Experience with beta blockers? Can they stop working?
I apologize if this is the wrong board, but I was hoping someone had some insight on this. A few months ago I started beta blockers as my heart rate was very very high, I have palpitations, high BP, as well as an enlarged right side of my heart. I tried one medication and didn't feel an improvement. I switched to atenolol…

Curious about pre-workout supplements (energy)
Hey guys, I've been working out on and off for a lifetime but didn't get serious until about June of last year and since then I've lost nearly 40 lbs. Despite my exercise endurance increasing, I feel like my energy is generally decreasing. I get tired half way through the day and keep chugging along since most people can't…

Ab exercise tips for weaklings please
I have lost 40 lbs and have 20 left, and have just started light strength training (mostly easy peasy DVDS). My schedule (doing Turbo Jam) has a 20 minute ab routine but I have a lot of trouble doing the floor exercises.

No strength, can't do cardio, and I need to lose and get strong! Begging for answers!
Let me clarify. I can do cardio. Light cardio. I'm battling some health issues that have me seeing a cardiologist and the aspects of it put cardio out of the question. Example, brisk walk puts my HR in the 170s and 30 second run hits 210. Next, my strength is nothing. I know. I am ashamed. I am so ashamed of what I've done…

Did you get back into your old pants?
I am feeling hopeless! I am having trouble coming to terms that I could never ever fit into my old clothes. Before weight gain, I was 150 lbs and wore a size 5. I wore a 14 or 16 at my highest weight, which was between 200-210 lbs. I can just now (uncomfortably) squeeze into 13's after losing just under 20 lbs. (I'm 5'6,…

I don't know how to strength train!
MFP community! Please help. I have googled and found blog posts but nothing that is truly helpful. BG: I was never a strong person, but ended up on bed rest for months (between 6-7) during pregnancy. I am very weak. I was to the point that once off bed rest, I could not walk up or down stairs. It's been about 10 months,…

Sell me a new program!
I need something else! I completed 4 weeks of Turbo Jam max results and I'm on week 2 of Turbo Jam fat burning. I don't have a resistance band so I was replacing one of the work outs with Turbo Fire, and WHOA! I can't keep up at ALL! My heart rate was very low compared to normal because I just couldn't get the moves down,…

About me: I struggled with eating disorders for over 11 years, until I got pregnant with my daughter (she is now ten months). I was on bed rest almost the entire pregnancy, and gained almost 70 lbs OVER my healthy weight! So now I'm…
