  • Are you still doing ClassPass? I'd be interested to hear your results. I'm doing it out in Denver and am loving the variety.

  • Ladies - I'm finishing Alpha next week and moving onto Beta. I travel 4 days a week for work and Alpha has been PERFECT for working out in my hotel room. However, glancing at Beta, it suggests weights or resistance band. Do you think resistance band will suffice? I really want to build upper body strength....but I can't…

  • Potassium helps with cramps too. Maybe a banana? I'm dealing with some serious DOMS here. I think I'm going to start doing the Stretch routine a couple of times a week. I did it Monday night and it really helped....

  • Ladies - I'm just starting Week 2. Looking back, the hardest section for me was actually the Ab Intervals?! I have really tight hamstrings and felt it was so difficult to keep your back flat (e.g. the Sitting V exercise). Tanya didn't modify much. Anyone else have a similar problem? Or a solution? Does it get better?

  • I started today too! Week 1, Day 1. That's an intense 25 minutes!

  • I hate running. I highly recommend walking at an incline (e.g. 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0). It is a calorie burner! Send me a message if you are interested and have questions....

  • Thanks everyone - this is great advice. (Also, for those of you were saying MFP overestimates calorie burn, I wholly agree - that's why I work with a heart rate monitor. Highly recommended.)

  • That 3 hour nap definitely happened! It was completely involuntary!

  • I just signed up for my local Crossfit Box's next On-ramp session. Very excited! How has your experience starting out been? (I'm going the way of the Heart Rate Monitor too . Seems like MFP way over-estimates calorie burn).

  • Be very careful with the heat! It can make it worse. I had 2 herniated discs in my lower spine as well. My physical therapy focused on stretching my hamstrings and hip flexors, and building my core muscles up to support this area. Good luck!

  • I have the same issues - work long hours and I often travel for work. My solutions mainly revolve around crazy levels of planning: On Sundays I go to the store and plan healthy groceries for the week. If I'm in town, this means cooking some meals and putting them in the freezer for dinners. If I'm out of town, this means…
