As to wondering what kind of workout... Try reading something like this (See if your local library can get it for you) https://www.stephaniebuttermore.com/womens-specialization-program Or wander over to Fitocracy.com, register, and then look at some of their groups (Curvy Girls & Pinups, For Women Only, Lady lifters, Fit…

BMI is pointless. It is basically saying you weigh X per inch. The formula is ..... 703 x weight (lbs) / [height (in)]^2 or .... weight (kg) / [height (meters)]^2 2 people standing next to each other. Both are 5'8", both weigh 142bs, both are same gender, both have a BMI of 21.6 (Which is normal). One has 14% body fat, the…

Bodybuilders bulk up in the off season, adding a bunch of fat on, but also a bunch of muscle. Then they spend 6-10 weeks dieting to lose all the fat, while trying to keep the muscle. Friend of mine is 2 weeks out from his first contest of the year, and really sick of a steady diet of chicken breast and white rice, but the…

Eat like a normal person and GOMAD (Gallon of milk a day) 1 gal of whole milk is ~2300 cals, 128g protein (512cals), 180g carbs (720cals), 128g fat (1152cals). Basically, replace whatever you are currently drinking with milk. If you want to drink less milk, drink chocolate milk, which will up carbs and fat intake. If you…

Try something like: Still have 20+lbs to lose: Aim for 1lb/week (-500cals/day) Have between 15-20lbs: Aim for 0.75lb/week (-375/day) Have between 10-15lbs: Aim for 0.5lb/week (-250/day) Have between 5-10lbs: Aim for 0.25lb/week (-125/day) Have between 0-5lbs: Aim for maintenance Adjust your calorie intake every time you…

Personal opinion: Go out and do the test. Then judge it. Here is the details on what you need to do. they even tell you how to train for each part, and how it relates to being in the Army. https://www.army.mil/acft/ If you are scoring 90+ on every category, and feeling like you aren't really in shape, then maybe it needs…

https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/07/09/a-new-army-pt-test-is-on-its-way-this-is-not-a-drill/ "The new test’s work-to-rest ratio is also three times that of the APFT, which was generally broken up in a sit-ups and push-ups portion and a long break before the run. Now, there will be a continuously running clock…

The happy insanity way to avoid the change: Figure out maintenance for your ideal goal weight. Eat that. Stay at that. This trains you how to stay at your goal weight.

Not sure who you are listening to. Seems to me I hear a lot of folks getting an award, or winning a game, or rescuing a person, is thanking God for [fill in the blank].

Is there life before birth? Where do we come from? Why did we leave there? ************** becomes ************** Is there life after death? Where are we going? Why are we going there? Why the focus on the future, and none on the past?

Using the backwards way we show dates it is. My preference is date/time being written as 2018-03-14 (15:55:12) ---- [55:12 is 0.92 hrs]

If you want to mix it up a bit, do something like opening a book/newspaper/magazine and picking a random word, or pick a number between 1-10, and then find a news article and do the word at that position, or randomly type with 1 finger of your off hand some number of letters on your keyboard with your eyes closed, or…

In my younger years a girlfriend asked how I was so skinny, as I ate a ton, drink a gallon of soda a day, and was still thin. Her estimate was I was eating 3k-5k cals each day. I was between 130-140 lbs at 5'9". I was working as a grass cutter, rode my bicycle all the time, did lots of very physical hobbies, thought…

That is a lot of gallons gone.

If it helps any, a normal size for a ream of paper is 2.5x8.5x11 = 187 cubic inches... so 1.24 reams of paper per gallon 5.77 x 1.24 = 7.13 reams of paper... So a ream on each thigh, and each arm, one on your stomach, one on your back, and one on the butt. No one has ever said I think normal. That might actually work as a…

Volume, as I was going for a visual comparison. So go to the grocery store, line up 5 gallons & 3 quarts of milk, and try to imagine you being that much bigger than you are now.

A 200lb person running a marathon (26.6 miles) at 8mph (3hrs 19 min 30 sec) will burn about 4000 cals. So, crank out 18 of them in 14 days, while only eating around 2000 cals each day, and continue going about your normal day, and you should make it.

Really bad bought of stomach flu. Could't keep any food down, and got really dehydrated as everything was coming out both ends. Exercise consisted of running to the restroom, and crawling back to the couch.

If the goal is just to move the scale down, cardio in whatever form you can handle is the way to go. It hands down burns more cals than anything else. If you spend an entire 60 minutes running/rowing/pedaling/aerobics/elliptical/dancing as fast and as hard as you can, with no rest, you will burn a ton of cals. If you want…

Hypothetically, Planet Fitness in St Peters MO. But it has been a while. Also have some weights I toss around at home, and lots of walking. And then I scrolled up and see that in 2013 I was still at Club Fitness in St C. I liked it, but not so much the lack of equipment, and the random invasions of the folks who who take…

"A recent expose in the New Yorker and lawsuits filed against Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, allege that the company pursued a marketing campaign that pushed OxyContin onto doctors. According to the article, Purdue allegedly did not adequately study the risks of OxyContin, paid off doctors to ignore them and pushed…

Idea is that if you can do that 250/day level, it is nothing to transition to 0/day, to do it for ever... rather than trying to go from a 750/day level for 6 months to 0/day the next.... But realistically, toss the per day stuff.... What you want is to look at it as two averages.... What is your average over 7 days, and…

For cal burn, you list the time under Exercise > Cardiovascular > Add Exercise > Strength training (weight lifting, weight training) on MFP. As for where I would record it for actual records, I use 2 different thing: Jefit app while I am doing the workout (I like the built in rest timer, and the stats at the end of the…

First, figure out what the average is of how many cals your tracker says you have burnt each day over the last 4 weeks. Then, (Average of what you burn each day) - 500 cals = (Amount you should be eating to lose around 1lb a week) If after 4 weeks you don't think you are losing fast enough, then make the -500 cals a higher…

Try this https://www.chipotle.com/nutrition-calculator Build your meal, and then either build a entry for it (That describes it so, Chipolte, Bowl, Chicken, br rice, sour cream, etc), or just quick add cals, when you enter it in here

Getting back to a sub 8 minute mile (Did 5 minutes in high school... 30+ yrs, & 75lbs ago) 30 minute 5k Finishing a Tough Mudder, and then walking another 3 miles that evening because my legs were getting stiff.

Bob normally drives 250 miles each day, which burns 10 gallons of fuel, out of his 10.5 gallon tank. Some days Bob drives 300 miles. Should he stop and put more fuel in on those days?
