but I do the backward walk in there! I like it- good for you!

another 4 miles for me this morning. Happy hump day everyone!

ran another 4.5 tonight while I waited for my husband to get off work... I'll be logging lots of miles the next 10 days while my 3 year old is off visiting grandparents- giving me more time to exercise. Getting geared up for a sprint triathlon in May followed by the Army Birthday 10-miler 5 days later. Can't wait! Keep…

I'd love to be a donor, but I lived in England and Germany for long periods of time and am "at risk" for CJD (aka Mad Cow). I would also love to donate a spare kidney I happen to have lying around (I literally have 3, fully functioning kidneys) but again can't donate because I lived in Europe after 1980 and before 1996.

4.5 mile jog so far today... about to walk to the library with my 3 year old... then possibly running again this evening with my friend. Everyone is doing an awesome job moving their *kitten*- KEEP IT UP!

ran 4.5 tonight next week is a big running week for me :tongue:

I'm in... a bit late, but I'm training for a race in June- so it's easier to keep track here! Did 7miles last night of interval training.

You should get a metabolic blood panel done. I recently got one because I was having dizzy spells constantly and they found I have a severe vitamin D deficiency (which can cause dizziness, muscle weakness, tiredness, etc). If it's not a vit D deficiency, you may be missing other vital nutrients/ vitamins that your body…

Low carb, high protein diet; cardio; and lots of core stabilizers (i.e. plank pose; side plank press). I work abs almost everyday, I've had a baby, and now I have a six-pack.

NO! Fruit has enough sugar on it's own that you definitely don't need to add to it!

1.) A 64oz water bottle... and tell them to drink at least that much everyday! 2.) Good shoes 3.) Good workout clothes 4.) An iTunes gift card so they can download some tunes to motivate them 5.) A card with an inspirational quote (ie "nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels")

Depends on the your body composition... I've always had an athletic build and then I dropped weight really quick, I went from a C cup to a AA- but even with a small chest, they're proportionate to my body. I don't mind representing for the Itty Bitty Titty Committee!

If you're stationed at Fort Bragg, I'm a personal trainer here while my husband is stationed at Bragg... I train quite of few chubby Army wives out here!

I started playing sports at 3 (skiing) and competitive sports at 4 (soccer and rock climbing). My 3 year old plays for a soccer club (so not rec league) and it is great for him! I say do it!

You should find a store that has a Brooks specialist because they can fit you with a great pair of shoes based upon your stride!

climbing is where it's at. I was a climbing instructor for a couple of years and I started climbing when I was 4, my dad couldn't keep me off the cliffs. I definitely need to start wearing an HRM to see how many calories I actually burn while I'm out though!

I have some stretch marks from when I was pregnant, but I still rock a bikini! You can tan them out a little bit before your trip- then they're not as noticeable.

Army wife here- he's not currently deployed but is scheduled to leave again March 2012.

Jillian's "oblique twist" is also called a plank twist.

It's called an oblique twist.
