Your personal trainer is a professional and more knowledgable than anyone here, so ask them. You are always weaker before you get stronger. It's normal to feel "tired" while you are lifting weights. You are supposed to overload the muscle until it feels fatigued so that it can get stronger. If your trainer is making you do…

Find some ways to get rid of the stressful situations in your life, or find some better ways to cope with them. Manage your priorities better. Is it more important for you to work and make yourself ill with stress, or would it be better if you just quit and found something less stressful? The latter is obviously the right…

Oh my god, people like her are the reason why so many women suffer from eating disorders and body image problems. My first reaction would be to punch her in the face. After calming down, I would make her know that it is not alright to say those things to any person, and that she is being a rude sonofaB. I would set firm…

Same here, I prefer working out during late day or evenings, I don't live far away so I just walk or bike home to cool down after, and I am a bachellorette so I don't have to worry about smelling bad around my house LoL.

Do you have an eating disorder that makes you struggle with guilt over eating food?

What is your height?

This is accurate, but the problem is, for a female, an extremely low body fat is not reasonable. We have natural fat layers that are meant for pregnancy, whereas men don't. Getting ripped is reasonable for some men, not reasonable or healthy for women. It's really bad advice to reccommend a girl to starve herself IMHO.…

Are you seeing a personal trainer as well as a nutritionist? If so, your personal trainer should be telling you that you need rest days in order to build muscle. You need to build a plan that allows you to overload your muscle, then rest it so it can recover and build. If you work your muscles one day after another, they…

I just don't follow many rules, I've slowly developed a way of life that is healthy, and this way of life also includes gradual detoxing methods, such as naturpathic actions and I've learned to eat foods that don't bother my digestion, I remember to take things like probiotics all the time, I love participating in…

Yes, overloading your butt muscles will definitely work to make it bigger. It did for me :) But one thing I quickly realized is if you do a lot of butt exercises that also target the legs, both your butt and legs will get bigger at the same time so there won't be any noticable difference between the two. If you have a…

Yeah I second this information too. I heavy weight lift and actually have extremely low estrogen levels and higher testosterone levels due to Depo Provera but I have never bulked out like the incredible hulk. But lifting heavy has been an awesome way for me to build muscular curves. Before I was just a scrawny toothpick. I…

Well if all you want is a six pack, then what you really need to do is cut body fat and get ripped. You have your six pack muscle there, it's the body fat that is hiding it, so the only way to get rid of body fat is to do aerobic activities - mild to moderate exercise for a long amount of time, and also try to incorporate…

Your trainer sounds like he is getting his information from highly controversial diet fads on the Internet. The truth is this: Milk is extremely nutritionally dense, especially raw milk, and they actually prove that drinking milk that is high in fat is even better for you than low fat milk. There have been numerous of…

The gym really isn't the best place to socialize, but team sports, fitness classes, yoga, and healthy groups like running groups are a great way to meet and socialize with other healthy individuals. You'll probably have better luck chatting up people who are new at the gym and maybe even finding a gym partner that way, but…
