I love to grill sea bream but its expensive. Just discovered that Herring is veryyyy good value.

Sounds like you are undereating, and if you've been doing this a long time, your metabolism has been supressed. If you cannot eat more with your totally 'clean' diet, then you might just have to 'dirty' your food up a bit. long term starvation is going to be a lot worse for your health than a tasty snack every so often.

Can you explain how if your treadmill is set at 3, you are technically at 2.5 ?

You could reduce the pressure on your lower back by reducing the weight on the machine... to maintain an effective workout, you can try pressing with only one leg. This takes a little longer to perform than high weight with both legs, but its what I normally do.

The higher your heart rate goes the less accurate a heart rate monitor would be... sad I know. I wouldnt worry about it too much, but on the other hand, maybe you should try to find the speed/effort at which your monitor doesnt climb past 70-75%. start walk, and go up in slight speed increments from your slowest jog, and…

If you are getting stronger , i.e. better performance each session, I think thats a good indication that your muscles are getting sufficient rest they need. It sounds like a conditioning issue. Your body just isnt used to the intensity of your workouts. Maybe try active recovery work on tuesday and thursday, sunday i.e. a…

I doubt that the magnitude of the retarding effect will be measurable if we are only talking about a fair paced jog for 10minutes.

I follow Jason Blaha's IceCreamFitness channel, according to him, smith machines should be avoided for squats as they are dangerous due to constraining barpath. Anyone got more info on this? might help the OP decide what she wants to do.

Whats the furthest you've jogged so far? Perhaps you should deemphasise the race in terms of your raceday performance, and just plan to finish the race regardless of time. Then it seems feasible you could keep a weight training focus, and run often. My focus is weight training (full body 3x a week). I run mostly 5-7k…

unilaterally ? with just one leg ?

[max at 900lbs no way to progess..] How heavy can you go on single leg press....

Free weights have benefits for athletes, i.e. the supporting muscle training etc. If you are training to stimulate the growth of your major muscles, for appearance, then I don't see why machines would be so inferior if we assume that your goals don't include maximum athletic performance and the avoidance of injury when…

Be a scientist and run your own experiment. Try lifting... If there happen to be 'side effects' you don't like that override the benefits, then you can know that and cut back easier than you already succeeded in trimming possible allergens from your diet.

Exercise is good for general health, the cardiovascular system etc. But its not required for weight loss. Creating a reasonable caloric defecit through diet alone achieves weight loss. Tell your friend she shouldn't obsess about the fitness side, or use it as an excuse not to adopt healthy eating habits. Good luck to her,…

Progressing in your strength is the best way to judge your progress. If you have equipment limits that mean the weight increments are high, so it stalls your progress, It would seem that if you can't incrementally increase intensity, then you might try increasing your total volume (more sets?), until you can make the next…

by toes people mean the ball of the foot. not tiptoes.

Fitness is not 1-dimensional. My routine is full body resistance training 3x a week, and running 3x a week, with the 7th day a rest day.

http://exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html Lets play a game, invent a person for whom 600 calories is a plausibly good intake for 'maintenance'... Here is mine : Female, 80Years old, 3feet tall, weighs 55pounds. doesnt nothing but sleep 24hours (coma?) But I only got to 687Kcal, can anyone do better?

Versaclimber, for crawling vertically. More challenging, better workout :-)

Indeed

>>Now I have the body I've always dreamed of but my confidence is destroyed. My first thought is maybe have a few sessions with a dating coach. It seems that you are substituting cigarretes and alcohol for what you might rather be doing.

Maybe try planks and unresisted crunches, and twists, till you strengthen up there, before you add the light weight...

Have you considered 1 day split ? lol I do full body routine 3 times a week, and calisthenics and cardio on inbetween days. I'm recovering fine and therefore its good musclebuilding 'uptime'.

Is there any pattern how often the DOMS sufferers checking in here train legs? I've had advice that frequency reduces DOMS. Perhaps spread your leg training over 3 days a week rather than 2, or heavens forbid 1.

lol at me. I just reread your post and you say you started 3 months ago, and you havent seen any noticeable scale change. It could simply be a sign to reassess you caloric needs, and experiment with lowering them slightly. It could be that you were just at maintenance this last 3 month. If you werent starving yourself this…

How long have you been 'stalled' for and how do you judge that? I'm just wondering if its the case that you may be losing weight but daily water fluctuations are making it hard for you to detect a longer term trend... I users hackers diet online toolset to mitigate that and to not lose faith when the weight goes back up…

If you are getting bigger/stronger then its working for you recovery-wise. If not , it isn't.

If you are repeating a movement continously for minutes at a time rather than a few seconds, its mostly your aerobic system and slower twitch muscles getting worked.

How about setting yourself new targets, only have them be strength/fitness targets this time around?
