Are you pretty new to these exercises? My first thought would be that the pain may have something to do with your form. You want to make sure your knees don't go past your toes when doing lunges and squats, otherwise you could injure the knees. If you're confident your form is fine, it may have something to do with the…

That's a rough schedule. When I worked those hours, I honestly didn't work out at all. Now, I work 7:30-4:30, but it's still tough to fit in working out when I have to cook, clean, do laundry, go grocery shopping, etc all after work.

I once had this recipe for muffins baked in a loaf pan, and had that instead of birthday cake one year. It's moist and apple-y and delicious!…

The severity of your symptoms is a little worrisome. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are pretty common in runners, but usually symptoms are mild. In rare cases, endurance runners can get a lack of blood flow to the intestines that basically starves the gut of oxygen. Again, it's rare, but if your symptoms are really that…

I used to hate working out, too. What helped me was to try a lot of new things until I found something that I enjoyed, and to bring someone along with me (in my case, my husband.) I signed up for these fitness classes at a local gym. It's a small gym, and the classes are really hard, and half-way through, I'm thinking, "oh…
