Any other female lifters with high testosterone levels?
I've been lifting heavy since October. I had my 3rd baby in August. Breastfeeding two kiddos but was still menstruating. Quit menstruating in February. Had a hormone saliva test and my testosterone is way elevated at 91. Lifting doesn't cause this, right?

NSV
Two this week! I took my daughter for her last check up before we move and her doctor said, "Oh my gosh you are so skinny." Then today I went with my grandma to get her nails done and the lady who works there in her broken English said, "Wow, you skinny!" Exciting! I haven't seen my husband in person in 3 months and we are…

Nervous to try this
I'm currently doing Insanity, on the recovery week before starting month 2. I've been eating about 1600-1750 calories a day which includes 300 extra calories I get for nursing my exclusively breastfed baby.

Ready to start lifting, need some help
I'm currently doing Insanity and looking to add some strength training to my workout routines. I'm not concerned about bulking up, I know I won't, but I don't want to waste time doing exercises that aren't going to change my body the way I want. I most concerned with strengthening my arms, shoulders and butt. Does anyone…

Make me feel better about my binge
Insanely stressful day. Also my rest day from Insanity and I ate an extra 647 calories. I know a splurge every now and then doesn't hurt but I have such an all or nothing mindset. Oh well, back on track tomorrow and Insanity day 22!

I need an *kitten*, ASAP
Ok so the more I read on this site, the more I'm realizing that I need to incorporate some heavy lifting into my routine. I don't have a gym membership and don't plan on getting one anytime soon, but I am wanting to get some glute muscles bad. I am currently doing Insanity but from everything I've read squatting your own…

Insanity and abs
I'm on Insanity day 10. I've been a little sore, especially in my legs, but my abs aren't feeling much. I'm careful to keep my core contracted through the workout. Am I doing something wrong?
