Im am quite overweight so p90x isnt gonna be at my level, I couldnt do pull ups and push ups, I also had back surgery 5 years ago and I want to be careful what program I do. Please someone help meeeeee!
What about Fatbo . and stop stuffing youre face so that you can lose some of those sweet rolls.
It hurts every time I exercise and it involves my lower leg. At night my lower legs get restless I can’t run for like more than 30 seconds without them hurting, I can’t bike, I can’t dance. And I am perfectly healthy but my legs are very flexible.
What does the pain feel like? does it feel like sore muscles? or a burning/itchy feeling?
If its a burning/itchy feeling (feels like ants are biting you), I best describe it as sleeping muscles & nerves waking up for the first time. After a week or two, the muscles and nerves "wake up" and it goes away.
I’m a marathon runner and when I take long breaks of not running, I get those pains.
If your Shins hurt, they feel really weak and numb with sharp pains, those are shin splints, and will go away with stretching, rest and proper exercises.
Sore Muscles & Cramps & Tight Muscles (in the calf/thighs):
Drink lots of water. You’re muscles need water when you’re exercising. 2 liters a day, and before/during/after your activity. Also Potassium from Bananas help to regular the water throughout your body to prevent cramps.
Before you do exercises that involve your legs, its important to do stretches to warm up the muscles and not injury yourself. Yoga would be great for that. Slowly strengthen your muscles then try running & biking.
Your problem at night sounds like Restless leg syndrome: https://www.google.com/health/ref/Restless+leg+syndrome
I got that as a side effect from an Allergy medication. I ended up doing a really intense leg workout and it went away, also I stopped taking that medication.
hope it helps.

I haven’t found these to be more expensive than quality home-gyms, but you’re right, they are expensive.
I’ve seen sets costing up to $400.
They are compact and cover a range of exercises. They could also be used when travelling.
Also, the cheaper home-gyms have cheap components. Basic bench, hollow steel pipe framing and elastic ropes and pulleys for resistance. An adjustable dumbbell set has solid blocks or pipes of steel.
I am looking to set up a home gym or 2 to 3 home fitness machines…any recommendations?
For my home gym, I consulted with http://www.homegymconsulting.com/, Kris DeMarco really helped me optimize my personal home fitness retreat and helped me get started in the right direction.
Many years ago – many, many years ago – there was this home fitness thing that was basically a spring inside of a telescoping rod, with handles on both ends (so it could be pushed shut against resistance), and it had cables between the handles (so when you pulled the cables apart, the telescoping rod pushed in on itself, again providing resistance).
You could, for example, hold it like a bow-and-arrow, and pull on the cables for resistance.

Bad representation.
I don’t even remember what it was called, but it was very useful.
Does anyone know what it is called, adn if they are sold anyhmore? I cannot even look on eBay, since I don’t know what it’s called (and "fitness thing" doesn’t seem to work well.)
I think you mean the Bullworker.
I have cheer practice every mon-thurs but I need to exercise on my own too. I don’t want to lose weight, but stay fit and healthy. What is a good routine for me that is different exercises every day? Like maybe 30 mins of cardio then the next day 50 sit ups or what? Also, what does each work out focus on toning?
Thanks! ♥ ♥ ♥
I subscribe to fitness magazine and just recently i was trying to find a routine for myself to help me exercise a little everyday at home. I came up with the idea to cut out exercise routines from magazines and put them on index cards. I put them in a basket or box and pull one each day on whatever muscle group i’m working on. It works well, only a few minutes a day and I have different routines to do daily.
I would like to plan a daily exercise routine that involves sit-ups, weight lifting such as bicep curls (with 3 lb. weights), maybe using my stairmaster….. but I don’t know how many sit-ups, and bicep curls I should do a day for it to be effective? I am very slim and would like to get some toned muscles on my arms and legs and stomach.
why dont you try the Lil Jack workout video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezris
I know there are many diets that – if followed – help you lose weight.
But some diets say they will help you lose belly fat first. Do these diets really work for that?
Everything that I have read or experienced says that you cannot choose where the fat is lost on your body. However, there are toning exercises that would help the abdomin to firm up, and turn the fat into muscle. You need to drink looootttsssss of water though.
What should I eat before doing 2 hours of cardio exercise? I am female.
Something light, like a granola bar. You don’t want to have too much in your stomach while you’re doing a lot of moving around (you might get sick). I personally like Special K and NutriGrain bars (either 1 Special K or 2 NutriGrain).
