The more I read, the more confused I get. The difference between all the technologies (Smart, Active 3D, Passive 3D, OLED, 4k Ultra HD). We thought the smart tvs had the sharpest picture quality, when comparing the wall of tvs in the stores. I could care less about accessing social media thru my tv. I just want the best…

don't replace one bad habit with another. try healthier snack options. just practice some willpower.

i thought this was going to be a question about how weight loss can affect the menstrual cycle, because that it can. depending on fitness level, even when on the pill, a woman can have a shorter or lighter month, or even skip a month or two. your gyn will be the best person to consult about this. but i have no idea whats…

i like to take my dog for walks around parks. we were looking to get some kayaks this summer, that's a good arm workout. rock climbing (indoors or out) can be challenging. even gardening or yard work can be a great workout! if you work in an office building like i do, doing a stair challenging with some coworkers, or using…

wire brush to clean excess black residue off before cooking your food. when the coats are still flaming. i don't think its gross to cook right on the grill. if it bothers you that much tin foil will do the trick, but your food wont get as good of a flavor as its not exposed right to the smoke and heat, which is in my…

stir fry - chicken, spinach, green beans, and okra with some lemon pepper seasoning.

best time to have sweets is post-workout. if you have a sweet tooth after dinner, try making some sugar free pudding or jello, have low fat ice cream, or make some protein cookies (crushed up banana, oats, raisins, and protein powder). its all about the small daily choices. split a banana in half long ways, put a little…

first of all congrats! I am going to be married next weekend, and I think this is one life event that can really incentivize a positive change in lifestyle! seems like you have made up your mind to change the way you are living and get healthy. eating right is 80% of it, and consistent exercise is the rest. but remember…

im a big fan of jillian michaels. you get the best bang for your buck. you don't have to leave home, the workouts are 30 minutes, and they incorporate strength and cardio into the workout for the most effective toning and fat burning. this along with balanced diet will most definitely yield some positive results for you.

that's a difficult situation. props to teachers, that's a really under-rated profession nowadays. ive seen some different approaches to dealing with difficult children, and sometimes its best just to let their outbursts and tantrums play out. if its a child who thinks making noise gets him attention, the some cold shoulder…

I did ripped in 30 and now am trying killer abs and killer buns and thighs. these 2 I am rotating, whatever I feel like doing in a given day. they are painful and definitely liking the more focused workouts. I liked RI30, and I still do that occasionally too, but the buns and thighs one is great. I love seeing progress and…

the scale can be one tool to track progress but you should not rely on it exclusively. if you are noticing your clothes fitting better or image in the mirror looking more lean then things are working. you should be heavier into strength training than cardio, because it will burn more fat over long term by increasing…

I just made banana pancakes yesterday and they were amazing! my staple breakfast items on work days are greek yogurt and granola or sugar free preserves/jelly, oatmeal with raisins or honey, and turkey bacon. sometimes ill have shredded wheat with milk or eggs with onions and peppers.

shin splints are definitely not something you can push through with. the quickest way for them to heal is to take a rest from running and high impact cardio. try working on an elliptical for a week or two and see how that helps. if you continue to train through the pain it can actually lead to minor fractures in your shin.

chocolate soy milk with shredded wheat. natures path granola, bare naked, and kashi are good with greek yogurt. my go-to breakfast. also been putting sugar free preserves/jelly in my yogurt if im limiting my carbs for the day.

strength training is very important, even for women. cardio is good but I would focus more on strength training because it will increase your overall metabolism and help you burn more fat throughout the day than cardio will. cardio is good for increasing your caloric deficit, and if you do it the high intensity interval…

you have to first be totally set in your mind what you want to achieve. no matter what it is, if its dieting or quitting tobacco (or any other nasty habit), you have to be 100% ready to do it, or it wont stick. set realistic goals each week, and allow yourself some leeway at least one meal per week to treat yourself. the…

don't be afraid of natural sodium in foods, unless you have a thyroid condition or something. sodium will only increase water retention, but otherwise is not detrimental to a diet. go ahead and have some tuna, its good for you. you might also choose a wrap instead of the bread if you are concerned about it.
-
I agree with having a cheat meal (not a cheat day). its good especially if you have a severe caloric deficit because your metabolism will slow down if you don't eat one day at least once a week at or slightly above your maintenance. usually I try to eat as healthy as I can while working toward my goal, but you also need to…

I did JM ripped in 30 and found some of the exercises were a little hard on my knees. try taking out the jumps and high impact moves. also like others said, less range of motion will also help to lessen the stress on certain joints.

It's a combination of eating healthy, consistent exercise, and just generally taking care of yourself. not to do anything in excess. you can enjoy the pizza and beer on a Friday night outing, but to do that every night would not be leading a "healthy lifestyle". also to stay as active in your free time as possible, because…

I have never really forgotten what happened on a drunk night. Probably the dumbest thing I ever did was try to ride my bike back from this bar with my other friend. And I fell right in the middle of the street in front of a groups of people. If you could do one thing without consequence what would it be?

It's not about huge gestures on valentines day, its about the little gestures on a regular basis that make a relationship wonderful. Evenings spent at home just watching movies or a show are just as enjoyable, if not more so, than a getaway.

i have a few simple suggestions: 1. eating healthy starts with grocery shopping. what you buy is what you will eat, so try to stick to the outside of the supermarket as much as possible (meats, fresh veggies, milk products, and grains) 2. make your meals ahead of time as much as possible. for example, plan your meals the…

i really need to update my profile pic. i saw pretty great results with ripped in 30. it was tough starting out, but just stick with it and you will see and feel the results! pushups get easier, endurance increases with the cardio if you push yourself, and if you diet is on track body tone will happen. i need to buy these…

I love the JM workouts. I did ripped in 30, finished week 4, and i've been just continuing doing whatever week I feel like throughout the week. Im getting another JM program soon, just to switch things up.
