Orange Theory Weightloss Challenge!
hi! Is anyone else doing this? I believe it officially starts today - it lasts for 6 weeks and you get weighed weekly. It's a competition, which is why I joined. I need that extra motivation!

10k training
If I am used to running 5ks with little to no training, is it possible that I could be ready to complete a 10k by Jan 6 WITH training runs? By complete, I mean, jog it the entire way and finish in about an hour. Other runners? Thoughts? Or is that unrealistic?

HIIT = Stroke? WHAT?
So yesterday, for the first time in about a year, I used the rowing machine for HIIT (or at least interval training). 30 seconds of full speed, intense effort and 30 seconds rest.

ARM FAT ruins the beautiful bride effect
Let's be honest -- this is what can kill a great, strappy or strapless wedding dress. How are sufferers combating this?? I only do cardio...and any advice on flabby arms, and the overhang where the dress meets the flesh would be so greatly appreciated!

2 Body Fat Calculations: 30% vs 20%
How do most of you measure your body fat? About a week ago, I was measured on one of those scales/body fat measuring machines, and it said I was 29.3% body fat. I met with a trainer yesterday and told them I was basically 30 percent body fat, and she said, "I can tell by looking at you that that is inaccurate and it's…

SOON TO BE BRIDES: let's be friends!
I'm new here, getting married in June, and my dress deserves an awesome body. Also, any women who are 5'2 - 5'3 -- please add me -- I'd love to see your goals and diet and exercise plans.

The benefits of Body Pump?
Anyone take this exercise class? It seems to be the only way I can make myself lift weights and work out muscle groups that I would never work out. Has anyone seen noticeable improvement in muscle tone? I'm getting married in 3 months and want sculpted arms! Anyone's experience (especially women) would be greatly…
