Add me! I have a 8 and 2 year old

Uh.. Sound like you're out of shape. I use to be that way in middle school when first getting into sports. By high school I was off my inhaler (I was in way better shape).

You can target muscle groups... I do many core exercises and have developed a HIIT regimen from the ones I prefer. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/core-strength-your-ultimate-guide-to-core-training.html All I did was google what exercises would work my target group, YouTube it to ensure proper form, and practice it.

I drink low sodium V8. Loads of potassium

I've always thought you just had to work through them.

Detour Lean Muscle bars are one of the best I've seen. A lot of protein bars have gelatin in them (like muscle milk bars or pure protein). Remember, like any protein bar, these are meal replacements. The lean muscle bars have 32 grams of lean protein and most of the carbs in them are good for you.

Sit ups works more than just your abs; it works your back and sides as well ... That might be why you don't feel anything if you're use to the workout. hold weights to your chest if that's the case. I prefer push ups honestly. Planks are great but push ups strengthen your core AND arms at the same time. I believe it to be…

I prefer protein packs. If you bring a bottle of water and throw the powder in, it makes for a pretty filling snack.

Besides, your body can really absorb 30 grams of protein in one sitting so it's really how much of the shake you're drinking that you need to worry about if you're worried about the calories. Protein shakes normally only contain good carbs and fat so I wouldn't worry about them being "bad"

Protein helps with the repair of your muscles and is a great meal replacement when you're on the go. I'm currently only having a protein shake for breakfast and lunch (nothing else). If you're not over stuffing yourself and are getting adequate nutrition (vitamins if not from whole foods) then you're not really doing…

It;s your body telling you it's lacking in something. There are simple alternatives... This might help: http://www.naturopathyworks.com/pages/cravings.php

If you're a pear shape, those are the places that are hardest to lose. I found out by my doctor that having a good amount of stress can often cause those areas to retain fat and that doing isolating workouts doesn't actually help. Take up something that is stress relieving like yoga/meditation, or just take up a hobby…

I only say wear one because there isn't just one answer. Some days I want to be lazy in bed and others I'm very active. If you're that curious and want it to be accurate, "sexy" has nothing to do with it. Besides, tracking sex calories is like tracking the calories you burn when you sleep, thus why it's not in the database.

If it regularly tracks your heart rate, it'll be a bit more accurate AND if you put in your weight, age, e tc. It might be off by a couple of calories. Nothing, minus a HRM, is going to be exact.

Wear an HRM and track it that way.

Wear an HRM and track it that way.

Cold muscles are more prone to injury than are warm muscles. How is it that you've gotten away with not doing ANY cardio?

We are one in the same. :P

I love the yoga videos. I often try to do them with a friend of mine.

I have to wear a splint on my left arm for 3 weeks because I severed a nerve in my pinky in the most ridiculous way (had surgery and everything). I was going to the gym and lifting what weights I could (I limit my arm exercises but everything else is fair game). I had a couple of people come up to me during my work outs…

Awesome

Baby steps. You seem to know what you're doing wrong. There are little things you can do: not buy junky type food, set smaller or shorter term weight loss goals to achieve, and take the exercise thing one day at a time. It's all about willpower and if you want it bad enough.

I eat 800 calories a day and I'm fine.. Calories isn't the only factor in diet.. Good carbs and protein matter as well. If you're low in calories and high in carbs then most people don't feel the need to eat more. Besides, it's actually worse for you to binge eat (stuff yourself) because that WILL make you gain weight.…

There is no such thing as starvation mode... It's a myth. Eat when you're hungry only until you're not hungry. If you're not getting headaches or feeling hungry then don't worry about eating anything back.

It can take a while for your body to get use to it. Each time you go out for a run, try to do better than the last time you ran. If you do 30 seconds of running and 3 minutes of walking the first time, try running 45 seconds and walking 2:30 minutes, so on and so forth. Also training for events helped me. I signed up to do…

Calm down killer. I use to have that same problem in high school when I did cross country. My doctor told me to start breathing with my diaphragm. It's not degrading. It helped me so I passed it along.

I couldn't agree more. I think the first time I stopped thinking about things was when I ran double my distance without even thinking about it.

Really? That surprises me based on the information you're giving out in this forum. It sounds like you don't have a strong diaphragm. I'm guessing you breath with your chest?

You actually don't burn much more calories.. Maybe 10-12 more during you're whole workout; and think of the energy you're using to get that. Instead you can put that into your speed and probably get even more out of the workout in general.
