I literally can't do sit ups.
Or curl-ups. Or whatever ab workout that has to do with lifting my whole upper body. Except crunches (if that counts). But the point of this topic is that I guess I can't do sit ups because my core is too weak? Is that the cause? Because I seriously can't lift my upper body. And I want to! Especially because in school, in…

BETTER workouts than Insanity?
Insanity's been like the 'major' workout I've been doing recently. Or have done. I wasn't able to finish it before and now I'm planning to start over and finish it this time. BUT I was just wondering if there are better options than Insanity to lose weight and burn fat.

Protein from cooked eggs
Is it true that when you cook eggs that their protein is lost? My biology teacher said that protein is destroyed by increased temperature. So when the egg is hard boiled, scrambled, or what, the protein is gone. Or there's not much protein left as it should. That's why he says it's better to eat the egg white raw and soft…

Started gaining at 18.

Unless I'm super motivated. But that rarely happens. So I usually work out around lunch time (when my schedule permits…

There are really abs under my belly fat. Need help!
F/113lbs/19/5'2 My genes have specifically placed all unwanted fat on my tummy. For real. Every other body part of mine is thin (in a good way). It's only my tummy that pops out. And I know there are 'formed' abs because I can feel it. AND I know that everyone has abs, but mine is evident when touched. Unless that's…

Gained 13lbs and never lost a pound.
F/5'2/19 My normal body weight was 100lbs ever since before until two years ago when I entered college. In my first year, I gained 10lbs. And now I've gained 3 (and I think it's not going to stop, which of course I want to). I've tried Insanity, Barre (with pilates), and now I'm thinking of doing the Seven Minute Workout…
