A trick we use for checking form is to squat facing a wall. Put your toes right up against the wall. Squat. It forces you to sit back, keeps your alignment…

  • My wife and I officially started the 21 day fix yesterday. We have been trying the portions earlier in the week and set Sunday as the start day. It is a big increase for me as far as intake but it all makes sense. I look forward to reading the group's posts and hopefully contributing as well. Have a fantastic week.

  • The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a lifesaver, their website has great lists of do's and don'ts particularly for shopping. We bookmarked it and were constantly checking it when we shopped. If you bake or are want to bake your own breads, Nuts.com is a great source for almond and coconut flour. A yogurt maker will be a…

  • If your toes are pointed out less of your foot is in contact with the ground and thus you "bleed" power. The squat is a functional exercise. If I placed a box in front of you or simply told you to jump in the air, you would, naturally, keep your toes pointed straight ahead. Coming from the bigger faster stronger era in the…

  • This is similar to the plan my nutritionist developed for me. We use calories along with nutrition guidelines. It seems while she is not giving you a caloric goal, by default she is by giving you grams of carbs and fat. My plan is: 1800-2000 calories per day. 45% carbs (200-225g) 20% protein (90-100g) Breakfast 400…

  • There is nothing wrong with being above the aerobic zone. Particularly if you are not doing an aerobic workout. Many workouts like insanity are anerobic and your heart rate is an indication of that. If you were merely running you would not want to stay in the anerobic zone for 40 minutes (unless you have a specific…
