Personally, it doesn't affect me at all no matter how late I workout. Just depends on the person. Never know until you try it and see if it's problematic.

Ramadan Mubarak! I think it's okay as long as you're not doing the workout prior to breaking your fast. It really depends on your body and how you feel so see how the first week goes and go from there. I did insanity during fast month last year and pretty much did the same as you. Stay hydrated! Eat some sort of protein…

That is a very high number. Are you using the chest strap while working out?

To others: OP is looking to strengthen the muscles not spot reduce. To OP: try planks, dynamic planks, flutter kicks w/ hands under your butt for support, standing ab work. Speak with a physician before performing any exercises since you have a back injury. But strengthening your core will help with your back. Hope you get…

HIIT workout i.e., zwow, zcut, tabata training, running with sprints thrown in there. Create a sandbag where you can have heavier weights for cheap and add them to your body weight exercises. Doing some heavy lifting might be what you need.

Steam, exercise, concoction of water+lemon juice+cayenne pepper we use this in my family and it works really well especially if you have a sore throat as well. Definitely rest your body and let nature take its course.

1. You should feel it in your chest. 2. Why are you keeping your grip wider than shoulder width? 3. Bar should touch the chest. 4. Increase weight when you feel your current one is too light. If you can do 12+reps with your weight, it's too light.

--I agree wholeheartedly with this post but.... People don't want to hear this though. It's much easier to believe going on a fad diet will get them the body they've always wanted.

Wow! You look amazing!! Congratulations on your weight loss.

Done!

I'm in.

Are the shoes too small or tied too tightly? Do your other sneakers do the same thing when working out? Get fitted properly for shoes that will support your activities or try getting a half a size bigger if needed. The shoes may not fit properly.

What she said. Add in deadlifts, lunges, split squats, jump squats, jump lunges, bridges, squats with lateral leg raise,side lunge, half squats, step-ups, box jumps, prisoner squats for variety. Try to target all sides of the glute and add weight for resistance. Eventually lift heavy to really see results.

Lift first so all your energy is used for it. Doing cardio after doesn't seem to affect anything but if you do it before, you won't have much energy when lifting. It also depends what and how much you're lifting and what your goals are.

Tuna, nuts of all kinds, oats, bread, PB, fruits that won't go bad quickly. If you can bring meals from home do it if a fridge is available to you.

A heart rate monitor is best to give you accurate caloric burn. MFP tends to over-exaggerate.

Done! Really love these challenges.

In and done!

Depends how much you're challenging yourself in the class. Are you increasing the weights with each class? If you feel you're not getting enough strength training, get on the free weights and try out some of the moves from class.

Seeing as how your symptoms are progressing from high (stuffy nose and sore throat) to a lower system(cough-respiratory system), I'd take it easy on your body so you can fully recover. Generally as your symptoms progress to lower systems, it gets worse and the duration is longer. Try to take it easy and drink plenty of…

Is anyone doing the Power Strength series? How do you like it?

Hi, I would definitely go with the Fitbit estimate. I do zumba and burn around 400-500+ calories for a 50 minute workout according to my Polar monitor. MFP tends to overestimate quite a bit.
