New Rules of Lifting For Women - too easy?
Hi, just looking for opinions on NROLFW for someone who isn't totally new to weight training. I've been doing BodyPump consistently for the past 8 months and I usually lift heavier than most in the class and I've gained a surprising amount of muscle tone, but I'm looking for something new and a little more challenging.…

Healthy options for pancake toppings?
I have an awesome recipe for greek yogurt pancakes but I need a topping other than maple syrup. I love syrup but it's too high calorie for my liking. In the past I've microwaved a bowl of blueberries and used that as a topping but I don't have any at the moment. What lower calorie options do you have for things like…

How many calories should I eat while doing insanity?
I'm starting Insanity while I'm home from college for winter break. The thing is I don't need to LOSE any weight, I'm just trying to add a little muscle , lose some fat, and be more toned.

Cut down on calories before or after Thanksgiving?
I'm eating at maintenance level (1600 for me) but I know I'm going to eat a lot at Thanksgiving dinner. To avoid gaining weight (as someone who is only 5'0 even one pound will show on me) I want to cut down on calories the week leading up to thanksgiving. I was thinking of going down to 1200 or 1300 a day for a week. But,…

BodyCombat with sore abs?
I can either go to zumba or body combat (les mills) tonight, but my abs are very sore from bosu IT yesterday. I know I'd be okay at Zumba but I'd like to go to BodyCombat because I've been dying to try it. Would the exercises hurt my already sore abs? I don't really know what the format of the class is (whether it's more…

6 week six pack - how much should I eat?
I asked a similar question to this about a week ago but I am still confused. I'm at a healthy weight (about 106 lbs at 5'0) so I don't really need to lose weight, but I want more muscle tone. I feel like I just have fat with very little muscle. I've started Jillian Michael's 6 week six pack about a week ago but I don't…

Not sure how many calories I should eat? Help please?
After eating about 1200 calories a day for 3 months I got down to my goal weight. At that point I kept eating the same, out of habit, but not losing any weight anymore. Now I want to tone up (but not get bulky!) so I've continued to do cardio but I've added more toning workout dvds to my routine. I'm not sure how many…

Fighting the Freshmen 15!
After having almost LOST 15 pounds, I'm terrified of starting college in the Fall and gaining the freshmen 15! I've been looking at the nutritional info for the meals at my school's dining hall and they all just seem so high-calorie and high-fat =\ What are you other current or upcoming college freshmen planning to do to…
