Tuna Almonds Wassa multi grain crackers Eggs Carton of Egg whites Oatmeal Lean beef Turkey Sausage Zucchini Squash Beans Brown Rice Plus most of what you buy minus the granola bars cause Ill eat the whole box. I try not to get open and eat food cause I'm weak.

My milo heart rate monitor, burned calorie counter gadget that's also a watch.

1 banana, handful of fresh strawberries (I rather blueberries), 1-2T Natural Pnut butter or flax seeds if you don't like pnut butter, vanilla or plain yogurt (the greek kinds) and a small handful of rolled or steel cut oats. A liltle skim milk to get the consistency you like. Just make sure you look at your teeth after…

Bags of sand of varying weights + a big hill in my backyard + a little creativity

Not a shake or bar, but I often find myself in a hurry and just eat a can of tuna or sardines right outa the can. Not packed in oil kinds. I find if I purchase a box of bars of any kind I cant stop.

I kind of took it as getting leaner, thus having the appearance of more muscle. My bad.

Basically its a good source of Omega 3 fats....the good ones. The reason flax seeds are popular is that you dont want to put a hunk of salmon in your smoothie, but flax seeds you do. There are also claims of disease preventative effects too.

Any program will work providing it challenges your body. Diet > workout to simply drop weight. Diet + workout is better.....lose weight and get in shape.

I use a postage scale. Its digital so I assume accurate. Office supply stores sell them.

There is a big debate on that. One of the better responses I've seen says that if you have the energy to do cardio after lifting, then your not lifting hard enough. Better to put more energy into your lifting routine. Regardless most say no if you did legs.

Front, left and right planks might work for you as they offer less repetitive motion. Many consider planks to be among the better core exercises.

The word "easily" doesn't fit in the title:tongue: ....that's a great routine.

Just getting ready to do my abs...I'm in!

In regards to not wanting to bulk up: That is entirely a diet issue. If your in a deficit of daily calories you wont gain size. But do make sure you don't work out on an empty stomach and also have a little something after you work out.

If you're just starting to lift, you may want to consider a full body compound exercise routine. The difference would be that you wont be isolating muscles such as biceps, quads, etc. They are a great way to hit your you're entire body with 6 exercises. Most machines tend to isolate a certain muscle by isolating movement…
