One - Take it as you see it.....either no where to go but up....or at the top...lol

Not sure of the answer here as I'm still researching Kettle ball stuff. I do have a book I'm reading. I can't give you an educated answer yet....but I do try and alternate exercises that constrict a muscle with ones that stretch it out. I do this in the gym all the time because it "feels good" An simple example would be a…

Do our eyes need to be open? Crush for sure!

I have to say I agree with Matt here. I'm not a professional in this area, but I've read a lot of scientific literature about this area. More than most of you want to know. I can quote glycogen storage amounts, burn rates, benefits of carb loading in athelete runners...yada yada....I've also read a lot about dieting, I'm…

Holy F#*$ Cow! ......SIMPLY AMAZING.....MAR__VA___LAS! AWESOME STUFF DUDE! and a lot of hard work! Congradulations on your loss. Congradulations on your determination. Congradulation on your RESULTS.

This is an excellent question my dear friend. The truth is we don't know the answer. If you want to eat more, in general, you'll need to up your activity level. This will provide a cushion so that you can eat more. Many people I know exercise so they can eat more - as opposed for the cardiac benefit. Resistance training…

^5 [/quote] Agreed...just imagine if they liked you for being someone else! ? ! Worse huh?

Thanks for a Fun Friday Forum Thread: Actually, most of the folks on here are proud of what they have accomplished. Most want to show it off with good reason. I would bet most of the photos are real..and that they do look better in person! Are your arms longer? People here are dedicated to fitness and health. That's a good…

Ask you to show me your pedicure.

It took me 4 weeks to even get to the point where I could really do it (touch my elbows to knees) so don't give up! 10 min / 90 day Abs Do the first Six exercises for 30 seconds each. (that's 3 minutes) ....Do three sets (3 sets of 3 min is 9 min). There is one exercise at the end you do once. 1. Sit-up Crunches Lay on the…

Much here I agree with. Some I don't...but that's okay. Everyone has an opinion. I'll just tell you one quick story though. One of the patients I know of needs to lose weight and is quadraplegic. His base metabolic rate is so low that to do so the Dieticians feed him 900 cals a day. Now they are a healthy 900 cal per…

I am not an expert in this field...but I talk to many of them often...and I read a lot! I am in the medical field. I am also not a personal trainer or Preventive medicine and rehabilitation specialist or a sports physician....I only started training with Resistance 4 months ago...but again..I have very good people advising…

Again, part true, part not. Nice idea though. Like it. Just again not the way things really work. Okay...the first part of the statement is totally true as we know it. YOUR METABOLISM HAS SLOWED DOWN. Ding ding ding.......we have a winner. She is absolutely correct here. Recent studies suggest that when you start losing…

Hate to say it, but at face value this statement is both true and NOT. Truth is the eating more (especially if it is harder to digest - protein) will minimally increase your metabolism. The "UNTRUE" part of the statement is that this will raise your base metabolic rate enough to not only burn the extra calories you just…

Two things here......first..a normal protein intake is 1.0 grams of protein per Kilogram weight (1 kilo = 2.2 lbs). So that would be roughly half your weight. This figure should increase depending on the type of activity Aerobic 1.2 - 1.4 grams per kilo Resistance Training 1.4 - 1.8 grams per kilo Some people will tell you…

Checked out your profile photos and I'm surprised you didn't say "Ax me how I look?"

Gotta Love it...and I second the above....(but I'm partial)...and although I have lots of knowlege about many things..this isn't one of them...However...I will ask some friends of mine that have educated knowlege about this and get back to you. I am not sure about the elasticity of skin per se, but I believe that as listed…

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY: Seriously, I found a SALTER (COMPANY) Baker's Dream TM - Aquatronic Electronic Scale in the discount rack at Kroger's around Christmas time...HELLO. The price on it was 27.99 marked down from 39.99 (dollars). IT IS FANTASTIC. Weight Capacity is up to 11 lbs 1/8 ox (5kg 1g) and 175 fl oz x 1.8 fl oz…

Good Morning Everyone: Hope you are all out exercising or enjoying time with your family: I'm going to start this thread again - just in case there is anyone left that wants to say something fun, funny, or otherwise. This falls under the heading of: "WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?" The Worst Blind Date I Ever Had: So I meet this…

Don't Jack with ME! (Viewing of Profile Photo of Poster Required)

Okay..this one is just for laughs only: Worst Things to Say at the End of a Date when you enjoyed yourself and were looking forward to a Second Date - Perhaps I'll start a new thread some day on this idea. Date: Is that something hard in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Knucklehead: Neither.

Hope you are happily married....That was on a first date? Sounds like he knew you from before....Why was he asking exactly? Is this just a taboo thing guys should never ask? I would say it's probably true in the reverse too...

Did he steal someone elses lunch money or bucket when he lost? Just Sayin!

Why do I feel we need a drum roll and cymbal crash after this one! Ta dum!

Oh do tell....now I have to hear the end of the story! ....I have a feeling this is going to get good...lol

You totally Rock. Congradulations and stand proud! Now the work begins! RIght! So stay on track and lets get you ripped! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

Happy Holidays and Friday Evening to all of you. This thread is meant to help you start off your weekend with a chuckle. WHile some of the comments people make on a first date rank as the most ridiculous verbage to be spouted.....this forum is all about poking a little fun at those who said it and make the rest of us…

Note to Knucklehead: Funny Women Turn Me On! and I find it HOTT! Question to Knucklehead: "Where are you going with this thought exactly?"

Not as much as this will! (Step away from the vehicle). Just sayin. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods
