Want to build a booty...
Hey y'all... I'm about to start a 4-week booty workout plan (with fitness blender) and want to make sure I do it properly. I currently do have a butt, but I am looking to really round it out, get a little firmer, and possibly lift it a little. While I do this, should I be eating at maintenance or at an increase since I'm…

Knees randomly started hurting...
So all my life whenever I've worked out I have been able to do squats, lunges, etc. Just recently, as in within the past 3 months or so, about half the time I am doing these things (specifically lunges seems to be the main culprit) it kills my knees and I have to stop. WHY?? I'm not doing anything differently and it's not…

Any exercises that will target stomach to get that glorious vertical stomach line? Is that more aimed at obliques or abs? I want some definition for sure

calories lost
How in the hell do you tell how many calories you've lost doing any sort of exercise whatsoever? I do workout videos that will tell me i've lost between 200-500 calories for example, but that's such a wide range. I've heard a heart rate monitor band isn't necessarily the best for reading this especially if you're strength…

Protein Intake and Strength Training
I am doing strength training 3 days a week, along with some HIIT or cardio. I know that I need to take in my protein and make sure I'm eating enough calories and what not, but some days I'm just not hungry. Even after I do my workout, I'm not that hungry. I find that I eat half my meal and then I'm done. How important is…

Specific exercise suggestions?
I am looking to tone/tighten my stomach. I would like it to be flat (wouldn't we all) and not necessarily have a 6-pack, but I don't oppose to some definition. I am just curious, does anyone have any specific workouts that have worked for them or would be good for this? Please don't respond with, "you can't spot reduce,"…

It's true what they say...
So it really is true what they say... You won't work for it unless you truly want it. I've started eating better and exercising probably 4 REAL times in my life. Where I decide to make a change and want to get fit, so I start exercising and eating a little better than I normally do, and it always ended the same way: after…

what i'm worried about...
when I decided to start this journey I said to myself that for the first 2 weeks I would eat low cal low fat just to get the weight loss started and after the two weeks I would gradually add other foods back into my diet. I don't mean junky foods but even things like salmon, rice, carbs, etc. I've been eating only chicken…

When do you see the difference?
So I've been eating better and working out for 1.5 weeks now. I've lost almost 8 pounds and have dropped an inch around my waist. I wasn't overly weight to begin with just needed to shed a layer and tone up. But I am wondering, although I've seen the numbers go down, when will I start to visually see my stomach tighten up…

When to weigh/measure
So I measured myself all around and weighed myself on Sunday (my first day of dieting and exercising). When do you suggest doing it again to see progress? I know some people say don't do it at all, but I'm the kind of person that needs to see something whether it's on my stomach or on the measuring tape. Should I wait a…

New Runner: Tips, Advice, and Help!
Hey guys, I am once again going to start "working out". I started last week and for this first week have just been eating better and I've been trying to run for 3 days straight, 1 day rest, then 3 days again. Since I've never ran in my life I'm taking it slow. I have been just running until I can't anymore. I started…

how many calories does walking burn?
I know this has probably been discussed till the cows come home. but I am just wondering; how many calories does walking burn? I walk at a pretty brisk pace and wouldn't mind keeping that pace, but how long do I have to walk to kill some calories off?

5 min workouts??
this may sound ridiculous but I am legitimately curious... can someone work out for 5 min a day and still get a good work out in? like if it's an intense workout, does it count? and I'm not trying to get out of doing the work or anything so please don't reply with stupid comments, I have been working out an hour each night…

summer time workouts
so... what are some fun summer workouts that don't really feel like a workout? I know we can walk or run, but what are some ways you slip in a workout when it's nice outside?

why is this so hard??
I know I'm not the first and definitely not the last to not want to eat better or work out but only get the results. I'm not even looking to lose weight necessarily (although a few pounds would definitely be nice), I just want to tone up my body and feel better. the area that I'm only concerned about is my stomach. I would…
