haganenokokoro-deactivated20110 asked: Hi. I've been curvy for all my life, and I'm always concerned about my weight. But officially, I started my daily exercise and calories deficit 2 months ago. The problem is, I don't see any change in my body. The only thing different is that I gained energy to do simple things I couldn't in the past.
So,please, is that normal or I'm doing something wrong? Should I...

The Two Choices We Face...
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a...

Anonymous asked: I'm looking at training plans for half marathons, and they all seem to include doing timed intervals (such as 6x400m) and stuff like that. All these plans are mostly about improving your time though, and I don't care about that. Should I still add these to my training ?

Tomorrow Is Never Promised
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they...

Stay Hungry
I look down on people who are waiting, who are helpless. I like people who think there is more to life than eating or going to the toilet. Ever since I was a child, I would say to myself, “There must be more to life than this,” and I found that I didn’t want to be like everybody else. I wanted to be different. I wanted to be part of the small percentage of people who were...

Thanks so much!
For are your wonderful fitness questions. There is so much misinformation out there it can be hard to make sense of what we are supposed to do. But together we’ll make sense of how to accomplish our goals. This kind of knowledge shouldn’t be relegated to scientists with Phd’s or expensive personal trainers.
So please keep the questions coming. I’m here to help and...

If I hear a popping sound coming from my pelvic region when I do mountain climbers, is that serious or just a flexibility problem?

mynameistrouble asked: I am super happy I found this blog, it's great! Thanks for taking the time out to answer all these questions. Anyway, I would love to have toned arms. I don't have much fat on them, but I'm wondering if it's safe/healthy to work on toning them or any specific muscle area out everyday?

Now my question:
I have heard different theories about your post workout meal. I was told that you have to eat a quick carb right afterwards and then protein with in the hour as well. What are your thoughts?

Anonymous asked: I am having trouble putting together a balanced fitness routine. There's cardio, strength, then yoga and pilates... I'm not sure how to combine a plan that involves all of these and is not totally unrealistic (like me trying to work out 2 hours a day). Any advice?
Anonymous asked: I'd like to start getting into more cardio workouts, but I tend to get out of breath within a few minutes (obviously, it's not my strength haha), but do you have any tips for beginners? I'm especially interested in running, so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!
hellafauxfur asked: Hi! I was wondering if you had any tips or advice on protein bars? you know, the type we see at the gym. I'm wondering if they have any secret ingredient that's actually counterproductive. I don't have that many, maybe like 2 a week. Either Kashi or fitnesszone. Just wondering your thoughts on it. thanks!

Today happens to be national fitness day at my college. There’s a huge line for the free subway sandwiches they were giving out and for the prizes they were giving away.
