  • I have been working out around 11 at lunch time, which is nice i dont have to get up early and I dont have to worry about it taking time in the afternoon. It also helps that there is a gym at my work...
  • how long before your runs do you eat or drink?
  • Well first find out what you hate about working out. Do you hate specific routines, ie running, walking, using weights, taking time to go to the gym. For me, I hate running. I love short distance sprinting, i love walks, I hate long distance runs. The biggest part for me is eliminating ALL excuses. Meaning the only thing…
  • I weight myself everyday, I like seeing how I fluctuate throughout the week. You can still have the same fluctuations weighing in weekly, you just dont know on what day it happened.
  • Considering that BMI is just a general gauge, I wouldnt worry about such a small difference. My ideal weight for me, is around 205, I am 5'11, which would put my BMI at the high end of Overweight. to get down to what would be considered 'healthy normal weight' I would need to be below 178, which is a 27lb difference! Any…
  • I also work behind a computer all day. At the end of the day I feel tired and just want to go home and stare at the wall, but I now know that if I force myself to go exercise, I lose that tired feeling and get the energy I need for the rest of the evening. Now, even though I am tired when I leave work, I look forward to…
  • I always know if I am getting dehydrated cause I get a headache. Its the only reason I get headaches. Extreme dehydration is the worst feeling I have ever felt, had to go to get an IV for fluids at the hospital. That consists of headaches, vomiting, nausea, cramping. I drink lots of water now, cause I am scared to be…
  • If p90x isnt enough cardio for you, you can do cardio AFTER and it will help your muscles recover faster. It will get the blood flowing to your muscles that carries the nutrients it needs to repair itself. Also just keep working through the fatigue, doing your workout the next day will shorten the fatigue time. It may be…
  • This thread hasnt been posted on in a while, but people still keep correcting others that say 'muscle weighs more than fat'. The OP stated that volume is irrelevant, which is incorrect. Everyones 'muscle weighs more than fat' statements are made in the context of fitness. If you were all fat, and the size of a prius, and I…
  • How do people rely on the muscle vs fat weight issue? I am curious on the thought process.
  • Everyone's body reacts a little differently. IF i get sore, I get sore 2 days after a workout. Rest is relative. During the day your muscles are not "at rest" they are just being used at a lower intensity. Intensity is a more proper term. Every other day is just a good rule of thumb because it is harder to balance…
  • I have the ft60 a little more expensive, but it is awesome. I dont even notice that I am wearing the chest strap. Mine has a few more bells and whistles that sets goals(weight loss, performance etc) for you each week and adjusts them accordingly based on the previous weeks results. It tells you how many calories to burn…
  • It depends on you a little bit. For me I have to keep track of EVERYTHING that I eat during the day. I have a goal calorie intake, and I tell myself I cant have anymore than that. I can give myself more calories by exercising. This helps me when I get those hungers like you are talking about. Cause I can tell myself, tough…
