The important thing is to work out. You have to commit to working out and making it a priority in your life. That being said, try evening workouts and see how they work. If they don't, then you'll have to decide if sleeping later or getting healthy is more important.

Hopefully, not at the same time.

My vote: Squats Deadlifts Hanging leg raises (and variations) Weighted Russian Twists

This thread is amusing.

Heavy metal. Generally squats, deadlifts, and presses.

Deadlifts, one-armed rows, pull-ups.

It doesn't sound feasible.

Spot-reduction is a myth.

Same issue. Mine's kind of flimsy for a gym, so I doubt it's the same type. It's fine up to 300 lbs, but I really want to get (or build) something better.

Drool. I've got an open squat cage/suspension trainer combo that works OK. But I would trade it in a second for this one.

To answer the question (rather than criticize the way you set your calories): if what you're doing is working, why alter anything?

Ignore the a-holes. It varies for everyone. Keep working, keep progressing, and you will get there. You might even be there already and just need to realize it.

I get up every hour or two and do push-ups,squats,jumping jacks, or run the stairs.

Fingertip - check Diamond - hard but check Hindu - part of my daily warm-up Spiderman - check Clapping - check Dragonwalk - check (these are a helluva workout) Archer - never tried, not sure I can Chest tap - never seen these before; they look hard One-hand - check, no more than 3 One-hand, one-leg - nope And the rest just…

Look for RKC training.

I think I paid $50 for a 40 pounder, so $1.25 a pound. Shipping was free.

A little more than that. Check Amazon for the best prices - CAP seems to be the most affordable.

Kettlebells are great, but they are expensive and not as versatile as some claim. I have a 20 pounder I use for cardio circuits and a 40 pounder that quickly became too light for strength work. (And a milk jug is not an adequate substitute. )

High Intensity Interval Training - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training

My wife has the same issue. Luckily, she has a fabulous butt.

Have you discussed this with a doctor?

I'd tell you but then I would be encouraging a waste of money

I have one. It sits against the back wall of my gym area. Sometimes I do pushups or squats on it. I'm rather glad that I found it at a thrift store for $8.00, because I'd be really pissed if I wasted $60+ on it.

Sounds good to me, with the disclaimer that this depends on what you consider weights and strength training.

I'm guessing the person who called you addicted is a couch potato. Ignore them.

:smile: Good for you.

Push-ups and all the variations of push-ups ought to be all you need. Try elevating your feet for a more intense workout.

I highly recommend weights. The book Starting Strength or the website for StrongLifts 5x5 are great places to start. (And women seem to do well with New Rules of Lifting for Women).

You can say whatever you want. Doesn't make it true, though. If you want strength training, you really need a full-body routine.
