Do Pilates!!! It helped me a lot! I lost 15 pounds doing it during my last semester!!! 3nodding

Pilates are not bad. They do work well for a more total body work out, and most of the newer routines are moving away from the big bulky machines, thank God.

I dont like pushing a single exercise class or routine though, even my own classes. Its easier for people to workout if they can find something that they actually like to do; if you like basketball, going a rec league or schedule pick-up games with friends. If you like to walk, then pick out a place to walk and go with some friends, like a nice park or around a shopping district.

Yeah, the class I participated in didn't have the bulky machines at all. I liked the way it was done, and if I didn't have classes during those times, I would most definitely have done it again this semester.

I also like my Turbo Kick class that I do. It's a very cardio centered class, and I believe that I'm getting more and more used to it, because I no longer have the urge to pass the hell out when the class is over. 3nodding

I'll be trying to get the Butts and Guts course next semester if I can, because I really want to get core strength.

I am a certified group exercise instructor, and I am familiar with the formats of TKB and, to a lesser extent, Pilates.

The glutes and core muscles are better obtained through working the hips and cardio, respectively. Core work ought last no more than fifteen minutes of direct muscular exercises, as the main way to get the always coveted six pack is to lose fat, not strengthen the muscle tissues underneath. The glutes are much more easier to handle, and can be met with stuff like box jumps, kicks, and lunges.

My brother says to not worry about it.

You could have saved me the time and taken that attitude about four posts ago. surprised

Well, you're an idiot. There's little explaining anything will do for you.

I'm not the one hawking a benign poster on an internet forum. I thought your posts on conditioning were interesting.

Was it really just a sad attempt at insulting me, instead of adding to the conversation?

No, that's what he said. I only gave half the message. Basically he thinks that if you are going to explain something to someone you should do it in totality. He'd say it if he... knew English. We're talking on web messenger about you. He got a kick out of it though.

Cute. It's almost like we're friends.

I'm afraid none of us here could explain fitness as it pertains to every individual. That is impossible since everything can become more specific.

I suppose I should do my best to get my health instructor fired for handing out the flier with "general fitness guidelines". wink

That would explain a lot. I was wondering where you got all the specific information.

You might want to inform him that the flier isn't all inclusive. I did the same with my Gym teacher and he agreed and changed them. :p Of course that was three years ago, but still. I do agree that we can't speak on fitness in a respect to each individual, but conditioning is a little different I would think.

Even so, don't be mad.

The flier wasn't meant to be all inclusive, thus the term "general" in its title. Your expectations are a bit severe, it would seem.

I was under the impression you were mad. Mad enough to call me an idiot. confused

I agree, conditioning is important to understand as a preface to exercise.

I'm happy we came to an agreement, or something like that, but I have to go. Sorry.

@Everyone Else: Having a monkey slap your hand from whatever you try to eat works too.

We're not allowed to keep pets where we live right now. sad

A brother then? XD

Or you could put a lock on the fridge and make it a really complex number and make it force you to scan several things to the point that you no longer want food.

A combination is a great plan. You might need more than one lock though, never underestimate the determination of a fatass. Too bad there aren't many here, we could actually help them...

A better locking mechanism would be one that you would keep tied into your vitals all day, and only when you've had a steady two hours of burning more calories than you consume will it allow you into the fridge.

Yeah but I don't think those exist. Maybe we can invent them? It would be great, we'd make so much money! We'd be the richest chicks in America at least...

People are usually overweight because they eat the wrong foods and they're just simply too lazy to get up and excercise.

Because, you know, fat people are all lazy slobs. There are no conditions, genetic, or environmental factors there. stare

@ Kobanya: What great advice, thanks for helping.

Are you promoting unheathy eating habits? Bulimia seriously is not the way to go. If people want to lose weight they should exercise more and eat six little meals throughout the course of the day.
