Question about complexes (dumbbell, kettlebell, etc)
So because I'm basically allergic to running ... and working on fitting in more cardio ... and I did a homebaked version of a dumbbell complex last week to grab some Fito badges, I'm thinking about doing some sort of dumbbell/kettlebell complex on my cardio days maybe once a week or more because I quite enjoyed it! My…

Cardio for the non-runners among us!
Don't fancy running, treadmills and/or ellipticals but want to get some cardio in? Think complexes! Can be done with weights or just body weight; whatever you happen to have available and/or happen to be in the mood for. Sample Body weight complex: The Angry Birds workout:…

Sodium?
Is going over the 2500 sodium a big deal? My 2-month average is about 3000. I did a quick peek at my journal and found some of the harder hitters so I'll see if I can find some better alternatives. What's your take on that, generally speaking? I did a forum search and came up empty (mostly white noise as usual and a bunch…

Shoes?
So I walked into a few shoe stores today asking for women's lifting shoes and got looked at like I have 2 heads. I'm not gonna lie, I quite enjoyed being an obvious anomaly, but it bugged me that they were basically pointing me to the men's section. The ladies' shoes I did see that would probably do were like 99 bucks but…

I have some total noobish questions

I've never counted calories either, and only this month started actually keeping track what I put into my mouth (which is working out…

Hello!
You guys are awesome! I'm falling in love with the idea of powerlifting and finally getting strong. Currently working on a doable plan to convert dreams and wishes to achievable goals and put them into action.

What's the best overall approach for someone like me?
I'm pushing the upper end of overweight (28-29 BMI) and have for years. I'm what they call "average" (I'm in a size 14), but I'm not happy about it because I currently weigh as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with both of my kids. My youngest is now 15. So really, enough already. What's the best approach for a…

New to calorie counting
A month into quitting smoking it's now time to focus on food intake and make some serious adjustments. Hopefully in another month I can start adding regular exercise to my payload, but first I have to get my head around food journaling and learning to gauge portions and whatnot. I don't want to go back to smoking, ever,…
