    Weight loss after 45

    Not Cathe... But I'm in the same boat... I'm a 49 yr old mother of five. My legs, arms and butt are toned, my abs evidence the slight curve of a six pack BUT my Waist is thick & six inches wider than I ever remember!!! I spoke to my Dr about this, you know the "How can this be?", I...

    can you overlift?

    Hi, not Cathe, but I have some info. Working the muscle during lifting peaks after 35 to 45 min. After this your body releases cortisol to feed it. But you need to think of cortisol as a little pig. It stores loads of fat. Don't forget muscle feeds on fat which is why we lose fat and build...

    You have the right step...the base is 43x16 & stepping area is 40x14. You'll notice extra risers are 16x16. Hope that clears up any confusion.

    Body heating up quickly-advice?

    Hi, thought I'd chime in here. My body goes into what I call The metoboburn (ha). I start my workout with cardio 10 to 30 mins depending on what follows. After my cardio, as soon as I work out I "burn up". It's like a fever. After cooling down I'm still in full sweat. BUT my metabolism goes into...

    VHS quality question

    Don't laugh, but where are your stereo speakers. If they're too close they will cause this type of banding due to the magnets in them. They can also erase the tape.

    Fibromyalgia - routine suggestions???

    Thank you all for your responses. I will contact your mom soon Melissa, I so appreciate the offer. I'm up again, instead of cardio this time, I went straight to weights. I feel like I have muscle cramps but am spending more time in a stretch. Something will work!!!

    dumbells vs. barbell?

    I know about small space, my apt doesn't offer much. With what individual dumbbells cost you can get a small set or weights & barbell. Walmart has two great sets, one is 55lbs with a two-piece barbell for $20.00 and a 100lb set with a 2 piece barbell for $40.00. These sets are great. 55lb has...
