INCREASING EXERCISE
When I started working out 3 months ago, I could barely do 10 minutes on the bike and a few weight machines and I needed a nap & a hot bath. Now I can do 40 on the treadmill, 20 on the elliptical and about 30-40 minutes in weights, great right? Except now I feel fine when I'm done, I could easily do more. I DO up my…

Zucchini & Squash
No one in my family really likes either of them but while my husband was home recouperating from surgery he decided to plant a veggie garden. For no reason I can think of he planted BOTH of them. Now it looks like we're going to have bushels of the stuff. I can only give away so much. Any recipes for either? The kids wont…

I was wondering if it makes a decent burger, or does it get too dry (like ground turkey-BLECH) Any suggestions to keep th eburget moist?…

I like doing the treadmill (or bike or elliptical) before my weights, BUT if the target is to get my HR up,l should IDO the cooldown on the treadmill or just stop & go straight to the weights? Is it better to get my heart rate up…

How over IS over or UNDER?
It's IMPOSSIBLE to eat exactly 1200 (or any other amt) of calories with all your other stuff being exact too. (carbs, fat etc) We all KNOW that, so if I go over 1200 calories by 50, 100. 200, how bad would it be? same for under? I did a good workout and took the kids bowling, and yes I cheated at the bowling alley with…

More Reps or more weight?????
I've been working out at the gym 5 days a week for the past 6 weeks, and doing the 30 day shred when I get home for about 11 days so far) I can do much more weight on leg machines than I can on arm, but the one thing I'm confused about is, should I strive to add weight to each machine or just adding reps? Currently, when I…

For those of you who have the ACTUAL 30 day Shred DVD
I dont have the DVD, I'm doing it on exercise tv on my cable provider. My question is, is the whole first 30 days level 1? If not, WHEN do you move up to level 2,3, etc. How many days on each? I only have level 1 on cable, and I'm on day 7, so I'm wondering if I need to move up a level. If I so I need to get the video,…
