try crunchs or sit ups instead. calories burned have to do with time and effort. a 15 min workout on the body rocker will most likey not triple circuit training.the workout is too different,

I have to put a plug in for Tanita scales. My Dr uses one for body composition and I weigh the same there--after a 2 hr drive, fasting for bloodwork, as I do at home on mine. I am good with that. Also remember cheaper scales quite often are not well balanced. No idea what you paid, but the digitals that do composition tend…

I love Gilad. Nothing like a little eye candy as you work out. I have one video that I recorded onto DVD--my machine will do that. Can't remember the title, but his mother is one of the people in it. Have no idea if that is normal or not, but it impressed me.

Very impressive. I walk 5 days a week and play ice hockey. I tried running some on Sunday and it did not go well. I could go for 30 seconds at a time. I only did that 4 times during my walk. The last 2 times I about caused a full on asthma attack--partly due to air conditions. I felt like I was running in pea soup it was…

Cleaning is a viable exercise. It is movement you would not have normally done. If walking is part of the daily routine, it is right to consider that when you choose your activity level. Different people have different needs. I count gardening--if I am working hard (clearing brush, turning ground, etc.). I don't count…

I agree with the heat compresses, NSAIDs and the possibility of a stress fracture. You didn't say how high on your shin, but I have a suspicion this may actually be a muscle bruise as well. This takes time to heal--up to a week or more. What does this mean? It means you have to cut back on intensity, and possibly time.…

feel free to add me too. You are obviously a fighter.

I suggest getting a bento box lunch system (google it). Get it all together the night before and go ahead and log it. Have your breakfast determined and ready to go as well. have it all logged. The only variable you have to worry about just then is dinner. Do this every evening before bed. You won't have to rush in the AM…

Well, she has made her choice to NOT be healthy. If she tries to side track you in the future, ex invites you to join the fast food group, just tell her, "thanks, but no. I decided this morning what I was eating for lunch, and I am really looking forward to it . Thanks though." Leave it at that. Of course, you could be…

Very fun news. Now think about it, you have been working on core body--you know, those muscles that suck in the gut and, well, are the butt. Just shows how good you are doing... ......and why don't you think he was hitting on you? Maybe it was the first step. He knows you are there, maybe he will join you for lunch or…

Why is it people can't understand thing like that are simply aids. You still have to make the choice not to eat something else, you still do the exercise, you do all the work. If not, we could all simply drink a "diet" drink, make no other changes, and suddenly be thin (how most see it). I say, you are using it as an aid…

I agree with the general consensus. The best time to work out is whatever time is best for you. When I was working, I worked out mainly right after I got home from work. Now, since I am unemployed again, I work out 1st thing in the morning. It gets me up and out of bed and is helping combat the depression I normally fall…

If your goal is 1470,work to achieve that. If you want to eat the exercise calories back, you can. If not, you will lose faster. Due to my gastric bypass, I have difficulty eating 1200Kcals a day--my goal. In order to do that, I end up having to have desert EVERY night. I actually don't like that. Today I am struggling to…

Welcome Paul. I am 7 yrs out from a Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y), so I am quite familiar with low carb and low cal. It would be my pleasure to bounce ideas back and forth.

have you used them before--sounds like it. Which do you prefer? The one you like the most is the one you will use more.

women have been presented with unrealistic examples of what we should look like for our entire lives. Heck, look at my profile pic and it is easy to see I am not a raving beauty--which is good because putting a dress and heals on after a hockey game is just not comfortable (insert chuckle now). Seriously. You are fighting…

sounds like he is a fan of the "scream at you, constantly in your face, kill you" methods as seen on TV. UGH! I would let him know that, while you want to be pushed, he now knows what makes you sick and you won't put your body through that again--elite athlete is one thing, trying to improve overall health is another all…

I have a sportline. Ran $120 at Dic-'s. http://www.sportline.com/products/heart-rate-monitors/duo-1060-heartrate-mens.html I started out with the women's but it didn't function well, so I returned it and decided to go with a men's instead. The watch is bigger and I can read it much better. Oh, they offered a warranty on…

core body exercises that work all the abs. Planks, Lunges and Squats as well as resistance work. For resistance, stand in a squat position (feet shoulder width apart, knees best @2" over feet) clasp hands in front of you with arms straight in front, but don't lock your elbows. have a partner try to push on your arms to…

don't know who came up with the pee test, but the idea of lemonaid yellow being hydrated....don't think so. Directions from my Nut, if you can see it easily, you need more water. If is smells, you need more water. For me, 1st thing in the AM is lemondaid yellow, and I am thirsty as can be since I haven't drunk anything in…

Proper hydration keeps you body functioning properly. All of your organs, muscles, etc need water, but when you don't have enough fluids, the most important areas pull it from your less important. That mean your kidneys draw more fluid to them. That can mean your liver doesn't get enough fluid. If it can't get enough…

Try a grilled chicken breast with tomatilla (sp) sauce and grilled veggies. You can also do fajitas and just not eat the tortilla.

water aerobics is one of the best things you can do. You can try skating, but I am not sure how you would fair. I had my meniscus scoped out in '97 and it really needs it again. I also tried destroying both ACL's when I was younger, so I get knee pain. You may not be ready for a replacement, but in terms of being…

I use the recipe function. Add everything in. Figure out how many servings, and it calculates things for you. Now the trick is to only have that serving. Another trick is to make individual pies--in this case. If you want 8 servings, use 8 bowls/ramekins to divvy it up and then cook it. You will have to watch it a bit…

Keeping in the back of your mind that you will gain it back eventually is actually self defeating. If you have a bad day, or see the scale go up once (even thought it could well be muscle gain or simple water retention), you can always say to yourself, "I knew I would fail." Also, DIET is not a bad word. It is a misused…

so, mine has my high from when i had bariatric surgery 7 yrs ago. my sw for mft is only 11lbs ago. i use it as motivation to see how far i have come. you earned thoss lbs. use them. btw, caps are hard when using one hand and holding your cereal bowl in the othet. please excuse not using them.

What I do is go in and pull the % down until it matches as best as possible. My fats are really high as a result because Carbs and Protein are my main concerns. I just try to keep fats where I know they should be.

another idea is to freeze the pears until you have enough to make pear butter.

sounds like eating has become a psychological addiction for him. Like any addiction, until he wants to end it (or in this case revamp it to be healthy) he won't. Banning food or bribery won't work. A therapist is a good idea, but unless he wants to change it is money thrown away. There are facilities that help youngsters…
