LOL good for you.
Tips I got from the dialysis tech who is a personal trainer...
1. drink lots of water
2. lift weights at least three times a week
3. More weight, less reps. He said to just do ten reps.
4. Cardio for at least 30 minutes before weights.
So I'm gonna give this a try. I'm trying to tone up. He told me after I get toned, I can decrease the amount of weight I lift and do more reps. Workout buddies are great but I prefer to go it alone.
It is but it's such a great workout. I go to The Fighting Fit in Wyandotte. They will let you sit in on a class and watch to see if its something you'd be interested in doing.
Stalls are a normal part of the process. It usually means you need to change something in your diet or your workout. I found that I needed to increase my protein intake and change the intensity of my workouts which is why I take Krav Maga twice a week because getting on an elliptical or treadmill day after day was boring and it was only exercising the same muscles over and over. With Krav, I'm exercising muscles that I wouldn't normally be exercising while on a treadmill or elliptical.
I totally understand this. I've lost 86lbs in the last six months and the first thing anyone ever commented on was "Wow, you've lost weight, yeah I can tell because your boobs are getting smaller.."...Needless to say, I have a complex about it now.
