NROL4W Substitutions?
Hey folks! I was wondering what you all think I should do. My gym has very limited lifting equipment, and home is even worse. I don't have a choice of any olympic barbells. So I use a smith machine. Dumbbells are extremely limited in number, as are the cable weight machines. It's nuts. I don't get what I'm paying $20 a…

Coconut oil/butter?
I have been hearing wonderful things about coconut, and especially the oil (extra virgin of course). I haven't had time to do much in the way of research on raw coconut, and was wondering if anyone had some useful info or links? I know, it's probably another "craze" but I heard about it first from a dietician. So it's left…

Did I just do that?
Thanks to the ever so helpful advice I'd gotten from this group, I am back on track with the C25k program. I can't believe I did the jog 20 minutes workout of wk5 d3! Not only that, but I really pushed myself hard to finish 3.1 miles today. I felt really good the whole while too. Jogged an additional 10 minutes as 2…

Eating more really DOES help weight loss!
I know, I know! I've been told many times over that I need to be eating more. Still eating clean, but just more quantity. Ever since I backed of the uber-aggressive ultra low calorie plan that my doctor has me on, incorporating about 25% more calories or so, I've really started to lose! A lot! Now this ULC plan has worked…

Struggling!
Hi all you C25k-ers! I was wondering... I'm having a horrible time getting past 1min 15 sec for consistent running/jogging. I'm find the first minute, but by 15 seconds into the second I'm dying! My chest constricts, my ankles hurt, I even get dizzy sometimes. Even my heart rate jumps way up. I was wondering if anyone else…
