I'd recommend a day a week, even if you don't feel like you need one. You only get stronger when you incorporate rest in your schedule. It's called the stepladder effect. When you allow muscles full healing they rebuild a bit better than before . By alternating running and weights you are taking alternative days off…

Heart Rate is usually calculated as follows. The General Guideline is Maximum Heart Rate is 220 - your Age..in this case 60 therefore your maximum Heart Rate is approximately 160 You never want to get to that Number! Most training figures are calculated from that number ie Fat burning Zone (Aerobic) is about 65 % - 70 % of…

The best measurement is rthe way your clothes fit :-). We never see ourselves as we really are. The images we see are often worse than others see us lol. I have a favorite Cartoon tthat highlighted the difference in body image between guys and girls. A gal is looking in the mirror (she has a really nice shape) and what she…

You did not mention when your Marathon was! If you are doing a long run now and some faster paced short ones you can definitely substitute hikes for 2 workouts and use those days as active recovery days. I would not make them hard efforts so you will still be fresh for your faster paced run and your long run. I have done 9…

Very interesting subject. There are three different body types. Ectomorphs (small boned), Endomorphs (big boned), and Mesomorphs (broad and muscular). If you look at body mass indicators, there is a range for all three. In my case at 6'1" it ranges between 165 and 189.5. If I weighed in at the bottom of the scale I would…

Hi Erica, Coffee does not really count as Breakfast. More like a drink of H2O. Breakfast is probably a key meal in a weight loss plan since it Jump Starts your metabolism. Without it, the metabolic rate satys down and you burn less calories. With the coffee, why not have a fat free Yogurt.....or an Egg.....or some Oatmeal…

Once you get some momentum going, it almost takes on a life all it's own. You can do this. I will take a look at your Blog. My issue is I am an athlete living in my second…

Hi Sarah As a Pharmacist, I would not recommend any thermogenic aids. The best thermogenic thing you can do is increase protein intake while decreasing Carbs. You must drink a lot of water during this process 8 - 10 glasses a day. Be honest in your Calorie counts. One big meal never sabatoges a weight control program, but…

It's amazing how many foods are in the data base. Good luck with the program! This is my first attempt communicating with someone. I…
