This happened to me with the birth of my baby. I was constantly hopping on it to see how much I had lost and eventually the weight loss slowed then stopped. As of yesterday I took the batteries out of the scale and put the scale in the back of a closet in the basement- not an easy place to dig...

With current research it is said that 2 days is now optimal bc not only do you work each muscle group twice per week (the same as a 3 day split x2) but it allows the body more time to heal, repair, and grow. It's especially true when you do other activities like cardio, Hiit, and so forth as the...

Thank you! :D

There is a difference between muscle inflammation and water retention/swelling. Inflammtion refers to injury/healing process and swelling is when the muscle absorbs more water. Two completely different things and two completely different reasons why it happens. Long and short- you get water...

Thank you! I prayed for a very long time to have her and at the beginning of 2012, I said that all I wanted for Christmas was a beautiful baby girl and I got it. She's amazing and the joy she has brought into our lives is priceless. She however at this very young age is fighting nap time...

This show sets unrealistic expectations for the world. Most people don't research just how the contestants got their results- dehydrating themselves to the point of peeing blood, stress fractures, and the eating disorders and body hatered that these people develop is extremely harmful to...

It's a very individual thing. It depends mostly on the ratio of Slow Twitch to Fast Twitch muscle fibers you have. For me when I did mostly heavy weight I had more muscular legs with large "diamonds" on my quads. When I used higher reps (physical therapy exercises) combined with 2 step...

I've always thought Cathe had a great figure! I've been a fan of her's since 2008 and she has always had a nice physique. I think her legs are great and it's because of her that I fell in love with yoga capris! I had only seen them a few times at the gym and seeing her and the crew in the capris...

I sold mine. I felt it was too much of a space hog for one, but secondly it was too wobbily for me to feel comfortable using it as a barbell rack. I liked it for barre work but I rarely do those types of workouts so it wasn't in my best interest to keep it. Check eBay perhaps you can find...

Tennis Elbow can cause this as well as tendonitis in the biceps and carpel tunnel in wrists. The weight could be too much for the connective tissues and/or joints and/or the angle of the grip could be an issue too. Some people can adjust grip and find relief others have to decrease the weight as...

I think you need to reread what I wrote. For one I didn't say anything about NOT lifting heavy bc of hormones. I said hormones play a factor in how our bodies respond. There is a HUGE difference in those two statements. Secondly I said our joints differ from men especially the knee and...

Lifting weights is beneficial- it doesn't have to be heavy either. In fact any resistance training will work. Walking has been shown to increase bone density as well. Body weight, low reps, high reps, resistance bands, DBs and BBs, etc will all help. Heavy isn't the only way to go and it's a sad...

This is one of the reasons why I stopped body building and kickboxing competitions. I am just now 30 yrs old and I have more injuries from sports and lifting that most people would have from living well into their 80s. I have tennis elbow in both as well as tendonitis in my biceps, impingements...

I am someone that found it dangerous. It messed my shoulder up so badly!!! Too much shoulder work IMO. It's also very repetitive like someone else said and I cannot stand the same dang warm up and cool down over and over again. There's some pretty heavy mugging for the camera too- over the top...

I painted my stomach as a jack o' latern! But that really doesn't count. Had my puppy-girl not passed away in September we were going to dress our 3 (now 2) dogs in great white shark costumes and I was going to be a shark attack victim complete with entrails. But sweet smoosh-bear, baby girl...

Not a runner and I don't use the socks, but I have and do use the compression sleeves, as does my husband. We purchased them from Tommy Copper and they make a night and day difference. Hubby has poor circulation in his legs anyhow and he wears them when we go on walks, long trips, and plane...

If you don't count pregnancy- I have maintained and even lose with 20-30 minutes 3-4 days per week. I started using The Firm Wave in Jan of this year and with the exception of 1 workout all clocked in at 20-35 minutes. When I didn't feel like using DVDs, I walked (except during the summer due to...

Like my Grandpa used to say, "Don't do as I do, do as I say". I used to be there too, literally. It takes time and for me, it took seeing someone professionally. Give yourself time and freedom. Even just in little doses.

I've done this many times and for me it stems from: * Eating less bc I am not as active, therefore my body doesn't need as much * I am MORE active in other ways during daily life- I find I have more energy or at the very least more time to get other things done. When I get into the throws of...

I packed our hospital bag and diaper bag this weekend and put in a tigers snuggly blanket for baby. Now it's just waiting to see if she'll be here during or after the series. But just in case, we're prepped to show our home team support.
