Milk Thistle?
I have been reading online that milk thistle can help with PCOS. Has anyone taken it, what has been your experience? I have an appointment next month to see my doc and was going to ask him but was curious if anyone's taken it?

Help me run faster
I do bootcamp workouts which I love but they do involve quite a bit of running. Usually 5-10 laps around a building (sometimes carrying dumbells, a bocu ball, etc). I find I'm the SLOWEST on the in class and it's incredibly frustrating. I have no problems with any of the other exercises we do. I also am the only one I…

Craving ice cream
It's the middle of winter and I workout 5 days a week (bootcamp burning roughly 500-800 calories per session) and lately all I'm wanting after I'm done workout is ice cream or sorbet or those frozen lemon ice cups. The workouts are something I've been doing regularily for the last 4 months but within the last week the…

Not hungry after intense workouts
I'm curious if anyone else is like this. I do bootcamp 4 days a week. Class is after work from 6-7pm, I get home shower and usually sit down to eat around 7:40 (I go to bed about 11pm) We'll usually have either chicken breast or pork with veggies but I find I'm just not hungry. I can usually only eat about 2 oz of meat and…

increasing endurance - running
I do a bootcamp workout 4-5 days a week that I love. It's always a mix of cardio type workouts with strength. Sometimes it's all strength and then a 1 mile run at the end of the class, sometimes it's throwing medicine balls, tires etc - the workouts are never the same. I've never been a strong runner - I'm more of a slow…

Calories burned during HIIT exercises
I do a bootcamp 4 to 5 days a week (1 hour each time) and it's mainly all HIIT exercises. Some days are more cardio or strength focused (yesterday for example was all strength work - I know today will be all legs with some sprinting). Most of the HR monitors I see are only good for the stable cardio (machines). How do I…

I can't do a quad stretch - am I the only one?
I swear in all of my fitness classes I'm the ONLY one who can't do a standing quad stretch. It's not the lack of balance it's that I can't bend my knee back and grab my ankle, or toes, or foot etc. I'm guessing it's either my calves or my thighs are too big (a lot of muscle definition) for but what do you recommend as an…

Figuring out calories burned
I'm doing bootcamp style workouts but how do you figure out the amount of calories you are burning? There's days where we are throwing tires across a parking lot, sometimes it's weights, sometimes it's sprints... It varies each day.
