hey...

Hey I know you don't know me but congrats on the baby and I have a question for you.

1 As a basketball player what is the best type of workout on here that I can do to get ready for the AAU tryouts (That is the club basketball team in case you didn't know)?

hi, I'm new to this site but I'm really wanting to achieve my goal of 15lbs. It may not seem like much to some people but for the last 10 yrs I added these lbs on and can't get them off. I also have MS and the extra weight is not good for me or for the people who have to help me with stairs or off the floor. The longer my weight is in control, long longer I can put off being completely dependant on others. I can use all help I can get and will do what ever you say to do.

Hello and congrats on your new baby
I'm interested in toning all over especially my arms and thighs. Help please. I have lost 16lbs. And trying to lose more.

hy. I'm new here and i have a question:
I did muay thai but i needed surgery and after that i couldn't do it for two years. I plan to take it up again but i don1t know how to get my stamina and fittness back. Is it enough if i exercise day to day?

I am in my mid-50's.   I used to exercise regularly until about 5 years ago.   I want to get back in shape, but have no stamina.   Anyone else with this dilemma?

keep goin don't give up yet. you've only had one week with not losing any thing.

do you even need to continue to lose lbs? maybe your body is at its good weight point and tone and strength is the direction you now go...keep it movn...!!!

I've had the same problem, I know it can be hard, but try not to let the scale determine how you feel about your goals, muscle does weigh more than fat, cliche I know, but true! :)

Hi hopeful 1 ,you can lose more weight eating 6 small meals a day.
When you eat small meals you burn more calories.You can start with a one
egg omelet, 2 slices of toast, fruit and yogurt. You should have 2 fruits a day
and add veggies to your lunch & dinner.

that sound do-able thanks for the feed back

Lower your calorie intake..low fat..Hugh protein..consistent workouts...should help a lot...easier said than done...I know! Good luck!

yeah zalyn1 jst try what npitzi said

Hi Meredith,
My first suggestion is to increase your activity and decrease the amount of processed foods you eat (pasta, bread, anything that doesn't spoil in a week, tv/freezer dinners, etc).

In regards to exercise, cardio is a great way to burn more calories in a short period of time. If you have children, service dog, or a significant other, taking an stroll around the block before (or after) dinner is a great option. Free weights are important for you upper body. Star by getting two different weights (8 & 3lbs) are a good start. Perform 2 sets of 15 bicep curls and shoulder presses (separately or combined) with the 8lb dumbbells. With your arms straight out forward, lift them up to shoulder height and back down. This is a front shoulder raise. Perform 2 sets of 10. Do the same thing with arms to your side. If you are able to gain access to a door mounted exercise band, perform all 4 exercises in the opposite direction (tricep extension, lat pulldown, front/side press down).

If you are a below-the-knee amputee, you might also be able to perform push-ups (which are practical in everyday activities when you are not in the wheelchair) and not to forget leg raises. If you are preparing for knee or midthigh prosthesis to aid in walking/running, increasing the strength of your hip flexors is very important. You can strengthen them while laying flat on your back when in bed or on the floor. Lift the limb(s) up one at a time as high as they will go and hold for 3 seconds, then slowly lower back down. The lowering part is the most important. That is were you will increase you strength fastest. Perform this 5-10 times, or to fatigue. Don't forget about core as well. Depending on how tender the ends of your amputated limb(s) is(are), you may be able to perform front and side planks. If that is not a option, lay flat on your back, bend and raise your knee(s)/limbs and hold a single 8lb dumbbell straight up in front of you. Slowly lower over head beings sure to

to keep your stomach tight and lower back from arching off the floor. Perform this 5-10 times, or to fatigue. To strength the lower back, roll over to your stomach and perform the "super man" pose. To perform this lift both your arms and legs off the ground and hold for as long as you can. Start by performing all of these exercises 2-3x a week and build yourself up to daily. The core exercises will be extremely important for balancing in your new prosthesis, so be sure to not allow yourself to cheat on those...or not perform them all together. Good luck and let me know if any of these exercises need tweaking to suit your needs! :)

Hello, I am working on being American Council on Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer now. Really hope tobe able to help others obtain their goals.

Looking for help to achieve my goals of being fit and healthy

That's great Prof_B! Welcome to the ACE network!

i m new in this profession , and searching for more knowledge ,,,, wishing all your help to improve my knowledge

guys pls help me to get rid off atleast 12 kg for 5 weeks..can that be possible??any suggestions??

Yes, that can be possible Zalyn1 but you must exercise daily AND adjust your diet to reduce human-made (aka processed foods) from your diet and eat more natural foods. There are a ton of recipes available online. Caffeine will also hurt you. My sister is a big advocate for Green Smoothies. A home schooling mother of two, she swears by them. Let me know if you are in need of more details suggestions when it comes to exercise, but I advice you to check out a previous post of mine called 2011 Kick Start Workout Guide or Total Body Workout. Good luck!

Can't wait to get started!!

Help Please!!! Hi everyone, My goal is to loose at least 10 lbs a week! Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can achieve this?? What workouts to use??

Hi Jenasu. First I must worn you that in order to lose 10 lbs in a single week you must burn 35,000 calories on top of the daily demands your body. That means 5000 calories a day. The average person burns 300-700 calories in single workout (45 mins to hr). That would require you to workout 17hrs if you're burning on the low end or 7 hrs if you burn on the high end.

If you are currently conditioned to exercising at a higher intensity at a longer duration, like with cycling, I would recommend cycling 2-3x a day for atleast an hour and a half at a time. You may be able to burn 1200 calories in that time, but you will really be needing to push it. I HIGHLY recommend getting a heart rate montior that has a built in calorie counter. That will save you the heartacke of trying to figure out how many calories you've burned. Also, the calorie counters built into treadmill and other cardio machines are not accurate and often over or underestimate it by as much as 200 calories.

Secondly, with jumping into a regmine that drastically, especially when you are not conditioned to exercising consistently...not to mention multiple times a day, you severely run the risk of pulling/tearing a muscle, over exhurting yourself, or becoming light headed from the excessive exercise without the fuel for the body to perform it.

Goodluck if you still choose to go on with it. But keep in mind that the people whom do this on tv are monitored around the clock by medical professionals and I do not recommend nor condone this type of exercise.

hi mam plz help me my watight is 80kg woh can loose it

Thanks

use lite weights and more reps. choose weights that are not too lite but where the last few reps there is some resistance.

The best way to get rid of the fat on your arms is to combine lots of cardio with weights and a process food free diet. Check out the new post which features weight programs with cardio. I'll keep an eye out for good nutrition based article to share with everyone.

Good luck all with all your goals!

I've learned that women don't bulk up like men unless they are hitting the gym 24hrs a day or are on steroids. We have been afraid of muscle but its the only way to get a toned, sexy youthful look. Without it you will look flabby

Half of that is correct Monise. Muscle is what makes woman look toned, youthful and sexy. As we age, our fat stores go from being periferal (just under the skin) to viseral (area lining our vital organs), which is why older people have veiny arms with their tendons showing in their hands. By routinely working out and overloading our muscles (meaning just give them more work that theyre used to, not necessarily killing yourself) you are able to keep muscle on the body. This will allow it to look more youthful as you age.

It is also true that women don't bulk up like men due to the lower levels of testosterone in our bodies. If they chose to take hormones to aide in their muscle growth (usually only applies to body builders), then they will most certainly bulk up.

The one false statement is that being in the gym 24hrs a day will make a woman bulk up. You won't bulk up by doing more. Actually, you will slim down. This is call a caloric deficit. When the body uses more calories than it takes in, it is forces to use other means of energy. The order in which it uses energy for any means is first carbohydrates, next fatty acid (triglycerides), and finally protein (aka muscle tissue...but this only happens if you are starving yourself). So make sure you are giving your body more fuel to keep burning carbs and fats! :) Lastly, during my competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu career I trained 3-4hrs/day 6days a week and I slimed down to my most toned, lowest (but healthy) weight of my life...even compared to playing sports in high school. So more doesn't mean bulk! It all depends on how you train. Shorter exercise generally results in greater muscle growth (bulk), so shoot for extending your exercise to cardio lengths (30+minutes).

Glad you liked it! :)

Ok, the post is 3 months old but I am gonna give it shot anyway....me and my sweet man have gave up smoking, starting powerjuicing in the AM, working out(not regular yet, just started that part), eating healthier and just have to look at the reflection in the mirror to stay motivated! Am kinda scared but feeling better everyday....the exercise part scares me cuz I am afraid of overdoing it and giving up because I hurt myself or something, ya know.
I had a session with a personal trainer, that set up an exercise program at the gym for me and in two weeks she will change it up after checking my progress. Mon, Wed, Fri. for now, cardio 5-6 times a week, resting on Sunday. Maybe my strenght training can increase to 4x a week after my change up in 2 weeks, we'll see.
So does this seem like I am headed in the right direction with this? I am 40, 100 pounds over-weight and been inactive for 2 years....HELP!!

Hi Jalee. It sounds like you are on a good start. Because with the drinking a lot of juice because of all the added and natural sugar, but it is good that its in the morning, because you have all day to burn it off.

Your program sounds ambitious but very do-able. The key is to be consistent! Especially because you haven't been active for so long, it is SO easy to give yourself a "day off" and that day turns into a week which turns into a month and so on. If you have the finances I recommend meeting with your trainer at least once a week for the first month and then reduce the frequency in which you meet as it becomes more of your regular routine.

Keep up the good work and let me know how your progress goes!
