bump! I'm curious too!

I saw that there was a post about runny noses. Now here is another one for you all: when I strength train I yawn constantly. I guess it's a lack of oxygen (I have mild asthma) It's not that big of a thing, but I've always wondered if I am the only one who does this. Any other yawners out...

Hi, I don't know how to link, but some good websites are: prevention.com asimba.com thriveonline.com fitness.com eFit.com Just to name a few. Enjoy!

bumping.

I had a massage last Saturday and asked her the same question. She said that it was a build up of lactic acid caused by simply working the muscles. I always thought lactic acid produced the burn, not the clicking noise. I'm not sure, but she said not to worry about it, the muscle will...

I'm bumping this up because I'm having the same problem.

Hi, I considering buying MIS. I know that I can use dumbells instead of the barbell - my question: does this tape use a step? I don't have one - can I do without? Thanks!

Thanks Cathe! I read the article in the April/May issue of Muscle & Fitness Hers. They interviewed Sharon Bruneau, who said that short people have thicker trunks and that ab work will make the muscle grow. I don't agree, but it seems that my lower belly is bigger since I've being doing...

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Why would we *cut back* on intensity, frequency and duration? Also, I had read that short people (under 5'5) should not do ab work because we (I'm 5'4 and apple shaped, 10 lbs overweight) have thicker trunks and will build up the ab muscle too much. Is this...

RE: Along with MIS... Thanks for the suggestions everyone!!!!

I had the same problem as you. I just read in Prevention that some people lose more weight by just eating 3 meals a day with nothing in between. I found that I was eating "mini-meals" all day long but never really feeling satisfied. Now I eat hot cereal, a hard boiled egg and juice for...

Hi, my name is Michelle & I'm relatively new to the forum & to strength training. I'm looking for a total body weight tape with no (or little) cardio, slow lifting, and no frills. I get my cardio thru running & walking, so I'm looking to get toned & strong. I truly do not have room for a...

Hi, I would like an answer to this too! I've been doing ab work for about 5 weeks now and my stomach is *huge* even though I have lost a couple pounds. I also exhale on exertion and try to suck in my abs whenever possible. Can anyone help?

Thanks everybody!

Thanks so much for your suggestions. The reason I hate them is because my balance is horrible (even when I hold onto something) and it is so difficult for me to keep my knees from going over my toes, especially on the lunges. But I like the idea of slipping in a few in the beginning. I'll...
