If you're careful and you "follow the rules", you won't. I've been lifting weights for over a year now and never had any problem. I repost my PDF file if anyone wants to follow my first routine ever ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/187766964/workout-routine ) Also, Phaedra is right. Check out some videos of the exercises you've…

And remember : http://chronicclimberchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/muscle-vs-fat.jpg It's true! Quit weighting in every day. Inches do the difference, not lbs!

Because we're in a Food and Nutrition forum. That's what people do here. Talk about it.

Thank youuuuu! Feel free to ask anything you want (I hope I can help). I enjoy planning a workout routine from the top so much, that I love it when I have to reschedule mine. lol

Okay, in this link you'll find a PDF file with links to videos. I hope that comes handy and you enjoy it. I'll make one for a higher-level workout if you want one. http://www.scribd.com/doc/187766964/workout-routine

mamma_nee of course it does! :D Lifting everything and walking at any chance. Be careful and watch your lifts to avoid workout injuries. EHisCDN it's way more fun than gym cardio. I do love outdoors cardio though! beaches222 do you go to the gym or have dumbbells at home? I can get you a routine if you'd like.

Totally agree with you! +1!

Any nice parks around your home? Start walking. A couple of weeks later, walk faster and faster and faster... If you have some extra pounds, start eating a bit healthier and add some cardio to your lifestyle. After a while, you'll feel a lot better and you can start some weight training as well. Your stamina will be way…

I workout 4 times/week (lifting) and another 2 cardio only. I do abs and dorsal (lower back) in the end of every lifting workout. I do so, because I think it's one of the best ways to avoid posture problems and strengthen my core. Why would you want to spend a whole training day on abs? What do you expect your body to…

Cool thread! Nov. 28: 30 minutes, 3 miles on treadmill

Well, I understand that everyone needs something to hang on to, so that he can be... mentally healthy... That's gym to me, actually. It can be vodka, or Big Macs or Pizza Hut or Pop Tarts, or Dr.Pepper, or whatever, but don't expect to get there (…

Too much is bad for your health, so yes, too much healthy food could even kill you. Even drinking too much water is UNhealthy. Have you heart of dilutional hyponatremia? It's fatal and it's caused by drinking too much water. Everything is junk when you exaggerate!

Totally true! Most women trying to lose some pounds are reducing the calories' intake so much that are turning their body into starving mode. 1200kcal/day is the minimum amount someone should take (LCD). Now, calculate how many kcal you're losing through exercise and add some up!

Busted! Sauna doesn't help you lose weight. If you weight yourself after time spent in a sauna, you'll see a difference but that is only because of the water you've lost through sweat. You MUST drink that much to gain it back or you're going to be dehydrated. Saunas help detoxicate the body and help the circulatory system,…

Lactic acid causes bloating too and it is produced in muscles during exertion. You MUST NOT follow a heavy lifting program every day of the week. Muscles need time to recover... Muscles grow between workouts, but only if provided enough time and proper nutrition to generate growth. No one says you're not supposed to lift…

Don't worry! You'll find the time spent in gym delightfully needed. I'm not the "social" person around. I prefer wiring myself through my iphone and listening to my music the whole time. I find this time very calming. It's actually the only time of the day I can sit around on my own and I enjoy it so much. If you follow…
