Keep it simple. Get a bench, some dumbells (http://www.powerblock.com/), ketltebells a padded mat for floor exercises, Perhaps some bands and a jump rope. If you have room and budget, a barbell set and squat rack is very nice, then a pulldown machine. The powerblock dumbells are fantastic because the are all the weight you…

Try using them every other day, like 3 days per week and the other 2 days do some other resistance work like traditional weights oar body weight exercises. Check out Pavel's book, "Enter the Kettlebell.' It teaches the Turkish get up, swings, clean and press & snatch. The workouts are good and intense. I do like the idea…

This is an awesome exercise. I'm glad I'm not the only person with appreciation for full body functional exercises. What is a good routine? I usually try for 2 - 3 sets of 2 -3 reps per side. That is challenging. What is 42 reps like.

Hi. Good luck. Feel free to add me. I've been on a bit of a roller coaster lately. I've lost and gained the same 2 lbs. about 5 times.

Two 30 minute work outs per day. Circuit training or Kettelbell training fore one workout (Swings, Clean & presses & snatches.) Both combine lightish weights with higher reps and little rest resulting in resistence & cardio work at the same time. And a brisk walk for the other 30 minutes. Spread apart it will keep your…

Thanks for the encouragement. I can appreciate your passion and anger. The concept of caloric defecit is easy and should not be this hard to execute. I just need to accept that I have to plan the meals first. (I hate planning meals.) I also need ot embrace food as fuel, not celebration, hobby, encouragement, anger,…

Hi, Try some basic body weight movements like, squats, push ups (some variety even if it is against a wall), lunges, and walking in circles or figure eights while lifting your arms above your head. Or even walking. If you string these movements together with little or no rest, it will be a circuit and will keep rais your…
