Avatar f tn My doctor wants me to do 2 certain types of leg lifts and he wants me to do 5 sets of 10 reps of each, plus arm lifts with weights - also 5 sets of 10 reps. Sure, I will, as soon as I work up to that!! Right now, I'm doing 2 sets of 5 reps of each and I'm only using 3 lb weights. When I first started, it was a real struggle. It's still a work out, but no longer a struggle. I think, by this weekend, I might be able to add another 5 set of 5 reps.

7975661 tn?1403095318 Anyone have some pregnancy workouts they can share? I just wanna keep my butt and legs nice and tone, lol. Pregnancy has made me so self concious, I am not wanting this for anyone else but I want to FEEL okay with myself. I didn't realise how upset I would be and worried about gaining weight. I know its all for my beautiful baby boy and it is perfectly normal but I feel like sh!t. So far I am 19 weeks so haven't gained anything yet but I will and I am just worried.
Avatar f tn Shortly after i bumped up the challenge and started doing insanity asilum!(omg it was the best hard working earned workout i ever done) but in the middle of it i found out i was pregnant and had too stop bexause i didnt want too harm my baby. My hubby is a personal trainer so him and i did both togethet and some. My question im 5weeks today and was wondering when did you guys IF any one worked out during pregnancy what montg did you start? And what exercise did yall do?.
Avatar f tn I believe if you do moderately low weight, but lots of reps is the best way to tone. Biking is my favorite method. If it is fat around your hips/legs there is no way to target that. Your body starts storing from one area and moves to another the more you gain. And fat loss works the same. First place you gain it is the last to lose it. Running is my favorite way of taking care of fat.
Avatar f tn style of 21 reps then 15 reps, then 9 reps of three or four different movements (i.e., 21 squats, push-ups, sit ups, lunges, then 15 of each, then 9 of each) and to finish the ladder as fast as I could. It's surprising how much butt kicking that sort of short burst of activity can provide. There are also apps for this and most crossfit gyms post their workouts of the day (WODs) on their websites.
Avatar m tn Learn to increase resistance properly. Focus on reps before weight. If a set calls for eight reps, any weight where you can do six to 10 reps is the right amount. If you can do more, increase the weight; if you can't do six, drop back. Write down what you eat.

Business woman1 i am curious and desperate to know how I can tone up my lower arm area. The arms are apparently lacking muscle tone and hanging quite loosely. my arms look like flag posts with flapping flags. Help me. Excercise,workout,equipment.? I am willing to do whatever it takes.
Avatar f tn m a cross country runner, so i eat a lot more down and my workouts vary depending on the team). Anyways, since i lost all this weight, my body has changed and i'm much thinner but sadly i still have some untone muscle and skin on my stomach and little flubber on my upper upper inner thighs. Daily I run anywhere from 3-6 miles and i do three sets of crunches, "russian twists", planks, and lunges.
Avatar f tn My strength training is 3x per week and my routine is 1 rep at the maximum weight with perfect form then 12 reps. at a lighter weight then 25 reps. lighter. this is done on machines so the only rest is when I place the pin in the next weight class. I then rest for 90 seconds and repeat this 2 more times.

740456 tn?1260449809 If your worried about building too muscle and becoming bulky (although this is quite hard for women to accomplish anyway) do very light weight and many many reps. Set a goal of how many reps you want to do, if your arms are not tired by the time you reach that number keep going till they are. Record the number in excel on a spreadsheet and try to go up 5-10% of the number per day till you feel like you are doing alot!
Avatar f tn I like doing upper and lower body on the same days.( Mon. Wed. and Fri.) That's my preference! You can do the same or If you want you could do upper body on Mon. Wed. and Fri. Then do lower body Tue. Thur. and Sat. First thing before doing any exercise is to warm that muscle by lifting a light weight about 10 times to bring blood to and warm that muscle! As for how much weight to lift it's important to perform the exercise correctly!! (perfect form).
193609 tn?1292180293 i also sit on my hands nad knees with my stomach parallel to the floor, and i keep my upper arm to my side, then i lift backwards, making my arm go from an L position to a straight line then back down...i dont know how else to discribe these...sry...you could always just look up some good weight training exercises...and as long as you dont get weights that are too heavy and you focus more on doing more reps per set than maxing out in weight, you wont get bluky muscly you know?
964096 tn?1299507336 I would have you do a total body workout 2-3 times per week to start with making sure to skip at least one day in between total body workouts. You should be doing 1 to 2 sets of 15 to 20 reps for each exercise, one exercise per major muscle group. You need one day of rest per week, so 6 days/wk of working out at most. Next, stop taking diuretics/laxatives! Although you may lose a few pounds in the short run, the weight you "lose" is from water, not fat, and you will gain it back.
Avatar f tn You should not work the same muscle every day!! You should give it a days rest. If you work your upper body on Mondays then on Tuesdays do your lower body and Wed. upper and Thur. lower. You want to work each body part at least 3x per week. Start off easy and slowly increase the weights or reps.
10028419 tn?1416841704 I have been working out my entire pregnancy with the same exercise regimen. Just be sure to do lighter weights and higher reps. Take longer rest in between sets. Stay away from ab workouts, dont let anything hit your stomach, be careful of lunges ,you can lose ur balance. Squats put too much pressure on ur stomach, try to do other leg workouts, such as leg press ,hamstring curls etc. When you do cardio try to keep ur heart rate below 142.
Avatar m tn But then I started doing circuit training and using a stationary bike. I also upped my workouts to 5-6 days a week. And let me tell you--the stomach melted off. I used to have a 32 inch waist and 38 inch hips, and now I have a 28 inch waist and 39 inch hips. Now I'm an hour glass and have a much flatter stomach. The only change I made to my diet is eating more protein. Moral of the story?
Avatar f tn I've had the same problem my whole first trimester. I'm almost in my second as well so I hope to start working out again soon. In the meantime I go to the pool when I can and do some swimming and stuff.
Avatar n tn The workouts are not overly complicated. Hit the exercises that work the greatest number of muscles. Moves like squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press and rows. Add isolation exercises. Don't over-complicate your training with endless exercise changes. The fastest way to gain size is to become better at a few exercise and lift more weight. Lift Heavier Weights There is a place for higher reps in any program. But training heavy plays an important role in your ability to grow.
Avatar f tn Women can bulk up, though it takes more time. You might think about trying yoga...... it will tone the entire body.
