Ooh okay, thanks so much . It's just that some of the girls on turbo jam looked kinda muscle-ish haha.

[x3virgie]

i have been working out for a long time, maybe three months but i haven't been losing weight.

30 minutes of jumping rope/jumping jacks
10 minutes trampolining


8-min abs video
3 sets of 15 squats
3 sets of 5 lunges on each leg
3 sets of calf raises

why am i not losing weight?

[mwahai]

sorry if this has already been asked: what are some good brands of protein or snack bars? i hear about these suggestions all the time, but i don't know which ones are the most nutritious and natural. thanks in advance!

I buy the Kashi bars, they have 7g protien and plenty of fiber. One of their bars contain flax seed, which has omega 3s in it too!
The South Beach Diet bars are pretty good too, I think they have around 10g protien

sorry to burst your bubble but if my information about biology is correct you can't change your bones without extreme measures (I mean extreme surgery treatment kinda stuff) your bone structure is genetic. Also even though you can't change your bone shoulder width, you can make the appearance of a wider frame by building up your shoulder muscles (sorry don't know the technical term for it haha) anyway good luck lol.

[chyea dann]

hey, i just started working out, but i'm also trying to focus on my diet.

i know there are 'power foods' that i can eat (nuts, veges, etc) during the day, but does anyone have personal favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

just simple, easy to make meals would be great. thanks!

you can't make your bones bigger. you can make yourself look bigger with muscles though. do weight training.

i'm sorry i hope i don't offend you, but you seem like you're not really serious about losing weight. because you talk about not being able to stop from eating junk food, and then mentioning diet pills.

at 5'2 weighing between 131-133 sounds a bit over average. What is your BMI, really, because you're saying you're almost over weight?

i hate to tell you this also, you can't lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks/ one month, unless you are reallllyyy large. which you're not. healthily, to keep it off, you should only lose between 1-2 pounds a week, lowering body fat content as well.

you're getting your cardio in , that's for sure. i'm not sure if you're weight training enough. so incorporate like 3 days of weights, and like 5 days of cardio.

it's good that you're exercising more, but when you do, you need to eat more too. the RIGHT KINDS of food though. 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% good fats. it's all mentality, you say you want to lose weight.

all this takes mind power and self will and discipline. are you up for it? you mentioned abs, legs, and so forth, and losing weight. you have to lose fat everywhere to see those, and use weight resistance to tone those muscles in order to help burn fat.

and again, diet pills do work, they're dangerous and not healthy though. so again, you kinda made it sound like you're not reallly serious about it i'm sorry, i hope i don't offend you. but i hope you learn that it really takes pure dedication and hard work to lose real fat/ weight. good luck.

well, i eat about 1500 calories a day, according to my food diary.
well, its like medium-speed jumproping and jumping jacks.

For breakfast, I usually eat fat-free yogurt (Yoplait) + adding 1/4 cup of flax&pumpkin seed granola. It's super yummy and filling!

[autuymnrain]

i meant are you getting proteins, complex carbs, etc? because the "diet" part is really like 75% of it

Optimum Nutrition out did themselves again. Those who are looking for a bad ass supplement check it out.

Nitro Core 24

Just ordered mine, kind of expensive but it has all bases covered. I will review it when it gets here! This is the best blend out there... I can't wait!

[tripperazn]

Is it possible to gain lean mass and cut fat at the same time? More specifically, is it possible to have significant muscle synthesis during recovery if you don't consume more calories than your body needs? Is it enough to take in the required amount of protein everyday?

[aaandy]

You have to consume more protein. Required amounts are for maintaining current muscle. Your body will burn what it needs for energy therefore you must eat alot. Yes, it is possible to build muscle and burn fat aka clean bulking.

[Azngel]

[mwahai]

^^
Cardio is a exercise that makes your heart rate faster, so it strengthens your heart I guess.
Such as running, dancing, or anything that makes you sweat buckets and gets your heart rate up.
