I don't check this board often. But want to post that I jogged during half of my daily mile walk today. I am excited and hope to do this more regularly as I want to increase my fitness and improve my health.

In an attempt to get back into at least going for a walk every morning, I started doing just that. Around 7ish in the morning, before I have to do anything like work or classes, I go for a 30 minute walk/light jog, and then will walk a local fitness trail near my house, which involves steps and inclines and various other obstacles. I currently don't have the funds for a gym membership so this was the best I could do for at least the time being.
The first day I did this, the pain was bearable, I expected my body to freak out when I randomly just started exercising again. But during day 2 & 3, It was/is terrible. Both of my legs feel like they are constantly cramping and its painful to walk around or be on my feet - which is part of my profession as a hair stylist. My upper body doesn't feel too bad, and my feet are a little sore, but i attribute that to not having better sneakers - but my legs are in agony.
Do I just keep going? Will I get past all the pain eventually? Or do I need to take it a bit slower, and only exercise maybe once or twice a week as opposed to every morning? What can I do? >__<
Thank You in Advance for any advice!

"The pain first began in my forearm and was fairly unbareably, however it seems the pain has sprung up to my shoulder joint around the rotator cuff."
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Her doctor told her it was bursitus, but I feel that he was only implying that in regards to her shoulder. I was wondering if it was related to her forearm, though and if you had any suggestions on exercises. I have some basic ideas, but have been avoiding any "arm over head" exercises. Would any of you also have suggestions in regards to how I can help with this?
Thank you!View Thread
previously I lost weight by probably not eating or excersing, if I start excersing and full body work out now will my skin stop saggying?View Thread
As a naturally athletic person, I KNOW what I should do so as not to do too much too fast, but I feel the C25K program is too easy. Does anyone have any thoughts or a training plan even with cross training (I did cross fit for a year and the competitor in me loved it but I was bulking up too quickly and took on the appearance of a linebacker ...which wasn't the direction I'd like to go. I'd like to look leaner not stockier!!)
Any advanced beginner/other training plans or ideas would be extremely helpful!!
Thank youView Thread
My cardio is not what I wish it was, so I would play with the rope for a minute or two several times throughout the day. That way I got in about 20 minutes with the rope rather than working out with it once for 5 minutes. To do this, you need to be able to have enough room to set it up and leave it out. It helps to have a dining room/living room with very little furniture.View Thread

So I started using the webmd food and fitness logs a couple of weeks ago, and I've noticed that however many calories I burn with exercise, I get that many more calories added to my daily intake allowance. Given how much I exercise, this generally puts me at a calorie allowance of around 2100 calories, which seems like an insanely large amount.
Could you offer some clarification. Is it true that the more you exercise in a day, the more calories you can consume and still lose weight? When consulting various sources, I get very mixed responses on this question.View Thread
I I was a gym rat and a vegetarian who did dairy and fish (forgot the term) for several years. For the past 2 1/2 years I stopped going to the gym and being really active. I acquired a huge fibroid in my uterus and had to have my uterus and ovaries removed in January. I attribute the growth of the fibroid from 2 years of stress on the job, having to move, losing my job, getting rehired, etc etc etc. I have recovered from my surgery and have been walking but the weight and inches are not coming off. I did a mountain hike a few weeks back and that didn't really have any effect either. So, I joined a gym and went back to the step plus abs class, yoga and gym machines( when I don't do the classes). I once was under a nutritionist who preached the eat for your blood type diet. She put me on high grade probiotic. I also was given info about leaky gut syndrome. Along with being a gym rat, eating right and taking the probiotics I went from a size 12 to 4. It took a lot of work but the results were worth it I've got this layer of belly fat that hangs under your belly button and looks like a front butt. Someone called this "apron". I've never had this before. I wonder if that is the result of the loose skin after the surgery? I have never been pregnant but I was told this also happens after you have given birth. Wish me luck with getting back to my pre hysterectomy shape! I also have been having really bad night sweats and Estroven is not helping. Any suggestions? Not doing H.R.T's. Thanks everyone.View Thread
