  • I usually rest about a minute between sets. Some people take two. It just depends on how much recovery time you need between sets to feel comfortable going on to the next one. Some people do what's called "active rest" and jog in place for a minute or two to keep their heart rates up. Again, it's whatever works for you.…

  • "Lifting heavy" is a relative term. I have a set of 15# dumbbells at home that are heavy for me, but a cake walk for the hubby. You should lift enough that it's challenging, but not so much that it's uncomfortable or too difficult to complete a set. I would start doing 10-12 reps at a moderate weight; whatever you can…

  • My mom has had it. She lost a lot of weight, but then started gaining it back when she got comfortable and started to eat whatever she wanted. She also began drinking alcohol again. She had to have her pouch resized because she stretched it out so much that it started tearing. Moral of the story: GB is a great tool, but,…

I deviate a little from her suggested moves, but yesterday I did chest press and decline chest press, shoulder press, lateral arm raises, pec…

  • I use a little on a sandwich in place of mayo. The idea is that it is a healthy fat source. Like you and the others said, a little goes a long way. I wouldn't do like the folks on the subway commercials.

  • I have a 1 year-old, and I'm new here. Well, not new. I've been using the app for about 3 weeks, now, but I'm new to the site. I just got released from my orthopedic surgeon after recovering from a knee injury/surgery for the last 8 months. I'm anxious to get started with getting rid of this baby weight! Nice to meet…
