Is Your Workout Making You Fat?
This week, I circle back to my partner and fitness guru Tracy Anderson as myself and various cohorts have some questions about diet and maximizing time spent in the gym. Some of these said cohorts have been training for marathons and spinning regularly with odd results and wanted some answers. Another has just a few last holiday pounds to shed. Tracy has very kindly provided us with her insights and a 15-minute workout to use as an add-on to your regular workout or to get you started. Either way, she's freaking awesome. And this week, just in time for Valentine's Day (or if you want to get a jump on Mother's Day), is our exclusive collaboration with one of my fave jewelry designers, Jen Meyer. Give (yourself) the mum necklace. You deserve it.;)
Love,
gp

I started WW again a month ago with 19.6 lbs. to lose. I should be down around 5 total at my weigh-in Saturday. Stoked!
I am thinking of doing this from April 1 to 30 but I'm kinda scared... D: Anyone ever done it before?

On a sad note, I got an MRI done on my knee yesterday...have a follow-up appointment next week. Hope it's nothing serious. Ruined my marathon dreams. :[ I want to run at least one, damn it!
no way could I do this. I thrive off of beans.
I used to love plugging in my mother's recipes into the builder to find out just how bad for me everything was. Spoiler alert: it was all terrible for me.
"Without a truly keen mind/body connection and ability to control swinging weights, you can easily injure yourself" No shit Sherlock, but that goes for every work out. Or maybe concentrating because you are working with swinging weights actually prevents injuries.
she's perfect if you ignore her weight loss tips & that pathetic dance cardio she does
I'm in a slump and I don't feel like going outside and I've been jump roping in my house and it kicks my ass. I wish I could get a gym membership!
i signed up for a vinyasa yoga class! it's only once a week. and i miss my dance courses i used to take in HS/early college, but i just do it at home now lol
Throw a couple of teabags in a pitcher of cold water and stick it in the fridge overnight. Take out the bags in the morning. Yum.
i live on tea and natural energy.
A woman on one of the exercise sites that I visit posted a pic of her non-strap HRM (the same model I had before Polar) after a Zumba class with over a 1K calories burned on it and I had to restrain myself to keep from shitting all over her accomplishment parade.
I used to work for gyms and every trainer I know says it is pretty much impossible to burn 1K calories during a work out if you're not a professional athlete or start out with 35 min in an infrared cabin (burns about 300 calories and warms up the muscles so you can go full throttle from the start, definitely not recommended for non-pros though), so maybe her HRM is just being 'nice' to her.

And I say ignore people's remarks about you looking too skinny. You know that you're not eating fast food and that you do eat when you're hungry. You're working out, eating better than you used to...you're working hard and your hard work is paying off! Keep doing the things you're doing...:-).
as long as you're comfortable with yourself and you know you're staying healthy by eating enough and exercising normally, there's no reason to care about what other people say or think
She can GTFO.
Just stop right there. You are serving straight up rich bitch realness. A bottle of that shit probably costs more than my entire paycheck.
and i started doing some heavier weights now, over 5 lbs. best idea i ever had.
that would be okay if i lived somewhere where it was warm all year round :(
