Good luck to you.

Backpack---way different. not only are you carrying more weight but the leverage is different and center of gravity makes it even more of an effort meaning more calories burned. FYI, At the end of the 3rd phase of Seal training, canidates have to wear a 40lb rucksack, run 14 miles in teams of about 8 while one team member…

Its not pushing 70lbs, lifting 70lbs from the ground means fighting resistence of gravity, If you had that weight on a prowlet sled then yes. that would be hard.the wheels reduce the resistence greatly, you did the right thing by recording as walking. At most you could add 25lbs to your BW in calculating to account for the…

I think your right, I am just amazed at everyone talikng about their HRMs. I'd like to know how many it's really helping, it just has "crutch" written all over it, but if it really helps, I'll leave it alone. I know it's imposible, but I'd like to see out of everyone using one, how many are winning the battle with their…

Very low resistence unless your doing alot of hills. Even then , those strollers are made to push easy, I would just record as doing it by your self.

You got it!, also the muscle gylcogen is burned out of your muscles and the body has to use fat as fuel.

Nope, I understood the sarcasm, and was giving it back. I am a trainer, i point out what people could be doing wrong, to help them. I lost 105lbs in 95' it's mind set that gets weight lost. If you don't want solid advice don't listen to me.

Sounds like good advice, plus you should learn how to adjust the belt when it gets loose, My fiance runs on hers and kills the belt, this happens alot on cheaper home TMs. the ones in the clubs cost $5000+ and don't need the maintainence as much. Keep it clean so dust does not get into the gears and get allen wrenches to…

If you are asking about special shoes that fit orthotics, mine fit in most all different shoes. bring them when your buying to put them in when trying on new pairs.

Good luck

And congrats on your lost weight so far, there is no magic program to get you motivated, just hit it, and try to make a game of it by trying to increase either weight or reps every time you lift.

If you only have two days of weights, you have to bust your *kitten*, no matter if it's crossfit type or a BBing program. You won't gain anything if you skip a day or two.

The only time I lost alot of mass was when I did a keto diet for a show, shrank big time. The other times with a more zone typ diet, I hardly lost any mass. PS I'm was natural.

Depends on genetics, you could be putting on muscle very quickly, making the scale appear slow in its decrease. Or your metabolism could be slowing, If your seeing steady progress, keep doing what your doing, you may have to increase your kcals soon.

Actually that is a really good outlook. I guess if it helps your mind then do it. But I have seen on here a few people who state some insane caloreis burned, because they are wearing them at inappropriate times.

I've nevver seen a competetion bodybuilder wear one of those things, and we get down to 5% bodyfat, just saying.

I'll add to that, It depends on your size of coarse, are you 105lbs? no then 1200kcals long term will result in a metabolic drop, your body temp will lower and you will burn less calories than that 1200, that will suck, and yes you program your body to store as much fuel as possible, thats why people with eating disorders…

Stay motivated, My fiance has been dieting for more than a year now and is making slow progress, I'm so proud, especially since she should have lost 120lbs the way she diets and exercises but she has a horrible metabolism that slows down fast and has only lost about 60lbs. She is now totally into the lifestyle. She has put…

Just like the latest theory for core training--anti-flexion and anti-rotation (the docs say its better to keep the spine stabilized) , you really shouldn't be rolling your neck around much, just gentle stretching, then strength training if desired.

Start now!, more muscle=more fat burning and lifting burns alot of calories, It will give shape to your body since the fat is coming off. Remember to do your cardio after the weights, the lifting will burm muscle glycogen and the only fuel left to use after that for cardio is fat. Split the body up a little and you can…

As yoga ruuner said its diet that makes abs show, but you can develop them really well by using planks, short range crunches (situps are out, too much spinal flexion) get good at the ab wheel, it works them hard, and as an anti-flexion exercise, side planks arte about best for obliques. And don't train them every day…

I'm in the dark about Insanity, id it a form of cardio program? If it's like PX90 then doing the big three lifts will fit fine into the week, there won't be alot of micro-tramua to the muscles if the program is like that, so you can afford the powerlifting moves, they will actually be low danage if you are kepp the reps…

bootcamp is plain old cardio so just enter the time

Yes DB is dumbells

She will get ther, she is great at recording her marcos on here, lots of plateus though, her metabolism drops in a week of dieting. Did keto like dieting to get the first 40lbs off, then we switched it to more of a zone like mix 40%carb, 40%pro, 20%fat and she put on more muscle and the scale didn't budge, (even though she…

I did alot of the "Bar" method when I was younger.

She is going for a certain look, like a figure competitor/fitness comp, very lean very muscular, not bodybuilder muscular but like Trish Warren http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Actv2-8fBL4&feature=related

Hope that makes more sense now re formatted. Oh, she has been getting mad at me lately since I get to go in and train her personally, but she also loves it.
