If you have stairs with room at the bottom, use them. Start at the 5th stair or so. Do sets at that stair until you feel strong enough to try the next stair. Keep progressing til your on the floor.

What is your educational background? What is your actual job title currently? My daughter is a sophomore at an Oregon university studying nutrition and plans to be a dietitian also. She wants to minor in, or double major in an exercise science also. She has been told that this is an uncommon combination of degrees. Just…

My sister was having episodes of tachycardia. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt like she was exercising, but she was not. She died from a sudden cardiac death at age 41. Please get another opinion.

We have a chinchilla. She doesn't have a tail. She was being born breech and her mama tried to pull her out by the tail and bit it off;(. Her name is Bunny, because of her little stubby tail.

My kids are beyond that age now, but the laws changed back when they were in early elementary school. Our school district quit allowing parent drivers after that. It was too much of a liability, because even though it was now a law, many parents didn't go out and buy boosters for their kids that had been out of car seats…

Baked macaroni and cheese. Definitely not low cal, but so good!!

Go to a running shoe store, not one of those big box sporting goods stores. The salesperson should ask you what kind of running/ walking you do. Make sure you are wearing your old shoes when you go. Try to have already done a walk/run when you go in because your feet will be at their largest size after a work out. A good…

Have you had it checked out by a Dr or physical therapist? Not all shin pain is shin splints. My son had shin pain and was diagnosed with tendonitis and was caused by a weakness in his hips and the muscles not working together properly causing the pain. I would go to a sports medicine Dr not a regular MD, or get a referral…

I have this problem also. Usually, it's only bothersome at long distances. It goes away quickly after I'm done. I take my rings off before long walks, then its not as troubling.

1. In walking clinics that I have taken, they say it shouldn't matter how tall or short you are when it comes to speed. 2. If you look in the fitness section on MFP under walking 5 MPH or running/jogging 5MPH you burn the same amount of calories, at least at my weight thats true. 3. Back when I was fitter/weighed less,…
