The articles are for everyone. Some are obviously targeted more for those that are more hardcore or those want to look like a bikini model.. but the point she was making in the article (and several other on that site) is that when you build endurance you're increasing just that: endurance...

Yeah I think it's be settled as soon as my partner mentioned the possibility of leaving me if I didn't want children.. what if you start trying and one of you isn't able? Would he leave then? ..Ive known it to happen :-\

Id love to know what causes these wretched things! Im nowhere near menopause and I get them too! Used to be here and there, but for the past month or so its been every night.. relentless :( I started getting hot flashes in early HS.. they aren't so often anymore, but still around. Here's a...

Good Morning FitnessFreak and congrats on your weightloss! And hello and good afternoon fellow Manics! Today was a lighter leg day with some cardio.. I have a few to lose myself :) Legs- Squats 3 X 15 Sissy Squats 3 X 10-15 Deadlifts 3 X 10 (whew these were hard) Static Lunges 3 X 8 Sissy...

Hey Linda- How do you like the Versa Grips??? Ive been thinking about getting them when I have a little extra $$ flowing around here ;) but I wanted to get some personal reviews, they look great though.. until then the 'ol fashioned strap and chalk will have to do.. would you still need the...

I wouldn't do it all in one day. I wouldn't do it for all the exercises either.. just the ones you do the most. For example, on leg day, instead of following the routine exactly, make the first set you do (only of the exercises you want to 1RM for) the one you use to test. On leg day I did my...

Yay!! That's so exciting for you! I know the feeling.. way back when.. I was in HS and wanted to run for exercise.. the first time I ran a lap I didn't *quite* make it all the way aorund and I passed out on the grass! (not literally).. I kept it up until I almost hit 2 miles (I got the 7 laps)...

Ah yes, duh I misread a little.. :) You are right, very hard to burn fat and build muscle (very tricky macro-calculating and whatnot). If you want to maintain strength and muscle Id recommend still lifting heavy, maybe more in the 8-12 range. No endurance stuff-- you're doing enough of that...

Hi Jennifer, If you want to build strength (as oppesed to endurance or mass-only), you would want to train heavy, and in the 4-8 rep range. Utilize a lot of compound movements mostly (deadlifts, squats, lunges, cleans, presses) and supplement with the more isolated movements towards the end of...

MC- Perhaps he's blowing the amount of work out of porportion because he will be working all day while you (or whomever?) takes care of the baby.. maybe because you will most likely be the one dragging out of bed in the middle of sleep to attend the baby? .. Perhaps not, but maybe he should...

Good Morning! I got up earlier this morning than Im used to.. still feeling a tad underweather so not sure what Ill be doing today.. definity some cardio later when I can breathe better and open my eyes (this rainly gloomy weather makes it hard to actually 'wake up').. maybe do legs if I think...

Yes you could certainly still see gains with a smaller split.. I would definitly take advantage of the full body training though... or if you can't rest 2-3 days in btw then maybe a 3-day split would be good for you. Full body workouts activate the most muscle fibers which will get you burnng...

ALL HAIL THE MP3 PLAYER - lol I wish I could afford an MP3 player (nope, still dont have one).. although I mostly train at home now.. I go to the gym every few leg days to utilize the squat rack (which I still dont have) and some of the pulldown cables.. When I see someone has an MP3 player on...

That's what they're called!!! They used to make (something vaguely resembling these) back in the late 80's.. I had one (along with everyone else).. I couldn't remember what rediculous thing we called it.. it was a TRIKE! Sorry to jump in without any answers (but I was thinking on that one...

WELCOME HEATHER!! Everyone posts one thing or the other (diet/exercise)-- or both on this thread so you can always reference it. You can even get meal ideas from those that post that as well :) Today I finished yesterdays workout that I was too psent to finish.. plus some cardio (ugh)...
