wow really inspiring! Great job!

please add me. It's motivating for me to see friends post their status updates every day!

yeap, that's a good ratio. Although I prefer 50/30/20. However it's hard to get that much protein from whole foods without supplementing with protein powder.

I think it depends on the weight resistance. Heavy deadlifts & squats get my heart rate in the 140's pretty easily.

Run against traffic. It's safer, you can see the cars coming towards you and it will solve your *kitten* problem.

seriously, get one of the P90x workout programs. It will teach you proper form for many types of lifts. It will show you many exercises that can be done using your body weight. it will teach you how modify your lifts so that you engage your core if you so choose. it will teach you basic stretching and warming up. It'll…

Some people will tell you that it doesn't matter when and others will tell you right after your workout. It's up to you to decide for yourself.

for me the key to eating right and exercising is to find motivation wherever I can. If I were you I'd use that negative attention that you're getting to drive me towards your goals. Another thing to remember is that psychologically it's incredibly difficult to eat clean all the time, so give yourself a one or two cheat…

Mississauga over here!

people say this because it's easier to put down that krispy kreme donut rather than to ride that stationary bike. That said, the approach that will get you the fastest result is to exercise and moderate your caloric intake.

only after you attempt to, and are successful in getting below 10% BF you have the right to dismiss the amount of discipline that it takes to achieve that goal.

using heavy weights may or may not be that important. It all depends on what your fitness goals are. It also depends on how you use that weight. Even 3lbs can bring you to your knees if used properly. Try doing 50 weighted circles and those 3lb weights will feel like 300lbs very quickly.

You don't need equipment. There are plenty of bodyweight exercises that will work your upper/lower body (Youtube is your friend). The key is consistency. If you eat clean and work out consistently you can and will be more fit than 90% of people in the gym. I have seen this first hand. And no, lifting is not bad for women.…

Hey that's great that you've decided to make a change for the best. The hardest thing about keeping fit is finding the motivation to do so. Sometimes things happen in our lives that jolt us onto this path. When that happens we seem to have oodles and oodles of motivation. In some cases it lasts weeks and months and…

eat when you are hungry. don't over eat.

I just got one about a week ago. Interesting to know how many steps you take on any given day,. I hit 11,000+ yesterday alone just walking my pup a few times.

Always looking for that extra bump in motivation and stay active, feel free to add me if you're in the same boat :)

just got back from europe 3 weeks ago. I went to: Barcelona, Monaco, Nice, Villefranche, Civitavecchia, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Livorno, Venice, Naples, Positano, Capri, Mykonos, Athens, Dubrovnik, Santorini, Ephesus and Kusadasi. In October I'll be going to Riviera Maya, Mexico. Then over the Christmas holiday's I'll be in…

The article notwithstanding, I don't see a problem with taking in 1200 calories for a finite amount of time as long as your doctor has no issue with it. All this is going to do is force your body to burn whatever is in your glycogen store, fat, protein, etc forcing you to drop in weight. Of course your metabolism should…

when it comes to squatting there is no 'one size fits all' posture. Everyone has a different hip anatomy (ie. the plane and angle at which the femur attaches to the pelvis socket). Some people squat narrow, some wide and some in-between. You have to figure out what position at the bottom is most comfortable for you (i.e.…

my drinking consists of the occasional dram of single malt. A glass or 2 of red wine during the week with meals. And the odd shot of tequlia for special occasions. It's all about moderation.

I've been using the fitbit one for about a week. I find it helpful in tracking my activity and sleep. Its also a good motivator.

Deadlifts are a great full-body compound lift. The only problem is that they require a lot of technique and if not properly executed can lead to back injuries. If possible, I recommend you deadlift with a Hex bar. it effectively distributes your load more on your legs and less on your back reducing the potential for…
