Fitness Training Without The Trainer



Recommended Posts

Need some ideas......

I was sleeved in August and I am down 80lbs overall. I've been happy with my results so far, but I feel like I have lots to learn in the gym. Right now I am working out 3 days a week by doing a 10min warm up walk on the track followed by 20-30mins of varying intensity cycling on the stationary bike ending with some arm focused weight machines. I try to either get ab focused workouts in or just mild cardio (treadmill) for 3 days and one day of rest. With all of this I think I should see more firming instead of more jiggles! Any tips on getting a good training routine without hiring a personal trainer?

Yes, ma'am! You need more focus on resistance training. Cardio will do nothing to tighten things up. If you want help with a routine, message me and I can set something up for you. I had ZERO issues with skin when I dropped from a size 24 to a 10 using weights and ab/core work.

Now if anyone can tell me how to make stretch marks disappear, I'd love ya forever! LOL

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
