I'm on 1200 calories, but I work out everyday so I can have a bit more room to play around, on a slow day I logged 500 cal for exercise, 1000+on a good day some 1400 calories days too. and I eat back some calories. Therefore I always eat below 1200 calories. lot of times I have 300+ calories leftover. I started at 208 and…

I started doing live classes just about 6 weeks ago (before that xbox version for a mth)and I am the first one in the club to break the gender barrier. I think I have started to help some other guys wanting to come in. For the past 2 week, we had 2 other guys on my saturday classes, and today, an Indian lady brought his…

Zumba exhilarte Turbo Jam

I have a Heart Rate Monitor on when I run, I know my sweet spot is about 150bpm, so I try to adjust the treadmill to keep myself at that pace. and that I can run for a long time in a comfortable manner. I'd also believe in lifting. It strength the muscles and get me a lot more bounce in my steps. As for breathing I would…

lost 7 inch on my waist, Zumba rocks!

I have the same issue before until I discover this trick, Use a bit of soap, dish soap, or handwash use, and use a tooth brush and brush the sensor area, rinse it and put it on. And you should get a clean reading every time.

Add me then I see this is a new change in me, a life style with like minded friends in here that understand how hard this is. I'm not eager, or in a hurry to get to my goal in a set amount of time. I see absolutely no reason to finish this in a hurry and go back to the way I eat before. The lbs lost is nice, but seeing…

Almond, Cow's milk might have hidden substance like aspartame inside being talked about right now, Soy is a highly GM'ed crop. Almond is probably more untouched. but only if you care about those sort of things.

Bought my first form fitting sleeveless workout top today. Actually looks good wearing it. some area needs a little work but good overall.

Roxy HRM is it, I think the gym equipment is accurate with the right weight entered as the other poster says, if you keep you hands on the sensor bar the whole time it should be as accurate as a HRM. but with an HRM you can be hands off the sensor region and polar compatible gym equipment can read off your HRM sensor.…

Excerpt from Livestrong.com On average, the density of fat is 0.9 g/mL. The density of muscle is 1.1 g/mL. Using the averages, 1 liter of muscle weighs 1.06 kg, or 2.3 lbs., while 1 liter of fat weighs .9 kg, or 1.98 lbs. This may vary due to numerous factors including race, being extremely lean, or being extremely obese…

Now is the time to learn about good beer vs bad beer. One beer is not going to kill you, so if you can only have 1 beer that day, what would it be. I'll buy Stella Artois. or some good Saint Arnold's beer.

Look up Ketosis, I think that might be a good clue. If you have 57 lbs to lose, chances are you might be diabetic. or prediabetic. but let the doctor blood test tells you. please don't take my word for it. During 1999, I quit smoking, and I gained 30 lbs after that. soon after, I was diagnose as a diabetic. it's not the…

First thing , Change your handle. and stop beating yourself up, you are in good company with all of us. I'm sitting on my second plateau, don't worry , it will come down. Friend me if you like.

I found me a classic. Good for Asian men

I do, because I'm working on a 1200 calorie diet and I know it's not realistic, So i worked out like a fiend so I can balance that 1200, like today is a weird day, I logged 1400 calories on 2 hour of workout and I round up only 150 calorie away under my goal.

I'm 5'9 and I want to get to 32 waist, Do at least 5 unassisted pull ups. and get down to 165 lbs.

Go watch Man vs. Food, That's more than 10000 calories per episode.

Yes, but you can do both, lose weight and gain muscle at the same time, provided if you have reserves like some of us.(reserved fat. that is). Just watch your intake.

Trying to answer all questions I'm 5'9 and I know my goals are aggressive, but the thing is, I still eat the same portion of food I usually eats, I just switch it to mostly plant based diet, When I do eat meat, I eat it sparingly. I do pig out every now and then. As far as measurement, I lost 7 inch alone in the waist. The…

Cigarette, Hard Liquor Aspartame (Coke Zero) and all things sugar substitute. White refined starch (white bread, white pasta) Fast Food They are not all recent, just a continue refinement of the self.

Started Zumba on Xbox with Zumba core Fitness, 4 more session to beat the game, Started joining live classes 3 weeks ago, Now I attend 3 classes per week and 1 or 2 xbox session per week to supplement. With the 3 week consistency, I finally seen more dudes come in for the first time today. So I'm not alone in a sea of…

If it hurts too bad then just do cardio, If it hurts a little, you can fight thru it. but either way, make sure you spend a lot of time afterwards to do stretching minimum of 8-12 mins. I learn yoga from youtube. It helps a lot.

Congrats. Stay away from cup of plastic noodles altogether

What I learn was cardio will make you lose the calories while you are doing the work. So whatever you logged, you got that number. With lifting, you will log lower number because your heart usually stays in Zone 3/. However, the magic happen after the lifting workout, You will continue to burn an added 5-10% for another…

If you have an Xbox and Kinect. Try the Zumba Core fitness game. Really worked your core. I'm lucky I used that first, The top part of my gut is mostly gone. just the lower pouch is left. But it's a lot smaller. So Zumba works

You become Mummy Man!

If you have a smart phone, just but the polar bluetooth chest strap. Then you can use a lot of after market apps to track. The only thing is you might not want to take dance class with a smart phone, you might just fling it across the room. Also if you run and cycles, the after market apps track your speed outdoors, your…

Spend time doing stretching immediately after the workout, I workout 7 days a week , I do Yoga immediately after workouts for 10 minutes, And I can get right back on it the next day. I use the first 10 minutes of it. It's makes a huge difference.…

When you first start the lbs just melts off, nothing to be concerned about, it's when you are about 15-20 lbs above your goal weigh(mid range of normal healthy weight) then it becomes slower and harder to get rid off.
