  • I never thought of avocado, but I have made avocado chocolate pudding before. I don't know the calorie count, this is something I eat very rarely, so it's not a big deal to me. I've bought it from a health food store before, and I believe one slice was in the mid 300's, but I'll find out for you. I've also tried an almond…
  • No particular reason, but for the past few months I was training for hypertrophy. I want to lean out, so I'm using higher reps, shorter rest periods. It's pretty much an experiment right now to see how my body changes. The only time I get bored is cardio days, especially in a gym. Thanks for the input!
  • I used fresh mango instead of strawberries, but I'm sure strawberries would taste great> http://food52.com/blog/7330-dessert-in-the-raw
  • I've heard this a few times. I don't use heavy weights when I go behind the neck, nor do I perform the lat pulldown this way very often. Thanks for the help though.
  • Hey, I like to use bodybuilding.com for inspiration. They have some good workout routines. Fitness magazine websites also have free workout routines. The internet is full of resources for people with injuries, I have KT Tape on my knees right now. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/womens-strength-training-guide.htm
  • Also, check Craigslist for cheap weights. The internet is full of at home/park exercise routines, my sister does them all the time.
  • A little goes a long way. It was very hard for me to do any pull ups, but the assisted pull up machine at my gym helped a lot. Google negative pull ups, it's hard to explain, but you can do them in the park. I had the exact same problem with side boobs/fat, you just have to lose body fat to reduce these problem areas. I…
  • Their training styles/program greatly differs from your typical gym-goer. It all depends on what they are training for, and if they are training on or off season. A lot of them also work with Nutritionists and Dieticians. They may train everyday, but I do not believe they train the same muscles every single day. They are…
  • Trust me, you are not the only one with this problem. Your problem could simply be dehydration, this was my initial problem. I workout 6 days a week, and you really need to eat smaller meals more frequently; for example, I will eat 3 egg whites and one whole egg for breakfast, 2 hours later I juice, eat fruit, or cashews.…
  • Hey, I would suggest cooking 3-4 days worth of foods that take longer to cook. This has helped me tremendously with losing weight and gaining muscle. A crockpot is also a staple for me, there are tons of recipes online (pinterest for example). I clean, then soak dried beans overnight and cook them in the morning in…
  • Hi, It is very possible to build your core/ab muscles again and reduce the loose skin, but without surgery it is not possible to 100% revert back to your pre-pregnancy stomach. There are many ab workouts on bodybuilding.com that I follow. Good luck!

  • Hey, I am a personal trainer, and if you are paying someone to train you they should provide you with weekly workout plans. If they are not giving you enough guidance I would suggest that you get another trainer. Check out bodybuilding.com they have many different types of workout routines you can follow. Every muscle…
