  • My advice is to avoid the haters and the negative comments – just ignore them too. People will argue against things they do not understand. From what I have read the keto lifestyle is very beneficial, although hard for some to understand if they have not read the books and seen the research and science behind it.

  • I've just started on this Keto diet a couple days ago. After reading some of your comments, I'm a little concerned how I'm going to handle my job, which is teaching 7 group fitness classes a week, all of which are 1 hour long (6 Zumba and 1 BodyWorks). I work hard on my muscle tone so I'm a little anxious about losing…
    in Keto and Working out... Comment by wrenbird April 2015
  • I am on Day 2. Yesterday was hard. I absolutely hated the lunch smoothie. I will not try to force that down again. It has way too much in it. Today I am going to eat the celery, apple, and cucumber by themselves. I can eat the celery with almond butter, which is in smoothie #1 so it must be okay. The cucumber's going down…
    in Dr Oz 3 Day Cleanse...anyone done this? Comment by wrenbird March 2013
  • 5'3" 110 lbs. I feel best at 105. that's when my ab muscles start to show. Hopefully I'll get back to that before swimsuit season. More Zumba! I'm up to teaching 6 classes a week now so that ought to help.

  • The only way to really tell how many calories you will burn would be to wear a HRM. It also depends a lot on your own weight and fitness. I would say an average of 250-300 calories would be close enough. The important thing to remember about doing strength training is that having more muscles in your body means you will…

  • Got this from fitnessmagazine.com Dump Your Diet Soda Addiction Think you aren't addicted? Think again. When French researchers hooked rats on cocaine and then gave the critters a choice between a cocaine fix or a nibble of saccharine (a popular diet drink sweetener), most went for the saccharine. And the drug of choice…
    in Kicking the soda habit? Comment by wrenbird January 2013
  • Sodas are one of the worst nutrition habits we can have. You can break away! I did. I used to drink Cokes all the time. Way too much sugar and calories that are doing you no good - doing you harm actually. Now I drink Vitamin Water Zero, sweetened naturally with Stevia. If you need some caffeine, try the Starbucks…

  • I would recommend this set of 3 DVDs from Zumba. It is Zumba Gold and it is so fun! I teach this format twice a week and anyone any age can do it. http://www.zumba.com/en-US/shop-zin/product/zumba-gold-live-it-up-3dvd-set/
    in Senior looking for aerobic DVD's Comment by wrenbird December 2012
  • Thanks for this link. This was just what I was looking for. Some scientific results of whether Chitosan is worth anything. Doesn't sound like it. Oh, well. I knew it was too good to be true. As most fat-burning products are. I'll stick to my Zumba and chicken breast.
    in Chitosan? Comment by wrenbird May 2012
  • You got me? I'm more confused now than ever. I've been such a fan of Dr. Oz. He seems to have such good intentions and know what he is talking about. But he is always promoting products. Makes me wonder if he's just in it for the money, even though he says he's not and that he doesn't make any money from the products he…
    in Chitosan? Comment by wrenbird May 2012
  • Here's a bit more I found: Chitosan is made from the crustacean shells that are grounded into powder form. It is similar to cellulose, a plant fiber. It binds to fats and lipids, and blocks the absorption of fat by the body. The chitosan bound fat does not enter the bloodstream and is excreted in the stool. Hence, this…

  • yes. I have two polar chest straps and they both work with the same watch.

  • I do LOVE my greek yogurt. I eat it 3-4 times a week. My latest reward food is Ben n Jerry's frozen greek yogurt. Oh my! The banana peanut butter one is amazing! Yesterday I bought the blueberry vanilla and the raspberry chocolate. It's a little high in sugar, so I eat it in moderation. 1/2 cup at a time.

  • I totally agree. Those need to be on the playboy channel or something. I'm always so uncomfortable when my kids are watching.

  • I'd like to know if anyone has a heart rate monitor that you can hook up to your computer and upload data.
