“That this weight and body shape does not change who I am as a person. And that anyone who judges my appearance is not worth my time” Seems to me that of everything you wrote this is the most significant given you appear to be more judgemental about yourself than anyone else. I am reminded of this adage “ No matter where…

Running can be brutal on soft tissue unless you have done some work to lighten the impact (lost some weight) or strengthed the muscle around yout knees and ankles and back...for now if cardio is the foundation of your fitness effort go elliptical, stationary bike, rowing machine, arc trainer, or stairmaster. Weight…

Review illustrations that show which muscle groups are in play with the lifts you are undertaking, make sure you hit all the muscle groups, otherwise you can create an imbalance that will lead to an injury. Deads are a great exercise as long as you apply other lifts to hit all the muscle groups. Adding muscle or retaining…

For functional fitness have a look at sandbag workouts, for $100 bucks or less you can create some fantastic strength building and muscle endurance ( cardio) workouts, without needing a lot of storage space for the gear

If what is between the ears is attractive to me, then the skin covering her will be the finest silk on earth, but if she has feet like a harpy it’s over before it started

Here's a gooder, so...my neighbor down the street flashed her panty clad butt at me as I was getting in my truck... then as I drove by gave me the biggest smile

See a doctor, check your resting heart rate and your rate after an"episode "... also check your bp.

Stop looking for reasons to quit. Lots of folks live by this motto, " being fat and unhealthy is hard, being fit and healthy is hard... pick your hard"... I paraphrased... the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, keep at it... eventually you will look back and marvel at the journey

So... are you scholarly because of? Or inspite of? What path would you have found yourself on had it not been for the "terrible" assessment of your future? Sometimes the path we find ourselves on is a result of pain not pleasure

Cross fit will either turn you into a specimen of fitness, or lay you up with all sorts of injuries... i had a coworker who quit after 2 concussions, and she is a hard core fit freak. Be aware not all boxes are created equal. Get credentials from the trainers. That being said. Watch what crossfit athletes do, plenty of…

What all the other posters have written, fat reduction occurs across the entire body, and not just where you hope it will occur, and you should be prepared to live with excess skin at some point. Depending on how old you are it may shrink... i have not lost a lb... but I have lost inches from my waist. Take measurements…

Firstly, understand that your parents love you, what you got going on in your head is just a little self loathing, and their reality is different than what you feel is going on. If you haven't talked to them about how you perceive their interactions with you then how can they make the changes you feel they need to make? Be…

They have barbells and no rack to put it on? Work out B is all rack for me... although it doesn't have to be... depending on how much you are lifting you can probably get away with Dumbbells for a time. And even using the smith for a few months, talk to the gym reps and ask them if a rack is in their future... you can also…

Roast veggies... baking sheet... cube things like potato, carrots squashes, beets, turnips, sweet potatoes more colour means more nutrients, toss them in a bowl with salt, pepper, olive oil coat the baking sheet with olive oil bake at 375 until tender ( easily penetrated with a fork) now you got a tasty side to ho with…

If you are having breakfast after your morning workout I wouldn't worry I worked with a woman just like you except her alarm went off at 3:30... at 60 she can pass for 40

Have you observed people that should not be running? It isn't an inherent skill... stride, rhythm, skeletal structure all play a part in what defines a runner... get video tape of yourself running... observe people that appear to be good runners... compare, then see if you can emulate... if you can't... no biggie... I ran…

All planets, are enclosed snow globes with unique ecco systems, unique resources... some planets are billions of years older than our little blue marble... did you know that viruses don't meet our definition of "alive" and yet a virus can control its hosts... how about bacteria? There are literally as many and more species…

We are born... and what lay before us at that first gasp of breath are 10 000 paths forward... then we are shaped and molded by our circumstances, from those circumstances we define our meaning... the paths become fewer... the rights and wrongs we commit and which are committed upon us... further limit our paths... until…

My gym equipment at home is a great clothes hanger, at least that's what the wife thinks... so... I like the gym, I find that having to go somewhere to workout gives me more purpose, and there's a lot more inspiration there.
