SO I JUST FINISHED WEEK 3 of T25
And I am still out of breath and cannot do all of the exercises. I have to modify most of the time, but I keep moving. It is really hard and Im trying to lose 30 lbs. Should I do Alpha a second time before starting Beta. Im so out of breath.

Has anyone tried Les Mills Grit Series?
My gym here in Dallas has recently released a pilot program for Les Mills Grit. These are 30 minutes per segment (one is called Grit Strength, the others are GritCardio and GritPlyo). I was interested in the GritStrength to tone - but I do have bad knees. Can you modify for bad knees? Do these classes tone?

DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND ADRENAL FATIGUE SYNDROME
I wasn't sure which category to place this topic in. I am female, early 40s, and have struggled with depression, anxiety, and fatigue my entire life. For most of my life, I have been on some type of SSRI (i.e. Paxil Zoloft and so on). For the past five years, I have been on benzodiazepines (i.e. Xanax, Klonopin) for panic…

HEART RATE MONITOR RECOMMENDATIONS
I am looking for a nice, simple HRM that strictly provides HR and calories burned. I also want it to be encoded so it doesn't pick up other HRM transmissions or equipment cross transmissions. I don't want anything complicated to set up or a HRM with a bunch of other features. Any recommendations? I was eyeing the Polar FT4…

GETTING TONED w/ BodyPump and other Group classes
Yikes - I gained 40 lbs in the past 2 years. I lost both of my parents and turned to food and alcohol for my depression. So, in addition to my weight gain my body looks like a baked potato right now. I am also very flabby and no tone at all. I used to have an hourglass figure. The good news is that I just started hitting…
