  • It depends on what type of exercise you do, but should have some smal amount of protein along with a natural carbohydrate to replenish your system. Along with lots of water. Stay away from things that come in a can, like the sports drinks, gatorade, etc. They have a lot of sugar and HFCS which add not only empty calories,…

  • Strength training can also be resistance work such as dips, sit ups, plank and push ups (even modified). Check out either the app or online the website Everyday Health. They have a great set of exercises you can do (and I do) in my living room. It's the same stuff you would do in yoga, with a trainer at a gym, etc. If you…

  • Congratulations on the exercise you are doing! However, I agree your calorie intake is too low. I would shoot for 1500 calories intake per day, or more depending on the other exercise you get.This should bring your net above 1200. I am guilty of the same thing.

  • I also had to cut back long distance running due to injuries. I just completed a 6.2 mile mud run in September using a similar boot camp training program to the PX90.
