College is definitely a tricky place to take care of yourself. Many temptations and limited time for being healthy. The one thing I can recommend for you is that exercise will help you decrease stress and it actually helps you study better. When I was an undergrad anytime I had a big test I would go for a run and then come…

Insanity, as presented in the videos, is intended for a pretty fit audience. However, it also allows for you to do it at your own pace. First of all, I know how hard insanity is! It's called insanity for a reason! But you can adjust your workout so that you aren't "dying" by going at a slower pace (don't compare yourself…

Mizuno and Brooks both have online shoe advisors that you can input your information online and they give you some ideas of shoes to try (google mizuno shoe finder and brooks shoe advisor). Even if you were to go into a running store and have them assess your feet, there would still be some trial and error involved with…

Although appearance is a lot when it comes to PT, your story is reflective of the journey that a lot of people are taking. You could potentially be some major inspiration for someone who is trying to lose weight as well. I think there are people out there who would judge, assuming that you're not "fit" to do the job, but…

I tried p90x but couldn't stick to it. I don't see the need to spend an entire day doing different bicep curls; I'm not that interested in them. The videos are pretty lame. However for awhile I was taking my workout sheets to the gym with me and just doing the workouts there rather than dealing with the videos. I will say…

I'm not familiar with the C25K program, but it sounds like a bit of overuse. Your ankle muscles can work overtime as well depending on a number of issues including the surface you are working out on (grass vs trail vs paved paths for running for example) and the tightness of other muscles in your legs. Make sure that you…

The chest straps are not bad at all; especially for us women who are used to having a strap around that area. Mine blends in with my sports bra and I don't even notice it. I've worn it all day numerous times without any problems. I currently have a polar ft7 that I purchased off of Amazon. It's pretty basic but it doesn't…

I have never had to experience PF, but I am an athletic trainer and have dealt with the issue many time with my athletes. In my opinion I wouldn't say it's something that you can "run through" implying that if you just keep going it will go away. While this might be true in the case of breaking in a new pair of shoes,…

I agree with the other post. Your money would be better spent on equipment. If you are interested in the beachbody programs (which many use body weight exercises) I suggest looking into BodyRockTV; it's free (last I checked) and on the web. Or simply look up the routines and youtube them to see if you can find anything…
