The trick is to get old like me. I would rarely get sore from lifting when I was younger. Now, if I lay off a muscle group for just a few days then I will be sore when I start back. I'm almost 71. So, hurry and get old as this geezer.

Glad to see you back and taking charge of your health.

Always.

I have been using the Skulpt Chisel now for a month. It has worked very nicely. I am an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer. My experience with the SC is that it seems to be about as consistent and as accurate as hydrostatic weighing and easier and better than skinfold calipers. I have no experience with a DEXA Scan. It is…

I've been using the Skulpt Chisel for about a month now. The device and app have been solid. But, I had a question and emailed Skulpt. And, like the posts above I have not heard back in several days now.

I have been using this for about a month. I am an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer. I have used skin fold for many years to find percent fat. I've personally had hydrostatic testing. I've found the Skulpt Chisel to be about as good as hydrostatic weighing and more accurate than skinfold testing. It is very easy to use and…

It could very well be that you are not fueling properly before and/or after your cardio. People often just don't have the energy for cardio during calorie restriction when dieting. Try taking in a complex carb and a little protein 30 minutes before your cardio. Cardio can increase metabolism for several hours after the…

There is a great book by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn named "Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease" about steps that can be taken to reverse heart disease through diet. I've attended Dr. Esselstyn's lecture and you and your husband can watch his presentation on Youtube. Just search for Caldwell Esselstyn. It would be time well spent.

Education. The more you learn about food the more fit you will become. Fitness usually means a good body too. Here are a few of my favorite books: Proteinaholic by Garth Davis M.D., Howard J, The China Study by Thomas Campbell (Author), T. Colin Campbell, Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy - Until You're 80 and…

Congratulations on starting your healthy lifestyle. If you have a smart phone maybe there is a medicine reminder app that you could set up to remind you to take some fluids. That would allow you to keep your mind on your diet and eating times and not worry about how much fluids your are or aren't taking in. I keep a 54oz…

I'm ready to help & I can use your help as well.

Heaviest: 262lbs. Lightest: 223lbs. (in recent months) Goal: 210lbs.

I think that you should have let him know before hand. But, unless he has a really good reason for her not to be there than he should relax and let it go. When I was not too much younger than I am now I would have reacted the same way. But, age has tought me to wait and see.

From what I read, you made some good choices. I have read that the best protein is whey protein isolate which I think is what you got. Also, I've read that CLA's have been linked to reduction in cancerous tumors. I take both daily.

I am anti gun abuse. I don't hunt or collect guns. But, lawful ownership of guns should continue. There is something foreign (not American like) about not allowing lawful citizens to enjoy there gun ownership for personal protection or even a hobby. The Aurora incident was not due to lax gun control. This is an incident…

My rock bottom was from arthritis in my right knee. I had no idea how it had effected me. I didn't want to be on my feet at all for any reason. I thought it was old age or just laziness. What got me off the bottom was total knee replacement surgery for the knee pain. When the pain was gone I got active again for the first…

Any exercise can cause a temporary weight gain. It is temporary as this really is water weight. When you exercise the muscle capilaries will expand to allow nutrients to reach the muscle fibers. The nutrients are carried by water. So, the muscles will fill with water. Bodbuilders use this effect just before a competition…
