Injury –how many rest days? (snapping hip syndrome)
After taking 6+ weeks off from walking on the treadmill 6x a week I started back 4 days ago. I burned 400+ calories each time going uphill at 3-3.5mph. Today I got on and immediately my hip started popping. It didn’t hurt, but it was annoying. I stopped my workout and researched it and from what I’m reading it may be IT…

Question for those with personal trainers
For those of you that hired a personal trainer, in what ways do you find he/she has helped you? I bought a treadmill this winter and everything was fine for the first 5 weeks. I saw great results and I felt great. I took a break from it and started back in the beginning of March only to go too hard too fast and injured…

Question about metabolic rate
I hope this doesn’t sound like a stupid question, but I remember reading a long time ago that if you reduce your calories, your metabolic rate adjusts to burn the same amount you are consuming? Wouldn’t this be a constant struggle to lose weight? You would constantly need to reduce calories in order to continue to lose…

Losing inches first before pounds?

Has anyone else experienced this too? For the past 5 weeks i've only basically been doing cardio 6 times a week and i've lost 10 inches…

Maybe i've got it all wrong?
Last spring I lost 17 pounds between feb-may. Though I had been watching what I was eating, I wasn’t strict, I often had days where I would eat healthy and then days where I would eat just junk food. I walked almost every day, 15-30 minutes (got the heart pumping but never really broke a sweat) and I lost weight weekly. In…

coming back from a day off
is it okay to workout extra hard (double) the day after a day off? or does it really defeat the purpose of resting?

Working out = water retention??? Help!
I apologize in advance if this question has surfaced before. I’m new... I’ve never worked out in my entire life, not consistently anyways. In early December I bought myself a treadmill because living in Canada meant finding every excuse not to get my butt out there everyday especially when it can reach -40 with the wind…
