Thank you for posting your story. It is simply amazing how, at any age you can go and achieve the body you want. Needless to say, you look much younger now, too!! Keep up the good work.

Is that what I need to do to win next season?

Wow sounds a lot like me, and still 26 years later, I struggle - although I can say I am in remission and keep my weight since 13 years BMI 19. IT can hide for years just to get back at you when you are in a sensitive spot (it went away for a total of 4 years - and I gained a bunch of weight). Going on a "Diet" is a bad…

I totally like BCAA and Kre-Alkalyn Pre work out for sessions over 2 hours (1 hour cardio) (and then lifting). I feel totally energized, like I didn't need to stop. Maybe try it out for yourself. Everybody is different.

My fat is high on occasion, and I don't mind. I usually try to eat healthy fats such as omega 3, unsaturated fats. Fat is only not used as immediately ready fuel for workouts, such as e.g. carbs. In my experience, it is not the amount of each macro that makes you gain fat, it's the overall cals. Cal in v cal out. Everybody…

Will add him, too

I didn't think they were super hard. I did them again today, in class.

I use kre-alkalyne to recover and have more energy I am able to work out longer and more strenuous and as a result, I have become a little bulkier (which I don't like, btw) I take 5 mg 1 hour pre and 1 hour post work out, only at times when I am fatigue and work out. I did not pre load, I only take if needed for more…

I did it, but modified burpees - reverse ones with hop into a squat and then a jumping jack. We did 1 minute. I have no idea how many...

We did it in class for 1 minute. I loved it!! Great ab work out. You can go fast or slow.

I'll try them out in class tonight. I aim for 1 minute burpees - not modified 6 counts with a push up.

"Hip bridge" is another good one as Chris suggested. You can add heavy dumbells or a bar bell which rests on your hip (bones). Alternatives are left foot over right knee or left leg straight, knee level and you bridge up and down on one leg. Very popular in class, hehe. I often use the big ball to do butt up and push to…

Dog on hydrant - one of my favorites!!! I call it male unneutered dog goes pipi on the tree, hehe. You can add 16 knee to chins in that position and 16 straight kicks (kind of like a round house kick) - head high. Start with 3 min each leg. That should do it. I haven't named the other two exercises but I want to use a…

instead of stiffed legged dead lifts, try squatted ones. You can alternate with the squatted ones (If you like to squat) I personally don't squat or deadlift, at least not with a ton of weight bc of knee impact and low back wear. But I have plenty of good ones for a nice butt if you want to get into it, let me know.

butt farther back while squatting. I have great butt - floor work outs. One is in "doggie position" with weights on legs (ankle or knee). leg raises, lateral raises , knee to chin and kicks.

This is what I posted five months ago and it explains my situation before. I am on Prozac now since 5 months - this is when I finally admitted I have BN, and it has dramatically bettered my position although, I would say I am in remission now, I am still who I am. A person with tendencies toward the extreme in life. One…

You, sinclare and aehartley and, of course, Prozac. Peanut Butter, packed lunches and shifting the addiction towards extreme work outs and reading books. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to shift my addiction to play with the kid on the playground :( It is still in my head sometimes all day long but I try not to give in, hard…

ok, I got it - even though, I had to look it up - buy would add this: one can then only hope that this exercise would last longer than 6-11 times... hehe

Q & Chris: Ok, what did I miss? Where was the joke? English = my second language!! So you have to explain to me what the even harder push up consists of... You can do it in German, too but you might get blocked because the moderators can only handle English...

I looked at the video, I'm not even gonna try, I can't hold my arm over head like this: standing - let alone in a push up.. It sucks getting old, hehe

same to you. Awesome work day in and day out,,,!!!

Chris, that is totally insane. You could use me as a kettle bell, I'm the weight you lifted. but you need a wide reach as I am tall,.. hehe.

You really start standing and then you proceed to go down in a simple push up once you come up from the push up you would jump into a squat (hands off floor makes it harder, i.e. you need to push with an oompf from the push up down position into the squat - kind of explosive). then you simply stand up into a standing…

And then another real popular one is: plank then - up up down down from elbows to hands and vice versa. Try this one for 1 min.

Here is one from my class: 1 min do "reverse burpee - jumping jacks" its basically a push up - hop into a squat - get up and one jack. And so on. I don't know how to describe it any better.

I leaned out with just trying to do 1 g protein per kg and now I'm up to trying 2 g per kg bodyweight complete (not pound). I calculated my lean mass as being 122 p (I'm 5' 11) and I aim for this in gram protein.Initially, before maintenance, a weight loss goal of 0.5 p a week and hitting macros as close as possible worked…

<--- this is from just now after teaching 2 hours (sculpt and kickboxing). I need to go and drink my creatrine now.

Awesome, congratulations on your first long one. The weird thing is to yell and correct people and taking breaks does not make you HR go down. Whether or not I participate fully, I get the same burn. I burn even more, if I have to track 2 groups in my class. But that one stresses me out, too. And I'm in for the pure fun…

that's right, and if I don't work out or do something in connection with it, I work to pay the bills, hehe

I read the AfAA magazine and do the continuing ED. But I'm interested in all kinds of topics for myself or my participants of group ex. E.g. I sometimes look at Mens' muscle magazine, books re strength anatomy and group ex utilizing fitball or bosu, etc.. I read the Lyle McDonal UD 2 (very interesting). Right now I read a…
