Knee'd help with exercise program
It has been a long time since I have posted any questions. I was working out with a trainer up until December. I absolutely LOVED the feeling of lifting weights...but my knees and hips were in such pain. I have had 5 knee surgeries from 1986 to 1995 (3 reconstructions and 2 scopes) From January 2014 to March 2014, I had my…

Started Phase 2!! and cardio question
A big whoo whoo for me! Finished the Ripped in 30 and then started the BR phase 2 last night. Is it just me...I thought workout 5 was a bit easy? I wasn't familiar with the routine..but it seemed to go by really fast too! I know it gets harder (and from the reviews of weeks 7 and 8, I am dreading those). Tomorrow after…

Tell me what ya think! kinda embarassing...
Well, I was all juiced up to start the JM Body Revolution yesterday. Didn't think I would be able to do the full kickstart program with the cardio in a.m. and workout at night...but still was going to try to double up in the evenings. Been stalking all of your progresses and decided...I am going to just find a way to do…

Want to run...but Plantar Fasciitis just won't go away!
I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in my left heel at end of March by a podiatrist. I was given some "flimsy" inserts and the boot to sleep in. Kudos to him for not asking me to stop running (had a 5k I had signed up for end of April). I purchased some inserts that were rated high online and those did help a little…

Lifters? how early of an age should you start??
Hello y'all... My daughter who will be 15 in couple of weeks is not begging to go the gym with me. Don't get me wrong..LOVE the company and love the fact that she is wanting to be healthy and fit (and I am sure the fact it is already bikini season in Georgia has a lot do with it ;-)! ) Problem is all she wants to do is…

Start over??
Hey gang... I started with the group on April 9th...but got off track. In reality have probably missed an entire week of workouts. I did WO 1 again on Wednesday and then didn't do 2 last night (and I should be on WO 3 and 4 this week). Should I just start over? What do you think?

JM fans...which is better RI 30 or 6wk 6pk
Okay, all you JM fans......What do you think? I have read many post regarding the Shred 30 and RI 30 as far as results. Seems most feel weight loss more with Shred and inches lost more with RI 30. I have RI in 30 and the 6 wk 6 pck videos. Want to start one and stick with it throughout. My goal is inches to lose especially…

Women lifters....cybex vs. free weights
I've been using the cybex machines in a circuit style training...but upping weights in each set (not necessarily to fatigue but struggle on last rep). What are your thoughts about the differences in using cybex machines or free weights? My problem is that the gym where I have a membership is VERY limited on the squatting…

Ladies....what multivitamin do you take?
Hello Ladies...I am in search of a good multivitamin to take... Probably lean toward the "time released" ones...... For some reason when I take my vitamins in the morning.....I get this real sick feeling in my stomach (like I am about to faint). Does anyone take them at night?

Looking for a workout video with no ab work
I have a ton of Jillian Michaels videos that I like to pop in when I cannot make it to the gym. I've got most of them...and would be open to trying someone else too... Any suggestions for a good workout video without a lot of crunches or ab work?

MFP Poll: What's your fav Whey Protein
Okay, we talk about the Protein Shakes on here often. Of course, I didn't bump that particular topic...so I am reposting. I used Visalus before (VERY TASTY...but VERY COSTLY!). I just purchased the GNC Amp brand. Looking for mainly a pre/post workout shake. So today's MFP poll question is..what's your favorite Whey Protein…

Calling all polar experts...FT7 or F60
I keep going back and forth on this... Alright you polar experts! Give me the pros and cons of what you like and don't like about your HRM! I keep going back and forth. FT7 sounds easy enough....probably all I need and want for now. But for a little more money...I can get the F60 which can log and help design your…

Golf anyone?
Does anyone golf? If so...how do you enter it in as exercise? I mean, I live in the south..and granted it may be 90+ degrees outside, but I really do not think 180 minutes in a cart equals 715 calories!

Ripped in 30 vs. Shred30?
What's your opinion? I am on W1 D2 of Ripped in 30 but I notice many of the threads focus on the Shred. Are the results better in the Shred? I have really bad knees...so, I am worried with Jillian, the further I go with it...the more jumping involved. I know my limits though. Just wondered why so many threads on the…
