To answer your question. 1. Do endless burpees until you can't move 2. Do pull ups 3. Run hills Anyone can finish it at any level of fitness, but if you really push yourself to do your best, attempt all the obstacles, and complete every penalty, you'll nearly vomit or pass out at several points. The burpees are killer…

Makes sense. Thanks!

I only took a week off from the exercise. I still work out two hours a day four days a week. The only difference is that now I continue to eat until I can't eat anymore.

Though I wasn't entirely clear, I didn't mean literally running 2 miles nonstop at a 5 minute mile pace. I meant do intervals at that pace for a total of 2 miles with some walking and slow jogging in between. Also, I stand by my statement that six days is probably overdoing it.

That depends. Are you running for fitness or for fun? If you're running for fun, whatever pace you're comfortable is totally fine and healthy. If you're running for fitness, cut down the miles and increase the intensity. You would get a much better workout doubling your speed and running 2 miles instead of 5 for just four…

It's hard to bulk without putting on unnecessary fat. I'm focusing on cutting for the summer and then I'll start bulking in the winter.

Fitnesssocial, I don't really understand. If you're saying that I'm losing weight faster when I've fasted for 16 hours because I'm in a deficit... Isn't that exactly how intermittent fasting works? If not, then there's no deficit since I still meet/exceed recommended daily calorie intake. Not trying to argue or be a jerk,…

I still eat 2200-2500 calories a day though, I just eat them all at once. I've been eating to maintain my weight, and I've been losing.

Sort of. However, seemingly whenever it comes to diet and fitness, there are always multiple "correct" ways of doing things with professionals and experts on both sides saying the other point of view is a myth. I've found that I can work out just as hard and often harder after a period of fasting than I can if I snack an…

The time of the day isn't really relevant. Your workouts will be most effective if you do them on an empty stomach. The longer you've gone without eating, the more effective your workout will be. For most people, the longest they fast is while they're sleeping, so their morning workout is most effective. If you have…

I've lost nearly 80 pounds and loose skin didn't start to show up until I had lost about 65-70 pounds. If you continue to lose weight at the rate you are now, you will almost definitely have loose skin when you reach your goal. The good news is, as you approach your goal, losing weight will become increasingly difficult,…

I know where you're coming from. People used to suggest eating many small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism going faster. That doesn't work for me. There would be days where I could eat 6000+ calories of healthy food and not be satisfied. Try intermittent fasting. Go 16+ hours each day without eating. Just…

Ignore the weight gain, it's meaningless to measure any change in weight within a 48 hour time span. Here's what you should do. Weigh yourself at the exact same time, only once a week. Be VERY consistent. Example: Every Monday - 7:45 AM - Before Breakfast - Before Water Consumption - After Restroom I'll weigh myself one…

There's something wrong with the calculator if it's telling you that you should eat 1200-1300 calories. 1200 calories a day is what's required to keep a coma patient at the same weight. It's the amount of food required to keep your organs from failing. Even if you sit all day, the energy you spend walking to the restroom…

I have the same issue and I haven't been able to get it under control. There are days when I give up and consume close to 10,000 calories. I've found that exercising and drinking lots and lots of water helps a little. The only food that really works is just eating salsa. The spice makes it feel filling. The best part is,…

I only work out 3 days a week at most, sometimes only 2 and I lost about 40 pounds in six months while toning and putting on a significant amount of muscle. The rest is really so important. I have a day where I do chest, a day where I do arms and shoulders, a day where I do legs, and a day where I focus on my core. That…

I'm not an expert, so take my advice with a grain of salt. You may have to really change the way you look at diet and exercise if you want to build muscle. Lean muscle doesn't come quickly, it's much easier to lose 25 pounds of fat than it is to gain 5 pounds of muscle. You must take in approximately twice as much…
