  • I would recommend making some time during your lunch break to workout. Instead of eating lunch (eat mini meals thru out the day while working) then on that 1hr break do cardio or strength training. OR if u get to take 10-15 min breaks thru out day workout then, that would be 2-3 combined 10-15 min workouts (equals total of…
    in When do you find TIME to work out? Comment by tpdance September 2008
  • probably really depends on how intense non stop your class is, depends on the burn. Don't forget, after a workout class, ur metabolic rate is increased AFTER the workout, meaning your body will burn more than your RMR for a duration after your workout, so that could account for u actually burning more than just what your…

  • I recommend caloriesperhour.com. They have almost every activity and u can calculate it to your gender, height, and weight. I really like it. I would look under interval training or circuit training when comparing to 30 day shred, thats what I do. But u might find something else that you feel gave u a similar type of…

  • well actually 95-125 should be your target exercise rate, so going over that is not necessary and possibly not healthy. As far as how ur body is responding to the exercise you may want to get fitness evaluation done to better help you (by a professional). And for the weight loss, you may be right where u need to be and…

  • I had to go in and make adjustments to my profile and goals, i put lose 1/2 lb a week just so it would up my calorie intake, b/c i did my RMR calculation on another website and it was set to low on MFP.

  • i think you will be all good. :-) You can also look at your total intake and expenditure on a weekly basis, not just daily. It works fine both ways. Hope that helps!

  • check credentials and who they are certified by. Make sure not some online anyone can do it certification, i would recommend someone w/ a degree in exercise science related field and certified by NSCA or ACSM (that is really good), those are the two top notch organizations to be certified w/.
    in Personal Trainer? Comment by tpdance July 2008
  • the loss is ok. But never take in less than 1200 cal, no woman no matter size or age should take in less than 1200 cal otherwise u r starving yourself. And that means fat will stay on your body. I would maybe check and compare some other websites for some good ideas on calorie range for you to lose 1-2lbs per week. Your…
    in Is my weight loss healthy? Comment by tpdance July 2008
  • are u following a 5K training or making up your own? It takes time, a good 5K training session should take 6-8 weeks, so make sure u r not doing too much too soon. When i did my 5K training, the first session/week was only a 10 min session. That was about it, 10-12 min the whole first week maybe week and a half. Then you…

    in exercise calories?? Comment by tpdance April 2008
  • I also recommend looking at your weekly totals. If you stay w/in weekly totals and don't deviate too much, you should be ok. The type of foods you eat that day may also matter, some foods are more filling than others and have equal or less amount of calories than the not so ful-filling foods. So take that factor into…
    in Starvation mode.... Comment by tpdance April 2008
  • yep, maybe bruised deep like tissue or bone, which can take up to 4 weeks to heal (from personal experience). Rest would prob be best, stick w/ cardio for now and any other strengthening that doesn't hurt. I personally use a chiropractor, so that may help w/ sciatic stuff (if u slipped a disk or pinched a nerve), but thats…
    in Injury advice needed Comment by tpdance April 2008
  • i would compare it to other workouts and list it as something else (for ex: classify it as dance for whatever time, or kickboxing for however long) then just make a note under your exercise that it was actually HHabs. Thats what I would do. Hope that helps!
    in Hip Hop Abs Comment by tpdance March 2008
  • keep up any ab workout, but honestly cardio and diet is what mainly helps lose the belly fat. But ab exercises builds muscle which increases metabolism to burn fat while resting, the crunches/etc. helps to tone the abs. I would recommend doing something that targets all muscles of the abdomen (transverse, obliques, abs…

  • as mentioned: good nite's rest, hot bath followed by some stretching, and choco milk after workout has been used in some studies to see its affect w/ muscle soreness and those studies say have helped. Do the same tomorrow (warm up muscles stretch good) b/c of DOMS, u may not feel much tomorrow and feel more of it Tuesday -…
