Ive been watching shows like bulging brides and the last ten pounds and the biggest loser and i cant understand how they lose that much weight and inches in1-2 weeks. Like at the weigh in when they measure and stuff it shows that they lost like inches off the waist and like 8 pounds.I understand that they have ALOT of equipment and trainers to help teach them and make them lose weight, But for someone like me who doesn’t have that what can i do?. my main struggle is my love handles that for some reason NEVER go away. I’m not even fat its just all the food i eat goes there and my stomachs flat and u can see some of my abs. At home i have a treadmill that i run on for about 30 minutes everyday at high incline and high speed and i sweat alot and my heart rate gets very high but for some reason i cant lose the love handles. Can anybody give me exercises that i can do at home to help them go away. I don’t have weights or anything but i do have like a jump rope treadmill and thats basically it.
Dont tell me NOTHING about diets and stuff cause i dont eat anything not healthy and i think i made it clear when i sed my stomachs flat an i have abs.
Please help me i feel like i have no shape because my love handles make my body look retarded.
Again i said things i can do at HOME.

Health Promotion and Wellness Programs: Top Health Risks
By John Bates
Obesity, tobacco use and stress are the most common hazards to health in the American workforce. In addition to the direct harm they cause to individual wellness, they also provoke many indirect issues related to health care.
Weight loss and tobacco cessation are similar in that they both require behavioral modification and a comprehensive maintenance plan to curb the chances of a relapse. Staff qualifications should indicate training and experience adequate to deal with this type of psychology.
Furthermore, weight loss and tobacco cessation programs have varying success rates across different demographics and within small groups; therefore, health promotion and wellness programs have to be tailored to fit individual needs.
Before a diet and exercise plan can be implemented, a Health Risk Assessment is necessary to seek out pre-conditions for heart disease or stroke which could be compromised by the health promotion and wellness program.
Exercise programs and nutrition education should be scientifically-based, drug-free and physician approved. Weight loss has to be the result of a balance between caloric intake, healthy meals and exercise.
For resources and guidelines pertaining to obesity, nutrition, exercise and diet plans, consult: National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute
Physical Activity Programming
Encouraging people to exercise involves more than merely offering physical activity opportunities. Motivating employees includes acknowledging their present sedentary lifestyle and persuading them to make realistic and alternative lifestyle choices. The exercise program should be selected by the employee and offered during a time that is convenient for them in order to achieve a consistent participation rate.
Education will be necessary to teach employees the relationship between activity, diet and health and to demonstrate how this can be changed to encourage physical wellness. Health promotion and wellness program supervision will be necessary to ensure that injury does not develop and exercise programs are introduced safely.
Appropriate education in physiology, sports medicine or an equivalent and have a current CPR/First Aid certification should verify that health promotion and wellness programs are operated safely. The Health Risk Assessment should be checked to ensure the participant has agreed to a referral, elected exercise options and verified that there are no contravening health issues that preclude an exercise program.
Staff should monitor heart rate and blood pressure to protect health promotion and wellness program goals during all intervention procedures. Safe exercise guidelines are offered by the American College Of Sports Medicine. Free Fitness Handouts and Fitness Posters can also be found at Wellness Proposals
Tobacco Abuse
Smoking cessation is one of the most difficult health risk issues to tackle because nicotine is considered to be one of the most addictive substances. In order to succeed, participants must want to quit. Preparation to quit, support with choosing a method to quit and visible proof of results need to be demonstrated. Counseling should be available for the participant at any time.
Not all cessation programs work the same way with everyone. A qualified counselor should recognize individual differences and be able to match cessation programs with individual preferences. Diet plans, exercise programs, and activities that preclude smoking need to be presented as part of the cessation program. Relapses are common; therefore, a maintenance plan is mandatory. Nicotine substitution patches, sprays, gums or other medicinal options should be included in the counseling session to support cessation efforts.
Guidelines and resources for cessation programs are plentiful. Some of the best offerings are presented at the Surgeon General’s website, The American Heart Association, The American Cancer Society, The American Lung Association, or Smoke Enders.
For the purpose of tracking tobacco cessation success rate, the participants who began the program need to be the same ones who finished it. Maintenance parts of cessation should be recorded for a minimum of one year.
Healthy Choices, Healthy Diet
The Health Risk Assessment tests where nutritional education would benefit. With almost a seventy percent rate of obesity, the American workforce is in dire need of healthy food choice counseling. Health promotion and wellness programs promote better food choices by teaching participants how to identify low carbohydrate, lower calorie, high protein, and high fiber foods.
Explaining the relationship between obesity and the escalating incidence of heart disease, Type II Diabetes and health care costs should help motivate participants

Is this a good deal?
Both are very good condition used for only one year. Comes with the heart rate monitor.
Thanks for all of the advice!
I don’t know what to do. I am not eating more nor am I doing less than usual. I am eating less and gaining weight at an alarming rate. I am not pregnant. I am not unhappy with my weight at the moment, yet. I don’t feel that I need to be super thin. I am just concerned for my future because I am expanding as you read this! over the last two years, I have gained a bizarre amount. I am hungry and tied of watching people eat. In the past, if I wanted to lose weight I could with cutting back on food and adding a bit of exercises. Now, I just gain a bit more slowly if I do that. I’m not mad. I’ve spent weekends with friends and family, all of whom are shocked by how little I eat. None of my clothing fits anymore. When this started, I was 125lbs, but, at this rate, I’ll be 350lbs in 5 years. I’m a youngish woman and mother and not really in an age group usually associated with a massive metabolic shift. I have enough energy and I feel healthy usually aside from fluid retention (edema) in my feet ankles and abdomen. For anyone medical. My T3 and T4 levels are just fine. The only thing that doesn’t seem fine is the edema, raised blood pressure, lowered heart rate, a bit of (very rare) dizziness and my ecg shows P mitral. This tells me that I may have a heartproblemb. I know that weight can cause heartproblemss, but,can heart problems incur fat? My doctor told me that my BP was borderline and didn’t treat it. He observed that the edema in my ankles was +2 and said that it was odd ,but, that was it. His office lost my ecg results. He told me I need to eat less when I asked what to do. So I ate 1 grapefruit and 1 cup of tea for breakfast, a tuna sandwich with light mayo for lunch and a green salad with balsamic vinegar and a diet soda for dinner every day for nearly three weeks. I did not loose a pound. I’m trying really hard, but, I’m looking lazy. I don’t want to see a new doctor because I figure that another doctor will just think I’m deluding myself and that I’m actually eating more than I think. I wonder if there is anything I can do. I thank anyone who has read this for their time. No silly comments please. Thanks
I just bought the Polar FT1 HR monitor and was a little discouraged when I couldn’t view my current heart rate. Instead I have to wait for the beap to know when I’ve reached my target HR zone. Before I return it and get a new one, I was curious as to if this is a standard feature with most HR monitors, and if I’m going to have any luck finding a replacement that had potentially both a display of the current heart rate, and notifies me when I reach my target HR.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

He’s finally here. Gavin Christopher was born December 15th at 4:19PM by cesarean section. He was 7lbs 10.2oz and 18.5 inches long and is doing great. I know I’m partial, but he’s such a beautiful baby and pretty mild natured so far.
I went into the labor and delivery Sunday night at 8PM due to a 102.1 fever. After evaluating me and ruling out flu, I walked around for a while. After my doctor checked me, I was dilated to 2cm and 70% effaced, so she admitted me for early labor. The last thing I had to eat was a lousy hot dog I had on our way to the hospital and thank God I took a shower before we left. They started me on IV fluids because I was dehydrated (and later found out I had a UTI and kidney infection, but no symptoms of either) My labor was VERY slow and another docter came in at 8:00AM Monday to check on me that day. Throughout that day I slowly dilated more after they gave me pitocin (the b**ch from hell). At a couple different points, usually while I was waiting for the anesthesiologist, the pitocin had my contractions coming one after another with no breaks.
Finally at 5PM Monday I had dilated to 5cm and was still about 70% effaced. I was still running a low grade fever that they kept down with Tylenol and IV antibiotics. The doctor thought it was time to break my membranes to see if the amniotic fluid was clear or green (as he anticipated). It was a little green, but not thick, so he wasn’t concerned about meconium aspiration. I labored the rest of that night and into Tuesday. My doctor was back on duty so it was a releif to see her. At 1PM, she let me push, as I was finally 10cm and 100% effaced with Gavin at +2 station. My contractions were still mostly coming only due to the pitocin. After pushing for about 10 minutes, he still wasn’t coming down much, so she let me wait a while long, increasing my pitocin and giving me one last chance to try to push him out.
At 3:30PM, she came back and I was starting to have the bearing down sensation. So we pushed for a few times, but his heart rate kept dropping dramatically. At that time, she ruled an emergency c-section would be best for both me and the baby. The section went well and my husband was so amazing through the whole thing. Watching his concern for us both and seeing his reaction to when we first heard Gavin cry makes me swell up in tears. I love him so much.
After they had him out they gave me more medication for pain and I was out until I was in the recovery room. We were in the hospital until Yesterday around 5PM at which time we were discharged. It feels so good to be home with out son, but so exhausting. I’ve got a lot of recoverying to do, but today I get my staples out, so that will at least be a step forward.
So for a question, how quickly did you recover after a cesarean section? How bad would you rate the pain at the incision the first few days/weeks?
Thank you all!

On December 12, 2010, at 11:43am local time in the Bahamas, New Zealander William Trubridge dove 100 meters into Dean’s Blue Hole on Long Island with a single breath of air and only his hands and feet to propel him down and up.
My friend, not a cyclist, wants to train for a race (MS150). She asked me for advice on which bike to buy because she wasnt sure how "into" biking she would be after the race. I’ve offered to loan/rent her my bike, bike rack, cycling shoes, cycling jerseys, heart rate monitor, and helmet for the year (I’m pregnant and WILL NOT be wanting to ride).
What do you think is an appropriate amount of money to ask?
Here’s a pic of my totally sweet and beautiful amateur bike.

Put your finger on your iphone camera, and we extract your heart signal ! How it can be useful ? To evaluate and monitor your physical fitness. (App Link : itunes.apple.com Whether you’re a marathon runner or a couch potato (sedentary), you probably have some idea of how fit you are. But having more than a general sense of your fitness level can help you set fitness goals, monitor how you’re doing and maintain your motivation. This application offers an easy way to measure your heart fitness—one of the most important indicators of your overall physical health. Heart fitness is a prime bulwark against myriad medical problems, including but not limited to the No. 1 killer in the United States, heart disease; more than 70 million Americans suffer from some form of it. This test really couldn’t be easier: all you need is to cover iPhone camera with your fingertip and proceed to 30s physiological measurement. During measurement the instantaneous heart rate is monitored in beats per minute (BPM) and the physiological plethysmographic signal is also displayed. Make sure that finger detection gauge is green and full before and while you are making measurement, and that you are in sitting position for 5 min at least. A low heart rate at rest suggests that your body is physically fit—a key element of a healthy body—so the lower the figure, the greater your cardio fitness. (Source: American heart association). Once you have the number of beats per minute, it’s easy to gauge your …
Ok, I have just started Beachbody’s Insanity. I am on day 4. I don’t have a heart rate monitor nor do I want to buy one.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a site or knows from personal experience, how many calories it is likely I burn during each workout. They are different, so I am looking for an estimate for EACH one.
I am female, 180 lb, 6ft tall. my highest hr during the workout was above 180.
Thanks!
I need something with an alarm so when I get out of zone, I’ll pick myself up without looking at my watch: something quality and fairly priced. I just finished a half-marathon and I have a goal of finishing in a shorter time. Your suggestions are appreciated!
Watching your food portions but still eating what you love. In my case whatever my mom cooks. And quiting the diet soda and drinking only water? Exercising a little. Maybe 4 days a week playing ddr on standard for an hour. It gets my heart rate up.
Will that help me lose weight slowly?
thanks
I kept it between 130-160 bpm for nearly the whole time, but during a sprint towards the end it hit 188 albeit very briefly
I’m a thrity year old male; is it wise working so close to my theoretical maximum heart rate? I’m fairly fit

So for my questions:
How quickly did you recover after a cesarean section?
How bad would you rate the pain at the incision the first few days/weeks? I feel like sometimes I can barely move, and other times it’s not too bad.
Did you have stitches or staples? I had staples, but they were removed yesterday. Now I’m paranoid the incision will open.

I’m in my 20‘s, reasonably fit (I exercise 5-6 days/week with a mixture of cardio, weights and yoga), have never smoked, have no known health issues, and have been keeping an active and healthy lifestyle for years.
Recently I bought a heart rate monitor and have been using it during my workouts, and I’ve noticed something which worries me. Whenever I do plank work for my abs or do pushups, my heart rate will be plodding along at 90bpm to110bpm, and then all of a sudden skyrocket into the 200’s, so I stop the exercise, and my HR goes back down to where it was within one to two seconds. When this happens, I don’t feel any different, and my breathing remains steady. But this happens very reliably when I do this type of exercise, and no other time. Normally, I would just think there is something wrong with the monitor, but my mom was diagnosed with a serious heart condition when she was in her 30‘s.
Basically I’m wondering if I’m getting worried over nothing, or if this might be something that I should seriously look into. Has anyone else had this kind of experience, or know what might be going on?

i need to find a good heart rate monitor watch that will actually do what it’s supposed to. I’ve been reading some reviews on different brands and models, and they all seemed to either break fast or not work correctly. So if anyone has some good experience or advie – i’d love to hear it.
oh, and it’s for a man’s or unisex watch ![]()
I’m 25, 6’2" 245 in weight. Most people don’t consider me overweight. 7 years ago, I was 6’2" 230…7% body fat (3 sport athelete).
4 years ago, I was 6’2" 175…5% body fat… always running/cardio etc
The stressed out guy that I am hasn’t put a string of 2 weeks of working out together in over 3 years. My eating habits have been awful, but I’m trying to change.
I’m nervous about what is safe and what isn’t with my heart rate monitor. My resting heart rate is in the high 80s low 90s in my unhealthy state. I bought a heart rate monitor, played a pick up game of basketball… the heart rate monitor started beeping as I exceeded 200 beats per minute…and within my 4-5th minute playing basketball it reached 225, and I couldn’t compete anymore and dropped out.
Is it unsafe to reach those levels, or is that a great workout?
I’m normally winded walking up a flight of stairs… but I want to be able to get in shape. I know I should start slow…but I love playing bball. is 200+ safe?
And how can this be applied to a Trig graph.
Ok so right now im 5"10 in height, weight 180lbs, and 21 years old.
My bodyfat percentage is a little under 12% and im trying to get it too 6-8%.
RIght now here is my weight training/cardio schedule… I jog 6 days a week at a low/moderate pace for 6 miles every day. A personal trainer told me id be burning about 60% fat, 1% protein, and 39% sugar at the pace im going at according to heart rate monitors, that sound like the correct zone?
I also weight train 5-6 times a week doing biceps/back, triceps, and chest/shoulders on different days (also abs/legs twice a week).
My questions are, should i always eat when im hungry? I recently just lost about >10% bodyfat (in the past 6 months) and gained mostly muscle (i lost only like 8 lbs lol) and im trying to become a fitness model now! My abs are finally showing (in the right light) and im really happy (never accomplished this before).
Ive been doing cardio all this time with muscle building but it seems the results are REALLY slow and im doing this 100% naturally, so no creatine/andro invovled, just high protein basically.
I just want to know if this routine will work to burn 4% bodyfat, and cause me to gain about 5-10 lbs of muscle. Its just been so slow the past month now and im not really losing much noticeable bodyfat anymore (ya just when my abs start showing). Any advice on what to do differently?
Any helps appreciated and i know this was a long post so thanks in advance!
thanks charlie, however methamphetamine burns muscle tissue away as well…
yep specifically burns muscle tissue, so i cant use it unfortunately ![]()
