Will running sabotage a muscle building program?
I'm doing Chalean Extreme, want to burn and move more than is in the program and want to know if adding a 5k in the AM is going to divert body resources and limit muscle growth. Thanks.

Macros for Chalean Extreme?

Cardio with broken toe?
So, I went on vacation and gained 8 lbs. I fell off the sugar wagon and ate too many desserts because the sweets were displayed like an open bar, and sugar is my drug of choice. When I got home I stubbed my pinky toe on the suitcase. It's broken badly and even though I had begun insanity that morning, I can't even slow…

Medication makes delayed muscle soreness crippling...suggestions?

I cannot discontinue either one, as one is a cancer suppressor, and the other treats the greatly raised cholesterol level caused by the first med. I am fine if I don't exercise. But I was in…

Body Beast and the Ectomorph (Hardgainer)...need input
So, I completed the first week, and the first muscle groups (pecs, triceps) are still sore from 5 days ago. I still can't walk well, after legs 4 days ago. Everything I read about ectomorphs suggests that they need extra recovery time, and should not work out more than every other day. Any thoughts? For those who don't…

Hip Hop Abs Deluxe vs T25?
Hi, all. I'm just finishing the last week of HHA, and wondering how it compares in intensity to T25. Total Body Burn 2 is doable for me w/o mods or pauses (except for pushups on the knees), and wanted to know if T25 is harder and if so, how big a leap it is from the one program to the other. Thanks.
