Does anyone know a weight loss strategy???

rubina — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:18:44 GMT

Hi, I am 23 years old and have been gaining on pounds and this is getting to me. The thing is that after several efforts of exercise and dieting, I don’t seem to get any slimmer! There are many ways to lose weight, but I have exhausted all the ways I know. I have consulted a few people but all of them have been telling me the same thing. It isn’t helping me and only making my fears worse.

Is there some way to make me feel better!!!

Pain After Work Outs

Hunter and Tylers Dad — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:38:51 GMT

I just started working with a trainer for the first time in my life. My wife and I are in extreme pain for days after our work outs. Is this normal when first starting out? I worked my Biceps, Triceps and Shoulders 2 days ago and I feel like I have seperated both shoulders and my arms are cramping up as i write this. The trainer advised to stretch and drink lots of water. We have done both and are still in a great deal of pain. Is there anyhting else we can do to minimize the pain from these workouts?

Electrolytes! Are you cramping after a workout?

TX runners — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:51:49 GMT

My calves used to cramp all the time after I worked out...now they dont- thanks to a friend that introduced me to enlyten electrolyte strips. These strips dissolve quickly in your mouth and are very convenient to use. I always take these before, during, and post workout! Do you want to try some samples? www.enlyten.com/angelas to see other products.

yoga therapy

SandraTycova — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:48:57 GMT

Yoga is beneficial for the health in ways that modern science is just beginning to understand. Even though it has been applied with therapeutic intention for thousand of years, Yoga Therapy is only just now emerging as a discipline in itself. More health care practitioners are starting to include yogic techniques in their approach to healing -- and more yoga teachers give a therapeutic intention to their teaching. People who have never tried yoga before are starting to consider including Yoga in their treatment plan.

As science begins to document the importance of understanding the interrelation of all existing things, it looks to Yoga with an intrigued eye, for Yoga speaks Unity in every word. As yoga techniques are researched and new data is gathered, it becomes easier for science and the medical establishment to understand and accept the benefits of Yoga Therapy.

Yet there is still not one consensual definition of the discipline. In order to arrive to an adequate definition and to come up with proper standards for Yoga Therapy, it is crucial at this early stage to properly address some delicate professional and ethical issues. At the same time it is important to educate the general public about Yoga Therapy's benefits and careful use.

5th Metatarsal Fracture! How to stay fit during recovery???!!!???

Annie Lehrer — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 01:48:40 GMT

You may not believe me when I tell you all that I have a sustained a 5th metatarsal fracture on my right foot after jumping on the bed....well, jumping off the bed. As i landed improperly on my foot and it buckled and i suffered a psuedo jones fracture of the right 5th metatarsal. My orthopod says it's right between a midshaft and jones fracture. I'm in an Aircast for now. I can bear weight with my boot on but my orthopod asked for a week of couch sitting, minimal weight bearing to go to the BR and kitchen and RICE. I will get re-evaluated on 10/29 to see how things are healing and to then see if internal fixation will be necessary. He does not think that it will. Anyway!....how the hell can i stay fit while not being able to run/walk/bike/swim at this time...or for the next 6 -12 weeks? He laughed at me when I asked about running a 10K in March. States my bone won't be ready for running for at least 8-12 months. What am I going to do. I have been doing sit ups and push ups but I don't want to be lop sided...strong on top but weak on bottom. I am worried about losing strength in my right LE and gaining weight. I'm already in a recovery mode despite the fact that this injury is only 4 days old. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated! I don't want to get mushy during recovery....especially when it's going to take place over the holidays. What the heck was I thinking jumping on the bed?!!??

How to stay active when you get bored easily?

amer3000 — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 06:12:48 GMT

Hello Eveyone,

I have been member of this board for a while but this is my first post. I do little bit of everything but I lose interest very easily. I am not over-weight but I do know that I am not physically fit.

Since gym bored me extremely, I quit gym and started looking at other form of exercises. I did rock climbing regularly for several months, it was exciting until I got semi good then it became just boring. Then i tried, swimming, running, working out with a video game, doing just push ups, using steppers while playing video games, and hiking. I got bored with all of these excersices.

I see a pattern here. All these excerices are solo or semi-solo activities and non-competitive. I really enjoy sports, I can play volleyball for hours but I cannot run for more than 30 minutes.

So I am thinking of picking up some sport for my new years resolution. My goal is to get regular cardiovascular exercise, at least one hour every week. I am reading about

various sports that are very cardio, like soccer, basketball, taek won do (and other martial arts), and tennis. Right now, I am leaning towards taek won do but its not really a team sport or competitive. However, it does seem like most active sport. Also since the instructor and other people will watching me, I will be motivated to finish the whole session.

So I was wondering if you have any suggetions or ideas. What do you think is the easiest sport to get started in? And which sport you think has most cardiovascular activity? Please let me know what you think.

Everyone have a great holidays!

Amer
