Happy New Years ladies!!I have declared 2008 a new beginning! My gym is closed today so I have to walk/run outside. I see the importance of having a back up...
Hi I'm new. My name's Sarah, but you can call me Megily, since I think there's another Sarah in this group. I promise that I'm not one of thousands of New...
Yesterday was my first day of challenge 2. It went really well - I hit the gym at 6am, did my upper body lifting, then did the eliptical machine for 30...
Hi Ladies, I'm starting over on the Challenge today - I finished a couple weeks & then fell off track when I got sick. I'm sooo happy to have found this...
There's a lot you can do at home with little or no equipment. Right now I do my intervals with a step bench, a jump rope, calisthenics, kettlebell swings,...
Hi ladies! As a former avid BFL-er, I know this works! I fell off the BFL wagon 2.5 yrs ago when my Mom passed & just never got back on. I haven't gained a...
You'll get great and lasting results by following the book and not counting calories. The idea is to make it a lifestyle change, something where you don't have...
Welcome to the group. There are new people joining every day, and plenty who have been around forever. I joined this group 8 years ago and there were BFL ...
Since there are lots of new people starting challenges this week, here's a re-post about "hitting a 10" and finding the right intensity on cardio and weights. ...
Figuring out how much to lift is mostly a matter of trial and error. You just have to do it and see what works for you. Everyone is so different that it...
Thanks, I was afraid of that. : ) The problem with trial and error for me is that I feel like I'm "wasting" a workout if it doesn't go well or I'm not...
I was doing 45-60 minutes of cardio before I recently started the BFL program again. Should I keep with that amount or do the 20 minutes of cardio that is...
If you're really and truly and honestly hitting a "10" and getting to that "I think I'm going to die soon" intensity, then yes, 20 minutes is enough. If...
If you do the 20 minutes of cardio right, you should be red and gasping, drenched in sweat, near puking, and staggering around coughing up pieces of your...
Thank you SO much for the description of the 20 minute HIIT cardio. I was never sure if I was hitting a real 8, 9 or 10. Now, with your description, I have...

Renee, You are so expressive! You just summed up for me why I HATE cardio so much! Yesterday while I was doing cardio, I kept telling myself that I am...
I probably ought to add to my description of HIIT that this type of high-intensity exercise assumes that you're perfectly healthy. If you have a medical...

Thanks! This info is exactly what I needed. I was jumproping before, but killing myself. I was doing it for about 20 minutes straight. Ugh!! I like these...
Speaking of heart rate monitors. I have used one for years and my heartbeat has always been really high while working out. Anyway, I am 34, and while I am...
Does anyone know why BFL groups are no longer listed in the community section on the bodyforlife.com website? Have they been temporarily permanently removed,...
I actually did talk to a cardiologist about that. I've done the thing where they hook you up to electrodes, put you on a treadmill, and run your heart up as...
If you have concerns about your heart rate, you should consult your physician. Once again, I don't know what's recommended for your age but 190 seems high to...
Ok, now I'm really pumped. I was in the gym this morning and two guys saw my BFL journal and they became excited! They said it was the best book on the market...
Hi Lana! I yoyo'd for years ended up at 210 pounds at the age of 37 and I'm only 5'2" tall. I had gotten the book about 4 years earlier decided eating that...
Hi, My hubby got me the BfL for Women book for Christmas. He should be throttled ;) (in his defense, he also got himself the original BfL). For more than 20...
Wow, you are in some dire, DIRE need of protein. Out of all the meals you had, the one with turkey was the only one not carb-heavy and woefully underpowered....
So Joni, did that only work if you ate low-fat, what about no-fat dairy? Thanks! ... Leg exercises are not just squats and lunges, but here's a few site for...
