That was very insightful and helpful! Actually discussed a lot of this yesterday with one of the other trainers. I know this type of activity will be intense and new for most of the members at the gym I'm in, but I'm hoping they find it as exhilarating as I do! I am more of a positive motivator and would never try to make…

Really...nobody?!?! So nervous...counting down the days!!!

Thanks for all the advice...I decided to just go to sleep! I just hate when that feeling becomes so overwhelming

I do this as well...can't eat a meal before a workout...makes me feel sick and slows me down! I generally do my routine around 9/10am, so it works well

No one!?!?!

Did you see that pile of bones in the yard as they walked them past toward that trailer....cannibals man! Rick said it right...they don't know who they're messing with!! :)

TWD is my obsession....I love that show! Season 4 finale was awesome!

Ray Donovan on Showtime...also Masters of Sex....can't wait for The Walking Dead to come back!!!!

LOL

I'm 39...but 50 would have to be my max...youngest 35 :)

Love it!!! Although, I'm not familiar with some terms you used...SL5x5, etc...I know BMR....and cardio best before or after lifting? I've had mixed answers on this...I generally do it before bc it seems to get me revved up to lift...I'm usually too worn to even think about cardio after weights. Also, I have been eating…

Following! This is my question exactly!! I have body fat to loose but want to gain muscle...I'm not new to lifting exercising, have seen change, but want to be leaner/stronger. If feel like its something to do with my intake!

I go pretty heavy in BP, I warm up using one lArge plate on each end, squat about 55, etc...I rarely use only the lower weights for anything alone...I really think it's my diet, but I try to eat more protein than carbs already....i use workout drink and do a protein shake right after...30 grams....really confused :(

Thanks!

I know there is no magic pill...proven with MFP there's only one way to get fit and loose excess weight...

That's hilarious!!!

Figured its a waste of $$ and time, but I recently had someone claim they lost 15lbs over 6 weeks while using...but since I've fallen for this stuff in the past, I am skeptical!

Lol...good one!!

Even if I'm only doing at 20 min 6.0 on the treadmill?

My cardio only days are INTENSE cardio...60-90 minutes. These days I'm lifting, I'm only doing 20-30 min prior-max! And it's only about half the intensity of my cardio only sessions. I don't feel too fatigued to lift doing it this way-I find it most productive-so maybe that's just what's best for me and my goals...thanks…

WOW!! Thanks for all the advice!! I'm by no means doing any crazy lifting...2 days a week I do a barbell class called BodyPump...I lift as heavy as possible without compromising my form. I have had good results with the class and a 3rd day of free weights on my own. I really just want to make sure that doing cardio first…

My goals are overall fitness...not for any other purpose than feeling good and being healthy. Great advice from all! I am going to try after just too see if I see an energy level difference during lifting...thanks!!!

I am only able to get to the gym 3-4 days a week....get there 5 on a VERY good week....I do just cardio 2 days and combine lifting with some cardio the other 2...doing it before gets me more amped for lifting, I guess that's why I do it....but if its physically better to do after, I will have to try it...

I have been doing body pump for over 2 years...great class!!! I always do 20-30 min of cardio before every class and I always leave my HRM on from the start of cardio to the end of pump. I burn anywhere from 400-550 cal from cardio thru pump (usually 200-250 in cardio, rest pump). Body pump is a very active form of weight…

I am no expert, but I have been exercising regularly for the past 20 years. I have found the best combination is a little cardio everyday (at least 30 min) AND some weight training. I take a class at the gym, called Body Pump, and it works all the muscle groups in one class...however I only do this class 2x/week...should…

Wonderful job!! Everyday is a challenge in life no matter what the world has us face!! Takes patience and determination which you obviously have! Are you in nursing school? Only ask bc of the scrubs...I have been a nurse for almost 16 years and LOVE it! Keep it up ;)

I always go by my HRM! Only time I use the site is when I forget to wear it :)

Hi Jboss!!! I was just about to post the same question...and then I saw your post! I just started crossfit about 2 weeks ago. I wear a heart rate/calorie monitor, so I know exact calorie burn based on my heart rate. I have tracked it here under aerobic, high impact because that seems to closley match my calorie burn…
