For those who walk/run on the track
Just a small tidbit of advice I received from my personal trainer. Remember to switch the direction you are going, either halfway through your workout, or do every other one way and vice versa. The reason being is that your hips get thrown off by the constant rounding of the track so if you are always going clockwise, the…

30ds and rest days?
From everything I read, it states you should take a rest day every other day with strength training. Jillian makes you do it 30 days straight with no rest. Since most of the strength is arms and legs, wouldn't it be beneficial to take rest days and do it every other day and do cardio or something on the opposite days? As a…

Whey Protein shakes
How many protein shakes do you drink a day... and why? Do you mix it with just water each time or milk, or switch it up? Is there a limit on the amount you can drink a day, and what are the benefits of doing so?

Transitioning from 3x a week to daily?
I am probably nowhere near the stage, but some days I want to run daily, instead of resting in between. At what point can you safely run every day or 6x a week?

How do you accurately measure food?
I get the general idea I weigh my foods and go by weight for portion sizes or by spoon/ cup sizes. First putting my bowl on scale then turning it on so it doesnt weigh it I am doing good with measuring breakfasts and lunches for myself What i struggle with is supper time. How do you calculate it especially with having a…

Hi all! Well I finally did it! I got my large lazy butt off the couch and took up running. Phew!!! It was hard and painful But I havent given up yet.

Really low calories = starvation?

I want to run
I used to run when I was a teen, in track etc. Then I stopped. I wanted to do the C25K plan, tried it yesterday, and I hurt so bad from my knees to the top of my feet. Even walking fast hurts. Anything I can do to fix this so that I can run again? Every time I try, I am in so much pain, either on treadmill, or sidewalks.…

New... and lost :(
I have put on a lot of weight, in a relatively short time. I now weigh an embarrassing 225 lbs, and I hate the way I look and the way I feel. I keep starting 'day one' over and over and can't figure out a good way to contine. I can't find that drive, that motivation or possibly the support I need to continue. December 2009…
