    training with an injury

    Hi. Recently I had a piece of hedge wood fall from our wood pile onto mainly the second toe of my right foot. It's not broken but badly bruised and cannot bend or help me with balance when doing lunges etc.... I've been doing modified ICE DVD's. I can't do the boot camp very well but can do...

    STS question

    I started STS this week. I figured my one rep max Sunday and began on Monday. When I figured my one rep max I wasn't lifting as fast as the DVD's. So when I started the DVD I couldn't keep up, so I lowered my weight. I feel like I can increase it though. I want to know if it's OK to do week...

    BMR/RMR question

    My clothes are kind of snug now. Feel like I'm going to burst out of my jeans when I sit. Yuck. I think my calories are lower than yours because I'm going through menopause and my DR said I can consume at least 200 calories less because of that. It really slows down the metabolism. So I'm...

    BMR/RMR question

    Thanks all. The link to that article was why I was asking. So my TDEE is 1799 so I should eat 1299 a day. I don't drink a ton of water, probably a liter while working out and directly after, then another liter throughout the day. And a few cups of decaf in the morning. I like herbal tea in...

    BMR/RMR question

    My BMR is 1320, my RMR is 1230. If I go 500 calories below either I'm going too low. How low is too low for a 49 year old who's going through menopause but in good shape. Want to loose that dreaded last 10 pounds. I'm 5'6", weigh 133, eat clean but too many almonds..... not loosing any more...
