I think you should do that routine everyday right in front of me (or at least video it) so I can watch! It will be an official study, you can write a paper about it and get some credits. See, I am so much more than a pretty face!

From Michigan originally...now living in Hawaii! So not missing the weather! BTW...GO BLUE BABY!!! #1 in the nation in Mens B-Ball (and Men's Swimming and Diving)!!!

^^^totally...a bit sharp tongue. She has often made me bleed with her words...

As a Soldier who has been in for a long time, my knees are shot! I can't run. All I have is the elliptical and stationary bike. And yes "girlinahat", I do weight train my *kitten* off. Let me tell you, you can achieve a great workout on either of them. Gunsentry suggests you do steady state cardio. Getting on a bike or…

^^^^^ Responding to the above statement^^^ The lactate threshold (LT) (or lactate inflection point (LIP) or aerobic threshold (AeT)) is the exercise intensity at which lactate (more specifically, lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the blood stream. The reason for the acidification of the blood at high exercise…

Here you go, take your pick! LOL! The easiest and best known method to calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR) is to use the formula MHR = 220 - Age Dr. Martha Gulati et al Research conducted by Gulati et al. (2010)[3] identified that the traditional male-based calculation (220-age) overestimates the maximum heart rate for…

It is equally important to have a recovery day. I workout with weights 5 days per week. I incorporate HIIT cardio at least 4 days. Since I am in the military, I am required to do morning PT 4 days per week.Saturday is my non gym cardio and I typically go hiking or playing in the ocean. Sundays are my recovery day...I do…

purchase a HRM...very important if you actually want to accurately track calories burned! I have a Polar FT4 and love it...

Okay here are just a few... Eminem - Til I collaspe Not Afraid Bagpipes from Baghdad Alice in Chains - Rooster Buckcherry - Crazy ***** Ginuwine - Pony Havana Brown ft. Pitbull - We Run the Night Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love (the ONLY song I like of his) MGK ft. Waka Flocka Flame - Wild Boy Pink - Raise Your Glass Blow Me…

I most certainly don't count it! It is a reward for busting my *kitten* in the gym! Did I read somewhere, 30 mins? Really? 30 minutes, why even bother!

Keep in mind, muscle soreness is likely caused by the micro tears in the muscle fibers as well as a build up of lactic acid. There is some suggestion that stretching and Glutamine supplements directly after exercise will help alleviate this issue. Sadly, there are also studies that say Glutamine does not help ward off post…

That is a very vague question...not able to answer without more information. I am apparently a minority on MFP...I don't understand for the life of me why you would eat back your workout calories. Generally speaking losing weight consists of burning more calories than you consume. You do have to make sure you are eating…

Nope sorry...once you hit 40 it is over! Hell, look at me, I used to be HELLA HOT. The night before I turned 40 I was "the bees knees", went to bed and woke up the next day and looked like Jabba the Hut and The Hunchback of Notre Dame procreated! Now I just travel around with a freak show circus and hope I can get the…

People don't lose weight for the same reason we keep significant others around who mistreat us. Now I am NOT saying your boyfriend is mistreating you, what I am saying is that we tend to keep a hold of things that are familiar. It is much easier to be overweight and unhealthy than it is to be fit. It is also easier to make…

You have to want to get up at whatever time and go to the gym. We will find a million reasons NOT to go running, biking, lifting weights, etc. The hard part is finding the ONE reason we decide to do those things everyday. If you really want to do this, you will make the time for yourself, because no one else will care…

I happen to LOVE to throw the iron around, so naturally, I go do that at a gym. I also understand the need for cardio. Well, I hate cardio in the traditional form. Do I go and put the miles on the stationary bike (knees are shot, can't run)? Of course, but I also do cardio that I love to do...hiking in all of the beautiful…

Just starting out and looking for a beginner workout? Well everyone has given great advice, but without knowing your goals, workout availability, etc. it is hard to say. I would go on any one of the sites listed below (or there is about a zillion others) and find what fits your schedule and goals the best and just do it…

The fitness lifestyle is so much more enjoyable with friends...add me if you want!

Iron! Lots and lots of iron! I most any form while at the gym! Unfortunately, I also have to use (on occasion) those damn cardio machines!

I am starting round two of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution!

LIFT WEIGHTS!!!! Nothing (besides sex) makes you feel better!!!!

Not working out unfortunately...all of the gyms on base are closed. Probably go for a bike ride later today!

Hmmm... 1. Christmas tree??? 2. Kimber 1911 - 3. Size 11 shoe to their face! 4. Finally, a crap ton of awesomeness!!

NOT AT ALL! I lift in wrestling shoes, which is basically barefoot and my form is spot on. I won't up the weight if my form suffers.

That is how the gym on base is here...if you say something, esp. to a local dude, you are liable to get in a scuffle. I just shake my head and do my thing. Bad form makes me cry inside...esp. when they are using way more weight than they should be!

Salt on watermelon is AMAZING!!!!

I totally cut off ALL fat from my meat! Fat makes me throw up in my mouth! I also only buy either Fillet or Flank steak!

If the conversations are frequently similar to the one between you and Rayman...*kitten*, I'm in! Ya'll speaking my language!

Right....i an working on adding some size, so 1200 wouldn't work for me either...

^^^^This is some of the best advice i have EVER read on this site. It is informative, well explained and accurate!!!
