Pitting edema and weight lifting
I'm a beginner lifting weights, and halfway through stage 1 of NRoLfW. A friend said I should give BodyPump a try thinking I'd love it, so I did, and she was right. The next day however, I was miserably sore. I'm typically sore a day after weights, but this was *bad*. I chalked it up to the fact that I lift heavy without…

Lift Like A Girl - Nia Shanks... Anyone?
I'm thinking of going this route, combined with my regular walking/jogging schedule since I kinda HATE HIIT. I'm already doing small weights at home, but I'm craving more, and I've decided to join my kids at the Y... or maybe Planet Fitness.. not sure yet. I was doing 30DS, but by day 6 I was already bored. I'll definitely…

I modified…

Hi, new :)
I'm new... Well... sort of. I've had MFP since the new year, but I ABSOLUTELY was not taking things seriously until recently. I had changed my diet a bit, but exercise more than normal activity was unheard of. So, now, taking this serious... Eating cleanly, doing the thirty day squat challenge, and throwing in a hodge…
