Fit3D Scan Poor "Body Shape Rating" - is this something I can fix?
I recently joined a gym which as a 3D body scan and decided to give it a try. The scan confirmed what I already knew... that I have an "apple" shape and that my trunk is wide compared to the rest of my body. I've always been shaped this way even when I weighed less. Then scan gave me a 34 out of 100 for my body shape, with…

Working out with dumbbells for the past year, but not getting much stronger?
Apologize in advance for the novel. I'm hoping to get some advice from those more knowledgeable than me about fitness! About 14 months ago I realized that, as someone who just turned 30, it's very important that I do some sort of strength training so as not to lose all muscle mass as I age. Not trying to get ripped, just…

Does anyone do NMTZ?
Hi Everyone, I've just joined the group after inviting Jillian back into my life following a 6 month hiatus from regular exercise.

Am I the only one too uncoordinated for L2?
Hi everyone, I'm about halfway done with level 2, just did day 6. I am not liking level 2 as much as level 1, because I am far to uncoordinated to do some of the moves. I simply can not do the oblique twists without going super slowly and carefully thinking about how to position all my limbs. On the pendulum lunges I have…

Has anyone lost inches, but not pounds with 30DS?
Hi All, I've just finished level 2, day 4 of the 30DS. I am totally fine with my current weight (I am 5 ft 6.5 in and weigh 120 lbs). But I have extra fat, particularly in my lower stomach and love handles that I am not at all fond of. If possible, I'd like to stay the same weight but lose a few inches in that area, as…

I'm completely fine with the rest of my body, but carry some extra pudge on my lower belly and have some love handles. I've never really been completely comfortable wearing a bathing suit in public to be honest. I…
