  • before you bike in the morning pick 1 or 2 exercises so you are not overwhelmed. one day 3 sets of squats, another day pushups, bicep tricep and shoulders, that way you're only spending 10 more minutes but getting some extra in.( if you feel you can, increase to 15 minutes of weight bearing per day). keep at it. and maybe…
  • I really thought this myth was dispelled a long time ago. There's nothing to wait for! lift weights (learn correct form), do cardio,try yoga. a well rounded routine. Go For It!
  • I average AT LEAST .8 X my body weight in protein. I do cardio and weight training. because I TEACH fitness classes they may be multiple times a day -or evening. You will not bulk up in a calorie deficit but you will maintain and increase your lean muscle mass.( which should raise our metabolism and burn more calories). i…
  • i have 4 children, and they were all under the age of 5 at one time. Can can workout at home and make it count. #1. do push-ups #2. squats. no equipment necessary. "Insanity style" moves need no equipment. the internet has TONS of videos. they may not be very long but will give you ideas and usually proper form. one thing…
  • I LOVE Dymatize brand ELITE. this is whey protein- fast acting.1 scoop is 115 calories and 20 grams of protein. mixes great in water. i buy the vanilla so i can add it to my oatmeal in the morning too. i use it as recovery after exercise and add an Emergen-C packet (any flavor) to make it like a smoothie. before bed i take…
  • be specific. is it sugar?...is it chocolate? "esmithy" is correct. you will go through some withdrawals. 5 or 6 dates are very sweet, but low calories and high fiber. I will sit with a cup of hot tea with my dates and make it last longer. fruit and berries are good choices too. If you are craving chocolate, i buy…
  • Tai bo and kick boxing are great cardio and toning workouts to do at home. If you're new to this type of exercise, pay attention to form and then increase your intensity. Use your entire body, core included, to punch and kick-not just arms and legs. Good luck!
  • i love the stability ball but to say crunches are bad? no, but you got to do them right and incorporate other core exercises as well.
  • The last 10 are the hardest! you do look more toned. How do you feel in your clothes? that's how i stay on track.try to add a little more cardio/ strength training and the cleanest eating you can for 1 week. short term goals can seem less daunting. PS change your workout. if you treadmill all the time, do the eliptical or…
  • CONGRATS SO FAR! cardio is great (jump rope , or tae bo if you can't leave the house), but not enough. weights or resistance bands can be done at home. the other suggestions are good. the local library usually workout videos too. that's what i did when my kids were little. i also purchased an "urban rebounder" (or an off…

  • if you workout and burn 300 calories, and MFP says you get to eat that much extra, it maybe wrong. Use the deficit... get extra protein even though it might say you've had enough. I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor. i am trying this app to see if i should recommend it to clients and friends. Once you hit your…
