May be I am trying to do the impossible that you are suggesting agains, i.e. gain muscle while losing fat. I know they are competing priorities for your body, thus, this questions to seek ideas. Some clarifications: My calorie intake more specifically stated is TDEE (including exercise cals burnt) is about 2800 and I…

30 minutes at a time.

It depends on your goal...in general though, you should always ramp up. If your goal is to build muscle endurance, the heavy lifting isn't necessary, higher reps are. If your goal is to build significant muscle mass, the heavy lifting is necessary. But, you must ramp up gradually, earning the right, if you will, to lift…

The science is rather finite in its possibilities, so its either fat or genetic lose skin. Either way, if you perform higher rep sets of upper back and lat exercises such as lat pull down or a sitting rows, you will start firming up the middle back and the lats, that should give your back some firmness and shape. Would it…

No its not. I lost 70 pounds doing my routine from 9-11PM every late evening for the past 7 months. Just make sure, if your goal is to lose weight, then have nothing more than a zero carb protein shake after exercise and if your goal is to also build muscle, then have one serving of complex carbs, e.g. oatmeal in addition…

I have detailed my entire process, including food choices, around the 70 pounds of weight I have lost while being a vegetarian and am now focused on building lean muscle mass. Feel free to read the details at my blog that can be found at:…

Leg raises or air cycle works best. I do the air cycle and planks. They do wonders. Good luck!

There are a ton of routines and guidance provided on bodybuilding.com. Specifically, I would recommend considering Lee Labrada's program. It is a moderate routine with anything too extreme, yet effective. The key is that you ought to lift enough weight to perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps each. If you can do more reps with your…

Yes, Fit Nutz from GNC. It is the same thing as PB2, just a different brand name.

Thanks again, fellow parents. Very helpful experiences.

Thank you fellow parents..a ton of very good practical advice and years of wisdom!! I greatly appreciate you sharing!!

Opened up the before and after picture on my profile for some time. I am proud, but never content, so moving along to my next steps.

Thank you all!!

Thank you. Hitting a plateau is the toughest part of this journey. Changing exercise type without changing the exercise category and 10% reduction in carbs stirs up the body's adaptation to what routine to which it go used to and it starts moving again. At least, it did in my case. All the best to you!!!

Thank you very much. Weight training is super important. Its not meant to become real bulky or anything, as some might perceive it to be. With muscle gain, however slight to massive it might be, your body's metabolism improves significantly and in sort of in an "after burner" mode for hours even after you get done lifting.…

Sometimes its an indication of being diabetic. You should get your self checked. If its not an issue, its just a matter of adding more cushion in your shoes and when working out just shift your feet position a little bit at times so they are not in exactly one point at all times.

It works really well. I have been using it 5 days a week for the past 3 months and have lost 48 pounds, of course in conjunction with a calorie deficit diet. Good luck!
