  • He also drew by hand and painted those iconic images of Ali and Jordan. He is a renaissance man.
  • At home, I only have free weights, a set of adjustable dumbbells that are just awesome. When I used to do gym workouts, I used both. It all depended on the move I was doing. For instance, when I was trying to get better at pull-ups, doing a lat pulldown at a machine worked well at building up the strength so that I could…
  • Maybe that's why he's asking in this forum. Perhaps he just wanted an answer to a question and not a critique of the way in which he asked it. Your response shows inexperience and a lack of basic tactfulness, understanding, or consideration.
  • It's a fun workout. Of course, don't take the word "fun" to mean that it's not a serious workout. Shaun T crams a lot of movement and activity into 25 minutes. There are 3 phases to Focus T25 (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) and there are 4-5 workouts that make up each phase. Myself, I found Alpha to be too easy and a waste, but…
  • Squats and push ups will do more for your abs than planks.......but like others have said and I will echo, this is assuming that your diet is in sync with your fat loss/muscle building goals. Like erickirb said, spot reduction is a misnomer. Go ahead and do planks until you're blue in the face. Will you have strong…
  • Like pondee629, I like to mix it up. I do 3 days of strength exercises, mainly bodyweight moves like pull-ups, push-ups, stability ball crunches, lunges, squats.......some moves with weights or with an incline/decline. The other 3 days I do a power walk on my treadmill averaging 3.5mph, incorporating varying inclines and…
  • Since it's a Beachbody Challenge, it entails providing your contact information to a Beachbody Coach, who will attempt to sell you the best thing to put into your body, the miracle superfood (although it's a drink) known as Shakeology. If there's one overpriced bag of powdered tripe you try this year, make it Shakeology…
  • At night is the only time I have available. I'm a night owl to begin with, so sometimes working out at night helps me wear down so that I can get to sleep at a reasonable hour.
  • Pictures of how I workout on vacation...
  • Body Beast is a strength training/body building DVD series put out by Beachbody. I tried a few workouts from the series. Despite the fact that I am not a huge fan of it, I can see how the program can work for others. If that's the kind of workouts you are into, strength and body building, then I would recommend P90X first,…
  • Here's my two cents on the program. On the positive side, it is a balls-to-the-wall intense cardio workout program. You will sweat, you will pant, you will beg for mercy, you will come out on the other side wondering what make and model of vehicle just ran you over. As far as the Beachbody workouts and cardio go, Shaun T…
  • I love the DVD programs. The shills for the "coaching" opportunity.......not so much.
  • You might want to use this statement sparingly or not at all. Saying "I talked to my Beachbody Coach" carries the same weight and credibility as if someone said "I talked to my psychic".
  • Debbie Downer is a hilarious character, therefore comparison to her is a compliment. DavPul, you are welcome.
  • Holy crap jofjltncb6, short, simple, to the point. Please write a book and sell it to some of those who are hating on me, for who knows what reason. I come to the defense of the OP and now I'm the a**hole. As evidenced by my posts above, I can play the role quite nicely.
  • I already did my part to help the OP.......now I'm attempting to help DavPul. Despite my explosive perfection, lifting people up and rising them to my ranks takes 1-on-1 attention. Now wait your turn.
  • Part of the perfection........hard work, thanks for noticing.
  • Being a perfect person already, I am often called upon to be an example for others, so I greatly appreciate you admitting your faults and asking for my tutelage. That was a brave first step, and for only $19.99, you can get the next tape in my 37 step series to unlocking the perfection within you.
  • Wow, it isn't a matter of one end of the spectrum or the other. It just seemed like such a "poo on you" comment.......trust me, I'm a member of the "poo on you" comment club, so I know one when I see one. 500 calories, no, not at all.......but perhaps something more helpful than "It won't matter."
  • Beachbody Challenge?
  • I tend to wear a HRM, but I also do my strength training in a circuit training manner.......quick transitions from one move to the next. I will do a particular move for 45 seconds on, with a 15 second transition, and a 1 minute break after every 7 moves. If I'm just doing straight strength training, as opposed to circuit…
  • I tend to skip Alpha. It just always seemed to be a waste, unless I had not worked out for a while. If that was the case, I would do Alpha just for a week or two as a way of transitioning into Beta and Gamma. If I'm in a normal workout cycle, I would just jump right into Beta and Gamma
  • It was interesting how my circle of friends changed (and how much money I saved) when I chose to not be a drinker. My conversations start intelligent, and remain intelligent throughout the night, as opposed to the steady degradation of coherence I experienced previously. I'm already quite adept at acting like an *kitten*…
  • Go ahead and cross off MFP and move to the next step in the Beachbody Coach Training Manual.
  • The bubbly friend of the female lead who always wants to go out, have a good time, and enjoy life.
  • Anytime ninerbuff checks in, I know I'm going to be learning something. Even as a fan of the Arizona Cardinals, I fight the urge to lob friendly insults, and will instead grab my pad and pencil to take notes (something the Niners forgot to do this year).
  • Thanks for the update, and my apologies for sharing old "wive's tales". Nonetheless, adding muscle does have a greater benefit for losing weight and maintaining that loss over the long term than cardio, even if it is incremental. What I usually tell people.......do what you are comfortable with, do what you can sustain,…
  • I agree and disagree. One pound of muscle will burn approximately 50 calories a day just in the process of maintaining its existence. If you add just one pound of muscle, your body will burn at least (but probably more than) an extra 1,500 calories a month. Yes, that seems small, but imagine if you add 5 pounds of…
  • (In a certain light) David Arquette stunt double.
  • Beachbody Challenge Group, I assume?
