Can you reduce fat without HIIT?
So everyone I know treats HIIT like the only means of losing fat. I can't do HIIT. Personal reasons involving strict parents that have to supervise my exercise, even though I'm 18. My Mom just won't let me do it. I told her about it, and how when I tried it once it made me feel sick so, her being her super strict self,…

Exercising while eating under 1500 calories?
So today for exercise I did about 40 minutes of rope jumping. Most of it was at a moderate pace, but I'd occasionally go really fast/hard at it. This site says I burned roughly 370 calories doing that. I've only ate about 1300 calories when my goal (counting exercise) is about 1600. I'm afraid this will put my body into…

Skinny jeans and saddle bags???
Hey. I have a slight saddlebag problem that I am slowly working at. They're not massive, but they're definitely there....... Until a month or so ago, I didn't even know what saddlebags were.

Saddlebags? :(
I know, I know, you can't spot reduce. You have to lose overall body fat. I haven't had my fat measured by like a doctor or anything, but my fat percentage (according to some websites) is usually right in the middle of the acceptable/average range. I'm 138 lbs and 5'3". I have a lot of muscle in my calves, and I'm looking…
