I am suppoesed to have my thyroid checked. I will be going in today to get the blood drawn. I know weight has always been an issue for me. I tend to keep my calories at or around 1200. They never stay in the 1200 range, it's just impossible for me. I do a lot of intense workouts so I know my body needs the fuel. I still…

30, 20, 10 means you do all the exercises 30 times then 20 times, then 10 times. I have seen people that have never worked out a day in their life come in and start the program. They do it 2 days a week for 12 weeks. By the time they are done with the 12th week, they are amazed at how much stronger they were from when they…

I do high intencity workout that is like cross fit 2 times a week. The other 3 days I go to the gym and lift weights. On the weekend I clean the house but nothing to what I was doing for cleaning since it is just my daughter and I. I also take my dog for walks every day unless the weather is crappy. The weather out here in…

Hello sir, I am still in AD Air Force and am currently going through the MEB process myself due to 2 hip surgeries and no future on full recovery. I am a firefighter and can no longer bare the weight of my gear nor perform my duties because of the extent of my injuries. It is a tough pill to swallow when you can no longer…

Oh there are tons of ways! Upi could take an empty milk jug or a pair of them and fill them with water to your desired weight and use those as weights. Your own body weight is also a great weight resistance. I am doing a lot of training with a physical therapyst who uses mostly our body weight for resistance. We warm up…

Insanity is a home workout disc set. It is a lot of high impact cross fit like, high endurance exercise program. You can most likely find it on youtube or you can buy the program on line. It is a bit pricy and not for someone who has never worked out. I know my Physical Therapyst hates this program because it is too much…

I can tell you from my own experience that I over obcess the number on the scale. I know better, like the other post, your weight is going to move up and down a bit throught the day. I have a problem with getting on the scale up to 5 times a day. It isn't healthy and all it does is frustrate you. I think I have reached a…

I think what she's looking for is toning and trimming. I know she isn't trying to build bulk and to say that women can't is not true. There are plenty of body builder women that have lots of bulk but their diets are different and they aren't taking testoterone or enhancers to get them there. I my self have grown in size…

I would have to agree with you as well. I think your body benifits with doing both but limiting your cardio to 30-35 minutes. Any more than that you are going to break your muscle down and become lean. I am recovering from two hip surgeries and may need hip replacement but am only 30, so I am going through a new thing…

I would have to ask if you have incorperated any weight training in your weight loss program. It is a proven fact that the more muscle mass you have the more calories your body will burn. You need to build muscle. Don't worry this is not going to make you bulky. A lot of women I talk to in the gym ask me what I do to get…
