    4 weeks to wedding--best exercises?

    With only 4 weeks to go, I'm happy with my weight, but a little bikini-shy about my body composition. I don't expect any miracles, but I wanted some insight on best workouts to do over the next 4 weeks. I fell out of my workout routine with my tummy tuck 6 months ago. Now my tummy looks much...

    Biggest "bang" in a month (or rotation suggestion)

    I have just decided to "try out" for the novice rowing team at my school. I thought we only had club rowing to find out it has just been made an official sport, which has the added difficulty of tryouts. I'm FAR from the athletic capabilities desired, but the coach is encouraging me to tryout...

    The frustration of being overweight and unfit

    This past year (this will account for the discrepancy in my user name) I lost about 35lbs. Still, I am FAR from where I want to be, but of course I feel better. The reason I have come here is because I feel the need to re-evaluate my course of action and my goals. I run into a problem here...

    Always overweight: need help with a better body

    I have never been not-heavy. I am 19 and I have come to the realization that the only time I ever lose weight or do any good for my body is when I exercise. After having this epiphany, I want to hop on the fitness bandwagon really fast, but I want to do it with caution. I did a...

    3-4 days cathe, 3-4 days gym: any ideas?

    I have been doing a protein-sparing modified fast to drop some pounds and give me a "kick start" to getting healthier. Right now I'm at a crossroads and not sure if I want to continue the fast to continue the quick weightloss or do a more balanced weightloss plan, but what I know for sure is...
