just start moving to warm up & they should go away.

Try using a heart rate monitor or researching the actual workout to see if there's a site to input body weight and time for the specific exercise.

The larger breakfast should help as well as eating smaller meals every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism going. Also increasing your water intake. Try starting the day w/16-32 ounces of water when you wake up & having a green apple to help with elimination.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Try detoxing to eliminate the cravings from your body.

I don't drink soda. But I've always known it makes you fat. I never understood why anyone would drink diet soda since it has an after taste. Also as someone said how do you order a HUGE burger & fries with a diet coke...

I think if you have 75+ lbs to lose you may need to eat a little more. Because your body needs more fuel. My personal goal is 45 lbs to get back to my 23-24 year weight and prepare for having a baby. I have a snack in between long workouts so that I don't get hungry. So on those days I do consume more than 1200. But the…

You can train to become a runner. You will lose weight if you make the necessary changes in your life w/diet, weight training & stretching as well. I practice yoga for my stretching w/marathon training. You may not see a drop in your weight if your diet doesn't change. But you will see major changes in the body when…

LMAO @ Don't tell the Kenyans!!! I have "completed" 2 full marathons and one half (so far). I don't know if genetics has anything to do w/the running. I believe it has to do w/the desire, discipline and training one takes to complete them. That's my belief w/anything. The overall discipline w/training will definitely…

LOL @ TOM!!! I never heard it referred as TOM!!! I push myself to do more cardio. The heat warms up my body & relieves the cramps if I feel like they may be coming. But I really only started getting cramps as I got older.

funny!!!

I would take it easy until race day since it's only a 5K. Take 20-25 minutes daily for maintenance and you should be fine.

1200 calories is a good number of calories if you do absolutely nothing. But if you workout you'll be starving if you consume less. Some days my calorie burn is 1200. No I don't eat 2400. But I do "try" to make smart choices & plan my meals. Because I do need extra food. So I try to eat more often more filling items like…

I have "completed" 2 full marathons. I won't say I ran them. The training I had for the 1st one(Honolulu 12/12/2010 7hrs 55 mins) was endurance training so they were focused on completion w/out injury. Both times there was extreme weather conditions so I walked the majority in order to complete. The 2nd was LA(3/20/2011…

Water & salad. If you must have it split it in half & eat salad w/each portion. Always drink more water if you eat badly early. Because you have time to fix it. Have you tried drinking any dieters tea or cleanses to release some of the junk out of your body? I hope this helps. How are your workouts going?

Start by planning to drink at least 1 gallon of water per day. Some health professionals suggest that we drink a minimum of half of our body weight. Drink green tea in the morning for energy and a metabolism boost. Eat salads w/dark green leafy lettuce & other fresh vegetables. Use olive oil & lemon juice w/pepper. Start…

Try practicing yoga to strengthen your knee. I have a reoccurring knee injury from many years ago that started bothering me right before a marathon. Too much extensive use on the treadmill & elliptical really irritated it. So I was only hiking and taking long walks outside + yoga for 6 weeks and I was able to run a 1/2…

It's a great purchase. I had one for years that I used for my warm up or to do circuit training in the house. I recently sold it to a friend who is a fitness trainer. They are also great for making small children tired. :)

Keep doing whatever you're doing!!!

The live classes are amazing!!! There's always so much sisterhood in the classes. You'd love them. The Teigh & Gillian remember everyone's name. They are just amazing. All though the videos are fun they don't compare to the live classes.

You can do it!!! Don't take the easy way out.

I'm Triana, I signed up for the Laila Ali Get Fit Challenge on 5/23. My goal is to lose 20 w/in the 8 week challenge. I have a total of 40lbs to lose and plan to do that by start of fall 2011. I'm very active. My diet has been my issue. This site w/the instruction from Laila is helping w/timing my meals and watching the…

welcome & "Let's do this!!!"

I haven't done it in years. But I have some of the DVD's. The Swerve Studio is here in LA. I used to take classes there years ago. Teigh & Gillian are the best. On that note maybe I need to make a visit w/them.
