  • Great thread! What in the world is a good girl/bad girl machine. I work out with a trainer and it's mainly because of the squat form. I have had 5 knee surgeries and I refuse to be told I shouldn't be doing it. On the other hand..my trainer is not so concerned about my knees as he says I have weak hips. How in the world…

Been lifting with a PT for about 3 months. but did the Jamie Eason program off bodybuilding prior to the hiring the PT. working with PT mainly because with 5 knee surgeries..squats scared me.

  • Oh no! I have been wearing my HRM and my fitbit during my weight lifting sessions. And yep..been logging it in on the MFP site (and thinking that my fitbit would adjust the calories). Now, i am thinking I shouldn't log it all! Feel like I am getting a good workout with all the compound lifts...but it is definitely…

  • Here is my question for y'all.... So I am just joined working with a trainer. this is after I have completed the Jamie Eason's 12 week livefit trainer off bodybuilding website. However during that 12 week period...never felt like I could really push myself with the weights. my gym was not conducive to heavy lifting...no…

  • I do wear my HRM when I play and depending on weather (if it's a cool day or 95 degree weather day) my calories change. I average anywhere between 800 to 900 riding in a cart and around 1100 to 1200 when I am pulling a cart or carrying the bag! I just like to see what calorie burn I have...so hence the HRM...mainly for…

  • [/quote]Forefoot and midfoot provide the same benefit. I'm usually forefoot when running fast and midfoot when running normally. Google, Good Form Running. It's more than just foot strike. It includes foot placement under your center of mass and body alignment. [/quote] Thanks! There is hope for me after all! :drinker:

  • That was a good article. I miss running! I did a few 5k's..and I think that is all I can do at this point. My issue is that I have had 5 knee surgeries! Three reconstructions and two orthoscopic. I have been basically told that "the only time you should be running...if someone is running after you". I still sneak a little…
