Cardio...ugh
Are there any good cardio alternatives to running, like jumping rope? I'm working on building up my endurance for running (I can barely run 2 minutes at a time, it's terrible) but it's really gotten me discouraged. Is power walking an effective form of cardio? I'm considering trying that and progressively building up to…

Ankle injury!!
A few years back I severely sprained (or possibly even fractured) my ankle and it has never fully healed from that injury...so even today it's weak and most of the time it gets sore when I exercise, like if I'm walking on an incline or running. How can I work out without having to put too much pressure on my ankle? And…

How to make time for exercise?

I'm really concerned about the well-being of my joints though (specifically that ankle) and I'm…

Sometimes I just get extremely discouraged though and it takes A LOT of…

Looking good for graduation
So I'm a senior in college and about to graduate in 6-7 weeks. I'm not technically overweight but I definitely do not carry my weight well (I'm 5'3"-5'4" and 130ish pounds). Since freshman year I've gotten rounder in the face and midsection and I would really like to get back down to the weight at which I was comfortable…

YouTube workout videos?
I don't really have a lot of time to work out so I've been trying to find exercises that I could do in my dorm room (which is pretty small) and I found this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5NuC9n-3r8 I'm just wondering, how effective would this be? My goal is to pretty much to lose about 10 lbs. and tone…
