Some researchers at Arizona State University published a research report to help translate steps taken into lifestyle classification: "Based on currently available evidence, we propose the following preliminary indices be used to classify pedometer-determined physical activity in healthy adults: (i). <5000 steps/day may be…

Try adding Greek yogurt, cream cheese or egg whites to your carb dishes. For example: - add Greek yogurt to your oatmeal - replace mayo in sandwiches with cream cheese and/or yogurt - stir egg whites into your mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower or rice dish (& recook to set) - melt cream cheese over your broccoli and…

"It must be nice to be single and have time to workout. I used to look like that when I was single. Now, I'd rather my spend time with my kids." - Anonymous dad, sitting in a lawn chair drinking beer, while he watches my boyfriend run up and down the field helping the soccer coach do sprinting drills with this guy's kid.…

I use my favorite salad dressings and then just cut them by mixing half and half with lower cal liquid to reduce the calories. Depending on the dressing flavor, I cut with balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, milk/plain yogurt, orange/cranberry/lemon juice, and/or mustard. I measure and mix up a batch for the week and…

fanny packs? haven't seen those in States at least 10-20 years. I thought only Germans wore them anymore.

^THIS! Junior sizes (odd sizes) are cut for teenagers who have not yet developed the wider hips of a woman. Flat butt, thigh gap and straight-waisted women often turn to juniors to find clothes with LESS of a waist. Misses sizes (regular even sizes) are cut wider in the hip/butt and narrower in the waist. Personally, I…

Lyle McDonald talks about something similar. Does this sound like what you are experiencing? http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html But as the folks above said, if it feels like something is not right, you might want your doctor to check it out.

[/quote][/quote] Ah, okay. I didn't realize there were different methods of using glycogen depletion. I've only been lifting weights for eighteen months, so I'm still too much of a noob for your more advanced recommendations in that area. Thanks for taking the time to respond and clarify. With the avalanche of fitness…

Assuming you are 5'4" (about average) and lead a sedentary life, you burn about 1985 base calories a day. That assumes that other than the 3 hours of exercise, you spend the rest of your time laying on the couch watching TV or sitting at a desk job. This number from the calculator at www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/BMR 1985…

Can you explain a bit about this? Doesn't glycogen depletion mean "bonking". I thought that was a bad thing? I primarily use swimming and run-walk intervals for my cardio. I have a tendency to blood pressure regulation issues when exercising (vasovagal sycope). In swimming, I can keep up a high level of exertion because it…

take your favorite recipe: replace the butter/oil with a puréed avocado replace half the milk with applesauce (and/or banana, pineapple, other fruit - but those you will taste in the final cake) replace the other half of the milk with skim milk reduce the sugar by 2/3 (or replace with sweetener) it will be plenty sweet…

Yes, because when I log exercise, I log my very best guess as to the number of calories burned. I don't sandbag and put a high number of minutes in just to make myself feel better. - I don't log a walk at 4 mph because MapMyRun/Endomondo/Nike Plus said so -- I can see the line on the apps map was wiggly and I walked in…

Perhaps a Vegas trip is in order for that week. You could go out partying meet a dude that night and still get married on 11/12/13. No advance notice necessary. Voila! Problem solved!

coffee also inhibits iron absorption but vitamin C and alcohol increase it. might need to replace your morning coffee with a mimosa. Pop Tarts + Mimosa = The Breakfast of Champions.

I wanted to come back to this topic to say an extra thank you to everyone that gave me suggestions. It's been about 6 weeks and I can already begin to see a difference from implementing some of these changes. The things I've changed are: - increased back exercises (especially lower back) - added some shoulder isolation…

syncope = fancy word for fainting vasovagal = caused by drop in blood pressure it's pretty common and most of the time not really dangerous - just more annoying. this doc may be the most boring dude on the planet, but he explains it rather clearly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMNs9A5ADx8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

your symptoms sound like possible vasovagal syncope. Before I had mine controlled, I would sometimes faint after eating a large meal. doctor explained it was because digestion diverts some blood supply away from the rest of the circulatory system -- exacerbating the symptoms. I still get it if i go from floor exercises to…

I realize that something else I do is to suds my chlorine removal shampoo all over by body. Or, you could try a chlorine removal soap like this: http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Solutions-Soap-Bar/dp/B00021VCVS

lotion. definitely lotion.

I'm currently on a 5 smaller meals schedule. I have trouble with nighttime eating so I've been eating a rather late dinner and saving sufficient calories for post dinner eating. I tend to eat early in the day only due to convention because one is "supposed" to eat a good breakfast, etc. I recently did a fasting exercise…

Mango!

that bottom blue bikini really is cute on you. it emphasizes your narrow waist so i think it is the most flattering. Of course, as others have said, a bathing suit takes very little room in the suitcase so you can easily throw both in your bag.

you may have a tough sell because: Zumba class = 10-20 satisfied gym members PT = 1 satisfied gym member Is the court the class was using a basketball court or racquetball court that is now being used by other gym patrons since she freed it up? or is it an empty class room? once again, if that allows more gym patrons to be…

I have Bose IE2 ear phones. They were expensive ($99 at Best Buy) but were one of the best purchases I've made. Before that, I'd gone through a couple pairs of the Apple ones. The Apple earphones were uncomfortable, had bad sound quality, fell out of my ears all the time, and the wires quickly broke. I've had the Bose…

I love that alternate calculator @fishgutzy. Thanks for sharing!

^this! when I got my food scale, I discovered I was getting about 15% less protein and 15% more carbs than I thought. Small amounts like tablespoons are easier to do on the scale. To make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I stick the entire plate with bread on the scale and then zero it out. I scoop the peanut butter…
