Abs... should they hurt??
ok.. so typically from past routines in my life I know that when you do ab exercises, your ab muscles tend to hurt. I've been doing very minimal amounts of ab-work in my cardio workout, as well as a couple reps of standing crunches with weights and so far, it seems I have a bit of control of my stomach muscles but I have…

Purpose of Eating Exercise Cals
Ok... so I am officially confused! Can someone please explain to me why we should eat the calories that we burnt off!! I thought that if we burnt calories it would cause us to lose weight cause we are taking away from the food intake for the day. This might sound dumb but if I'm already burning it, why would I want to eat…

calories - how much?
Ok.. I'm sure this question has been asked a million times before here, but I really need to get a handle on how much is too much or too little calories to intake.
