  • I recently got into bodyweight training. At first, I was really confused/overwhelmed by the plethora of exercises out there on sites like fitsugar, nerdfitness, etc., until I stumbled upon Mark Laurens' "You Are Your Own Gym" and "Body by You" books. I'm just starting out on it, but what I like about his books is that it…

  • For the classic 60 minute workout, I just log it under "Pilates"...it's not perfectly accurate without a heart rate monitor, and I trim 10-15 minutes off the duration. ex - if the video I'm doing is 60 minutes long, I log about 45 or 50 minutes of it. @ottersandseal - It's more of a strength/resistance style workout using…

  • To answer your questions, because I'm not sure anyone has... MHB says in the video that the workout is designed to be really portable. I use a yoga mat because I already have one, but if you didn't, just putting a beach towel down on carpeted floor is fine (hardwood floor - definitely get a mat, plus mats are a pretty good…

To be fair, she does do variations on a theme after reading the blog a while (i.e., figuring out a greek yogurt cheesecake...then varying it up into pumpkin, chocolate, etc.). But great place to start and get inspiration on alternatives to traditional white flour, butter, and egg…

  • I looked this up earlier this week and found the 25% rule below, which is pretty close to the 70% (inverse 30%) rule quoted. Different sites use shoulder vs. bust measurements; for me, the result is the exact same thing, but it might create a different result for someone else! Also, "waist" in the section below is defined…

  • Yep! (Been a while since the last post, but was browsing the forums randomly and came across this.) I just started the classic 60 minute workout a couple of weeks ago for the first time, and every time I do it, IT BURNS SO MUCH. I don't do it 3 times a week (more like 1x or 2x) like she suggests you do it in the video,…
