You can up it, but do it more slowly. Add in one or two days per week right now, and you can always go up from there. Maybe a shorter jog on your "off days." Also, instead of 6 days per week as your ultimate goal, how about 5? Your body needs recovery days. Believe me, I'm sitting here today jittery as heck because I only…

A little different, but, Krispy Kreme is directly across from my gym. BAD! Sometimes, after a heavy sweat, that sugar smells SO good! I use to completely undo my workout by grabbing two of them on the way home. That's like, a full days worth of calories in JUST donuts! Oh boy.

Hi didn't want me to copy and paste, I guess he wants to see it straight from the website. I'll just print instead of bothering with a bunch of screen shots.

Wow, complicated. I guess I'll just trek down to the computer lab and print it after class (we had the option to turn in a hard copy), then go run it up to his office. I'm not going to be the only student scrambling to pull it together!

We took our body measurements in weight training class, and we are checking them again in six weeks. It's not about your weight, it's about looking a feeling good. I could weight the same that I do now with more muscle and a smaller waist line and be perfectly happy. Buy a tape measure and look up online where you should…

Why not? Mall walkers count that they walk around the mall all day. I go to the gym and work my butt off hard core 5 days per week, why can't I count walking for hours at work? Not trying to argue, just trying to understand...

Have you considered joining a gym? My gym has a FREE weight lifting program where they help you monitor your lifting and help you increase reps/weights appropriately. They also show you have to use machines safely. If your like I was (and it sounds like you are) you look at that weight and don't have any clue as to why it…

When I do squats, I normally don't hold weights. I do, however, sometimes use the squat rack which is 45 pounds evenly distributed on my shoulders. I have done it holding 15 pounds in the past in a cardio strengthening intervol class, though I'd probably up that now that I'm a little more fit :)

I am taking weight training and a fitness class in school, five days a week. Both use weights, so my coach recommended that I do lower body (legs) every other day, with the upper body obviously on the other days. This is a little different from the students who are only taking one class, who do their entire bodies every…

Do I just type strength training and put the time I spent doing it? I feel like that would provide a really inaccurate number of cals, I mean, I could be really challenging myself or half a**ing it in the weights room. I challenge myself, but how would it know?

Are you looking for a meal replacement shake or a protein shake?

Hey there, I'm wondering if you lifted every day? The gym I go to recommends lifting every other day and doing cardio on the days you don't lift. They also recommend taking one of two days "off" every week. I'm an all or nothing type of girl, so I desperately want to lift every day, but that's not recommended. What did you…

I started my gym membership/working out last September. I am 24 and a student, I took all online classes over the summer, my intention was to spend the summer hiking and going to the dog park, etc. When summer hit, it rained nearly every day, and I only got to the river three times, no hiking, dog park just a few times. I…
