Avatar n tn We could recommend specific exercises, but those two areas can be reached with probably over a thousand different ones, both with weights and without. But they do have to be done correctly to hit the right areas and so you don't injure yourself.
Avatar n tn Hello all, I have noticed recently, during my weightlifting routines at the gym, that I will occasionally get a fluttering sensation in my heart that lasts about 10 to 15 seconds and occurs randomly while lifting weights or doing abdominal exercises, but oddly enough never during cardio workouts such as running or swimming (chance?). These "flutters" are quite worrisome, as I feel as if my heart may not recover it's consistent beat sometimes.
Avatar f tn If using weights what I was told when I used a personal trainer that if you are upping 15-20 reps without straining they are too light. Make sure to do three reps as well. They are also many exercises you can do without even touching weights or resistance bands! Good luck, you got this! You can always pm me to talk more.
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 t do abs(crunches,etc), lift over 15 lbs or overhead arm workouts all per dr. I believe all have to do with that abdomen problem you can get later on, but keeping at least a light workout and core apparently helps for pushing, which makes sense. I am so glad i kept up with it and i think it helped me to not get sick once and stay energized. Since you stopped, just ease back into it. And don't get too hot. I bring a mini fan or a cooling wet towel so i dont overheat.
Avatar f tn I've heard its ok to still workout but what can I do exactly?
Avatar n tn Starting from arm workouts (using 5lb weights and resistance bands) then followed by workouts that can be done at home later. (Squats, dips, etcetera ). I was not every active pre pregnancy but I would like to keep my body tight. Will this do any harm to my unborn? Thanks.

Avatar f tn I do cardio kickboxung twice a week followed by body sculpting that involves light weights (8-10lb weights) that's on tuesday and Thursdays. Wednesdays I usually take my dogs for long walks. I'm a hair dresser so the other days I'm working and am too exhausted and sore to do anything else as of right now. Keep exercising it's good for both of you.
Avatar f tn 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. A general workout is 150 minutes of medium-paced cardio exercise and two strength-training sessions per week.
Avatar f tn Try walking a lot, swimming, even house cleaning works, yoga is an absolute must do. Little exercises you can do at home like squats, or arm/leg workouts. At the end, as long as you keep yourself active everything should be fine! Good luck Hun!

1855780 tn?1319722878 A pound is a pound, whether it's muscle or fat. Muscle is denser than fat, so a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. Think of muscle and fat in comparison to a rock and feathers. The rock is very dense (tightly packed), so a relatively small rock can weigh a pound, yet look at the volume of feathers you need to make a pound. Either way, it's a pound. Jazmine, you might need to switch up your exercise; or maybe you aren't eating the right things/amounts.
7998970 tn?1435183202 Walking, exercise ball, little weights, etc are okay, especially if you were pretty active before pregnancy. No hardcore workouts though. time to gain weight lol.
Avatar f tn I am 6 weeks pregnant. I would like to go for my usual gym workouts. What exercises are safe for my sweet little unborn child?
Avatar f tn Dr. Vinod - I had a repair of 3 hernia up and to the right of my belly button. Two are incisional hernias (I had an open surgery last year to remove about a foot of necrotic colon), one is apparently a spot where muscle never properly closed up. I have two meshes - one over the open muscle area and a larger mesh basically across my whole abdomen. I have been advised of no exercise at all for 3 months. I would like to get back to doing yoga eventually.
Avatar n tn Just listen to your body and dont over do it.
Avatar m tn Using these HGH injections, muscles can get very large without extreme workouts. They are known to carcinogenic but many people take the risk for the big payout now. Good lcuk and stay clean.
Avatar n tn Repeat each exercise for 45 seconds or do 20 to 30 repetitions. Pick the weights for each exercise accordingly; you do not want weights that are too heavy or too light. Some exercises involve two moves at the same time, such as lunges and bicep curls. Do the following exercises: lunges and biceps curls, seated shoulder presses on the fitness ball, squat jumps, bench presses, abdominal crunches on the fitness ball, deadlifts, bent-over rows, tricep curls and burpees.

483733 tn?1326798446 I have a great dvd suggestion that I have a feeling you would really like! Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds dvds are really easy to get through, very low impact but also really effective! It's one of the first consistent workouts I did when I was still morbidly obese and it really helped to get me into a regular exercise routine when this was all new to me.
Avatar f tn So I'm doing stuff like dancing, HIIT workouts, weights, etc. just normal exercises but I also want to start jogging. What type or shoes should I get that I can use for every day exercise and jogging. Can I just do everything in running shoes? Also does anyone recommend a certain brand. Nothing to expensive. I don't want to pay like 200 dollars. Honestly the most I want to pay is 40 to 50. Might even go 60.
Avatar f tn Obese men should start with low- to moderate-intensity aerobic workouts to ease into a fitness program. Some beginner-friendly aerobic workouts include walking or cycling on a stationary bike. The American College of Sports Medicine advises adults do moderate intensity cardio 30 minutes a day, five days a week for good health. Men can do cardio workouts five times a week for 30-minute sessions, or break up the workout into shorter, more frequent sessions.
Avatar f tn Same here! I am 17+5 and am still lifting weights, spinning, and I started prenatal Pilates. I hope I can keep going, modified as necessary, right up until my little one is here!

Avatar f tn Use weights and interval/circuit training to boosts your bodies metabolic rate and reduce you carb intake to about 20-30% of your total daily calories. Focus more on proteins from lean meats and vegetables such as broccoli. It takes more energy for you body to break down the protein and it will not cause drastic insulin spikes and fat storage.
