Depends on what you do. You can't swing kettle bell non stop for 1 hour.

750 is too high, 231 is too low. biking most accurately measures calories burnt compared to running/walking/ elliptical because it doesn't account into weight difference between people. It's purely leg strength. Burning about 375 kcal seems right for light bike. I usually just go 50% of what mfp recommends. Seems to work.

if she doesn't play sports now, get her engaged in sports so she's surrounded by 'fit' kids. It's a positive environment as unless she wants to do sumo or powerlift, there's no sports where 'excess fat ' = good. She will become more competetive, fitter, and healthy conscious as she gets older. Please choose a comepetive…

my mom let me eat whatever I wanted and stuffed me , so I became a chubby kid. Fat cells can expand in numbers when they are kids/teenagers and it will remain there their entire lives. It'll make it 10 x tougher for her to lose fat(weight) when she's a teenager and she starts to care about her weight. I recommend that you…

I disagree. You can do both. It's only a problem unless you're a pure strength athlete or competetive athlete. If you're on an empty stomach in the morning, do cardio first. Drink a quick protein shake or eat a bananna, then start your weight training session. Try not to lift on an empty stomache after cardio in the…

Hips... hips thrusts/twists. Power comes from hip drive and it'll make you better in things outside of the gym as well :D

Save it for your cheat day/meal. If this is your cheat meal, then skip everything 'fried'. The oil they use at chinese restaurants are generally of poor quality(plus they reuse it) Get steamed broccli, meat, etc. If you like carbs, get noodles that are NOT fried. Other than the insane amount of oyster sauce they use, it's…

Your feet pointing inwards means that your posture is off. try standing shoulder width, then jump stright up in the air and land(natural) If your feet's pointing inwards at this landing position, you've got to work on your posture. You might not like exercise but you might enjoy yoga. Yoga is quite relaxing and it works on…

I can either console you or I can tell you the cold, hard truth. I'll do the latter. S**t happens. People go through tough times, it's life. You can choose to destress by eating and crying at home or you can keep yourself occupied by exercising more intensely and keeping a clean diet. Don't let your boyfriend think he has…

If you're on a calorie deficit , you WILL feel tired... this is especially the case if you're on a low-carb diet. Just drink tea throughout the day or black coffee(no sugar added). When I'm REALLY tired, I just chug my black coffee and that keeps me sweating and alert for about an hour, then I make another black coffee and…

I'm going to thailand and other places for 2 weeks with my male friends. I just quick-added 6kcal/day every single day lol food + alcohol. No need to count. I don't expect to 'lose' fat during this trip no matter how much I walk. I might lose some muscle mass + gain fat. Do I care? no. I know I can return to my diet +…
-
Exactly this. Same with me, I like to socialize/do things on weekends (dinner/casual drinks), so my kcal intake will be higher. Thus, if I know I'll be having a heavy 'drinking' night due to my friends bachelor party, etc, I'll create a deficit by exercise and slightly more restrictive diet throughout the week leading up…

IF this is your new years goal(judging by your start date), change your attitude. 99% of new years goals fail, thus, I never make one. There's no reason why people should be 'motivated' to do one or the other in the upcoming year just because the calender date changes. It's a disaster and guaranteed failure. It will take…

well for me I have a cheat day where I eat whatever I want(I count for fun sometimes, but don't care if it's 6k cal) I do this once every 8 - 10 days. Keeps my energy level in check and also, it gets me ready for when I come off my diet and have to slowly incorporate 'other foods' into my diet. I can't eat chicken breast…

pecs look small, go work on it more.

Started noticing when I lost 5kg ( 127 --> 122kg) Another new friend from crossfit said she notice a big diff from ( 118kg --> 111kg) 7kg. My friends from home haven't seen me yet but a few will in february, I wonder what they will say. I'm a 6 foot male and I don't just do cardio though and lift heavy and intensively…

Whatever your family brings, only eat a little bit. If they bring you a plate, eat half or 50%. Then they will bring less and less food, or smaller portions. If they don't, keep eating half

Theoretically, you can 'lose' weight by just eating mcdonalds as long as it's calories out > calories in. ( it's unhealthy so don't, but just saying) if you are an emotional eater, buy 'healthy' snacks with low kcal and snack on veggies/nuts, etc
-
That's why you are not losing weight. Eating anything and everything for 2 weeks doesn't mean you're committed. You can plenty eat 'healthy', not 'everything and anything' during christmas time. You probably gained more than 4lbs from 2 weeks of binging and it just showed up on the scale. You might have easily put on 8 -…

My havanese runs for maybe 200m max and then just stops and gives me a dirty look. He then takes a poop and barks at me to pick it up. Good life.

Do you wake up and go to work every day because you're motivated? It's routine and a necessity. Same with exercise. Nobody can just be like " OK! lets go doooo thiisssssssss gigidy" Just have to man up and go

plank medicine ball (stability) crunches and what people say about abs... partially true. If you have a layer of fat around the tummy can never show 'abs' or look 'toned'.

Yes. Shoulders are not supposed to handle heavy overweight movements such as 'heavy' overhead press. Your shoulder will wear and tear. Keep overhead shoulder movements light if possible.

That's just the same as BMI . Every body builder or person with a lot of muscle mass comes out as OBESE or morbidly obese according to bmi, even if they have sub 10% body fat. Those recommendations don't take into account a lot of factors and is quite generalized. amount of Visceral fat vs subcutaneous tummy fat should be…

6 foot male. 240 - 245 lbs. 38 inch waist now. And no, because I have big chest and big shoulders, 38 inch waist looks slim. You will see a lot of skinny/fat 32 inch / 34 inch waist out of porportion. So... it's all about your build and porportion.
