Morning exercisers more fit than evening?
I am a morning workout person at this point in my life. Could be age or just that is the time when the kids are in school and I can squeeze it into my work schedule. But this past week I had to work out at night and I noticed a huge difference (no pun intended) in the size of the people working out at night. I do Zumba -…

Contemplating a breast reduction...need advice!
I love to workout now and I hope that one day I can actually run - now I can run for a few minutes at a time but as my weight is dropping and my stamina is increasing from Zumba and BodyPump I hope that I can run without killing my knees.

I am so confused by this strange phenomenon. I started to think that my heart rate monitor was broken- but I am also losing again - so the higher heart rate is coinciding with the weight loss and higher burn rate. That makes sense.

How to get my kid to run
My oldest son hates to run for exercise and is overweight - but loves sports and plays every sport yet continues to be overweight. Recently he quit soccer since he had to chose only 2 sports a season (all this running around to 8 practices a week was making me crazy). Now that I am going to the gym 5+x a week and have for…

Is 2 hours too much?
Someone told me yesterday that I might not be doing myself a favor by doing 2 hours of exercise 2x a week. Basically they said that Cortisol will build up in my system and hinder weight loss with long extended workouts but I know runners who run for hours and they are thin as rails. Here is my schedule and let me know your…

Bumping Uglies during Zumba...
So there is an instructor at 24hr fitness who I had the unfortunate luck to run into twice this week who insists on grinding with every young guy in the Zumba class. First - there are not many guys in the class to begin with, and the women there really want to get a good workout in. But this instructor gets off track and…
