Avatar f tn Treadmills and other cardio machines are ideal for helping you burn calories to lose weight. Try to avoid leaning heavily on the handrails. Check the gym's weight-training area to learn how to use a weight-training machine. For beginners, machines are a suitable way to exercise without the risk of using dangerous, incorrect form with free weights. Always consult the machine's instructions before use. Avoid overtraining.
Avatar f tn cardio helps you burn fat while weights help tone you up. i would do both. for example, if you go to the gym 5 days a week, i would set 2 of those days for focusing on weights or body sculpting exercises while the other 3 could be for cardio workouts. sometimes there are classes available at the gym for both those options, cardio and sculpting. cardio is excellent in that it gets your heart rate up easy. but be sure to change it up and get some interval workouts in while on the cardio machines.
Avatar f tn Men can do cardio workouts five times a week for 30-minute sessions, or break up the workout into shorter, more frequent sessions. You can start out by walking outside or on a treadmill. Record your workouts and measure your weight loss in inches and pounds each week to stay on track and see your progress. You might build muscle mass in the beginning, which weighs more than fat, so do not be alarmed if your weight fluctuates at first.
193609 tn?1292180293 All the cardio machines have a 13 inch TV on them, and have the Dish Network! I love working out there and their weight machines are great! I also just started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred! that 30 minute video will kick your butt!! I recommend that to anyone that gets bored after a while...this video is short and to the point!!!
Avatar f tn Hi! I had a lapratomy about 4 months ago. I'm very active and was used to working out everyday, lifting weights and running before surgery. Like you, I was antsy to get back into the routine. It's very important that you don't push it. I walked a lot during my recovery. Then at about 5 weeks, I felt okay enough to go back to the gym. I started my workouts only 3 days a week at the gym.
550943 tn?1330727580 I am not sure about just weight training. I do know that my friend who just had her baby stayed in great shape by doing yoga specially for pregnant women. She also walked 4 miles a day and snow shoed and anything else to stay active that wouldn't put strain on the fetus. She had a healthy weigt gain for the baby, yet was back to her pre baby weight almost immediatley.

Avatar f tn I broke my neck about 20yrs ago (not sure the #s but higher in my neck) but never had any pain after recovery. This new workout program gave me some new machines I had never used before. One is where I lay on my hips on a bar and my legs are held down and I bend at the waist with my hands behind my neck and bend up and down for back muscle strenght. I never felt any pain doing the workouts and used light weights since I knew I am out of shape and didn't want to overdo it.
Avatar m tn A rowing machine provides aerobic workouts to the biceps, triceps, pectoralis muscles, and the upper back muscles. An upper body ergometer (arm bike) looks like an upside-down bike that is pedaled with your hands. In the pool, shallow water arm movements with leg stabilization can be done to stress the arms, chest and upper back. With assistance, a seated modified boxing workout can be completed with the aid of medical personnel. Basic cardio.
Avatar f tn I was at the gym probably a little more than a week ago using one of the weight lifting machines for my shoulders, on the last repetition I must have strained myself too much and got a sharp pain at the very top of my neck below my skull followed by a bad headache. Now whenever I try and lift weights I get rather severe headache that lasts anywhere from 15-45 minutes and I feel kind of dizzy and lightheaded.
Avatar f tn However back to the point, I find myself craving water and veggies ( and sometimes pizza)! I love going to a buffet and not even wanting fried anything, and going straight to the steamed veggies and fresh fruit! It really is a mindset. You CAN do it!
558947 tn?1216048833 I would like to ask you, if I may, do you have any side effects from the medication you are on. I assume I will probably be on the same, or something which does the same.
11464625 tn?1422861172 After implementing a new workout routine or program, it’s common to be sore for the first few workouts, but the soreness shouldn’t linger more than a few days. Soreness is your body’s way of saying that it needs recovery before the next session. It’s not necessary to be sore after every workout to experience results. Consistently leaving your body in a sore wreck is a perfect way to eventually end up over-trained.
Avatar m tn Most important is that the heart rate located on these machines are not accurate!! Buy your own HR monitor. The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate zone. The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work most effectively during your cardio workouts.
Avatar n tn Strengthening your core theoretically also helps your back, as it takes some of the strain of activity off the back. But as to which exercises to do, and how to do them correctly, for that you should seek professional help. Getting advice on the internet doesn't show you very well how to do these exercises, and you can't tell the internet, hey, that one hurts. You can tell that to a live person.
Avatar n tn Are you talking about the Ceragem Massaging machines? It is nice to have machines to massage you but you need to move your body to lose weight. Walking is a great way to lose weight. Increase your physical activities to 1/2 hour a day. That 1/2-hour can be broken up through the day, 10 minutes here and 20 minutes there. For example, park your car in the back of the parking lot and walk to the store. That will give you additional walking.
Avatar n tn If u were doing exercises or training b4 u got pregnant u can continue doing the same thing just have to modify some of the exercise like u can't do anything on ur stomach once ur belly comes out or lay on ur back once ur abt 20 weeks. As long as u don't have any medical complications. If u weren't doing anything b4 and u want to start u can do very basic exercise like swimming walking stretching yoga. I exercise b4 so I continued.
Avatar n tn I want to workout my abs and thighs. Any workouts that you have in mind to help me workout?
Avatar n tn What do you ladies do for workouts while pregnant? Any schedules or specifics you follow? Any good advice? Im really trying to keep my body in shape.
Avatar f tn I worked out 4-56 times a week and now I can barely get 3 workouts in. I even made a schedule for a specific pregnancy workout I found on pinterest and walking and elliptical. We just have to listen to our bodies I guess! I felt Bette when I went to the doctor today because they told me to work out 3 maybe 4 days a week and only for a maximum 20 min..
4936507 tn?1365361667 And my leg was jerking. I put ice on it, then tried heat. Eventually I was finally able to get back to sleep and this morning my legs feel fine other than a little tingly when I'm sitting down. I've been working out regularly since January and have participated in these classes a number of times without any problem.
Avatar f tn What type of machines detected your lesions? My MRI was taken with a 1.5T and am curious what strength others have had that lead to their diagnosis. What strength are the MS Specialists using for detection?? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I've done a few workouts but not consistent. Just when I don't feel like I'm going to be sick. I hope it'll be easier to get back into it. I may look into pregnancy workouts. I know amazon has quite a few to sort through so we will see.
