Also time on a stationary bike will help... set the resistance high and keep the pace around 90 rpm, make it burn 15 minutes should be plenty as long as you keep the rpms at 90

A woman at my gym has the most awesome silhouette... she does hip thrusts with a barbell loaded with 305 lbs... she also kills it on the stairmaster and a stepper machine for 1/2 hour at a time...walking lunges will help as will a few variations of squats... to ad mass takes a lot of heavy lifting... lady I worked with 5-1…

People share their opinions of you... WITH you? That's an interesting dynamic... do you likewise share your opinion of them with them? Of course opinions change with circumstance. if you are hearing these opinions from a secondary source, perhaps you ought to question the motives of the person sharing said opinions.

A pound here or there isn't a problem... if you weigh in daily... take the average once a week

Mo such thing as too much cardio... for some confidence get a body composition read out of fat v lean muscle mass... along with resting heart rate... tdee... if you are working on running a faster mile... then you are on the right track...

I had stopped smoking for 8 years... then while I was waiting for a biz meeting that kept getting pushed back 15 minutes... 30 minutes... an hour... I wandered into a cigar store... now I am blowing a small fortune on cheap cigars

Me too, cigars... about a month ago

See a doctor

To see significant gains... 3-5 hours of cardio and an equal amount of lifting/ week

Eat healthy, strength train and do moderate cardio... and you will lose fat... retain your current muscle... you may not see the scale move... so take measurements... also get on the foam roller band wagon... that may help smooth out the appearance of your skin

Yes please

I pick the Raven... or maybe it picked me.

Lift heavy... safely... increase protein, increase calories if you want to build muscle... more muscle will help burn fat... it takes months and sometimes years to get to the tipping point where you will eventually look in the mirror and say s hit I look awesome... work your program in 12 week increments... take…

Elliptical is a xc skiing motion... as long as you engage in some flexibility work in your workout... stress or repetitive injuries can be avoided... I personally toss a towel over the read out and let my body dictate the pace... Treadmill is a high impact machine... and the heavier you are the higher the impact and the…

Yeah I am just tired and bored with my self hey there baby...

You will adapt and accept the pain as a normal part of your life... eventually you will wonder what you have been doing wrong because it doesn't hurt... of course... the first is the worst... a personal reminder of what you will be in for if you combine too many rest days in a row ( no more than 3... unless injured or…

I vote for bladder cancer

Dieting... ie.. calorie reduction... losing fat...losing weight... just like you can't spot reduce, your body is indiscriminate about where the weight comes from.. so... you can lose fat... but you will also lose muscle mass if you are not feeding yourself an appropriate level of calories. Forget weight and focus on body…

So... umm... you don't... uh... consider yourself people? Or you umm think what you just wrote isn't pious?

Replace the time you are sitting in front of the tv eating chips with exercise... new to fitness? Start with low impact cardio... stationary bike will probably be best with the plantar fasciitis... start with 10 minutes... keep the rpms above 80... 3x/week... get a gym rep to give you an orientation on the lifting…

Start with low impact cardio... it isn't as glamorous as lifting... but... it will help you get in the habit of going and help establish the routine... low impact cardio = elliptical; cross trainer; stationary bike; etc. Strive for 20-30 minute sessions... as it gets easier increase the levels... in the meantime talk to…

Also switching your routine up... diing the same thing over and ovef expecting different results is???... I would also suggest checking out a gym for a body composition analysis... fat% vs. Lean muscle mass%... switching your routine up... find other ways of getting your sweat on... ditch the bike... climb some hills...…

It's unreasonable... and anyone who would consider a date after such a request would be an asshat wearing socially inept doofus

I imagine if you put the leaves in a low temp oven...say 120 degrees for 4-6 hours... the nice thing about a dehydrator is the shelf space mine accommodates 5 shelves. They are not that expensive... and are great for all kinds of fud

Recently discovered that you can dehydrate all sorts of leafy greens, kale, spinach, dandelion greens... a friend is growing pumpkin... and yes... pumpkin leaves... dry them out toss them into a blender or food processor... grind them up and boom... healthy nutritious green powder that you can add to any recipe... y'all…

Bone broth = soup stock... if soup is a regular part of your diet then ummm figure it out... as many animals as we consume beef, pork, chicken, lamb/ mutton, various fish, etc. People have been boiling and rendering the marrow since we crawled into caves and made use of fire. Of course you don't need chunks of an animal…

Depends on how heavy your clothes are and what you got in your purse

Start with more cardio... use the different machines... elliptical, stationary bike (not recumbent)... avoid the treadmill for now... talk to a doctor to make sure cardio training is okay... avoid high impact... a good cardio program will help strengthen your legs, and the soft tissue in the lower body... it will increase…

I am alone and bored...
