I went back to college 3 weeks ago. I really don't want to gain weight from the beer, pizza, etc. Since I can't do step (no room, thin floors) and there are no 'good' gyms around, I've been running 4 days a week, but can only last for 30-35 minutes because I do a few hill intervals. I also do...

Hi! I wrote a week ago about taking a break from working out while I was on a weeks vacation. Well, I'm back, and let me tell you, I ate enough for a family of 10! I feel like the progress I made in my workouts are gone now because I ate so much horrible food. I admit, I never eat great, but 1)...

Cathe, I think you've said something about how you like to take a week off every once in a while to rest, and then when you start up again, you work out better. Could you expand on this, because I can't remember exactly what your opinion was. I've been working out pretty consistently, 3-4 days...

I was wondering, when fitness magazines give cardio program advice and say to do, for example, 60 minutes of cardio, does a 60 min spinning class count? - because about 10 mins of it is warming up and 10 mins is cooling down/stretching. Thanks

Thanks! You're both right, my body and fitness plan aren't ruined. I think I just needed reassurance. Plus, playing badminton and swimming between eating junk food make it a little better. Tonight, I'll go to spinning class and give it my all. Thanks again!

I know I'm not going to gain 10 lbs from eating lots of junk food (burgers, chips, soda, mac salad, cakes,...) during cookouts, etc., but I always feel so gross the next day, mainly because my tummy is so bloated. I'm trying to lose 5-10 lbs by September which I know is doable, but I feel like...

cardio vs weights Hi, I've read that it depends on what your goal is. If you're more interested in toning, do weights 1st; if you're more interested in losing weight, do cardio 1st. So then you can put 100% effort into your goal. When I was at a gym, one of the trainers said to do weights 1st...

Since it's warm (actually too hot here in PA!), I try to get outside and run more since I'm starting to get tired of aerobics (plus, the place I go to here at school is not air conditioned). But since it's so hot and I'm also not in great 'running shape', I only seem to last for 25 minutes with...

chocolate I agree, fruit does NOT satisfy me like chocolate. Luckily, my mom sends me packages of candy (m&ms, Hershey's minis, etc) to my college apartment every few weeks. It's weird because some people like my mom and roomie don't crave chocolate ever, instead they like things like mac &...

I've been terrible at exercising for the past 3 months because of lack of time and motivation. And there was a death in the family which meant neighbors bringing cakes and pies 24-7. But now, I want to start up again. I've gained about 10 pounds. I'm not huge or anything (since I'm still...

I guess this isn't a fitness problem but maybe I could get some help. My friend is upset over a past relationship and so she says she's not hungry and doesn't eat. For example, today she just had a piece of fruit and picked at a salad, which is definately not enough. She already looks...

I've been in a motivational rut for months now and REALLY need to start working out. My clothes don't fit well, and I don't feel as confident or healthy. So, I think I might join a gym, but the only one close to me that has spinning (my favorite other than step) is 15-20 mins away. It's $50/...
