I wish more women understood that squats get results, not sitting in a chair.

Wow, 135 lbs! That’s great and something I won’t be able to do, probably ever. After two pregnancies and a c-section, my body is very weak and my abs are bent out of shape. They can’t even support my lower back. I went to confession last month, I had a hard time kneeling by the preist and had difficulties standing back up when I was finished. I know it’s safe for me to start working out again since it’s been four months, but I don’t know where to start or what to do. I can’t go to the gym because of the kids, there’s no carpet in our apartment and workout mats and free weights aren’t the easiest items to find in India.

I defiantly agree with you blog. I find myself using all the excuses that you mentioned. However there are those days that I feel I can go into the free weight section and I DO and I feel like my workout was worth me going in there. You have motivate me to go in the free weight section more often. Thanks.

Hi… I started doing squats and deadlifts last night at the gym, under the watchful eye of my other half. Both of us agree with the sentiment that removing the full range of movement and isolating a muscle is too far removed from training your body to actually function well in life generally. We both climb, and my core is my big weakness, more than upper body strength - it’s only from really pushing myself on the rock that I’ve realised that the two combined are more useful than either alone. Add to that the fantastic night’s sleep I had last night and the equally good mood I’m in right now - I don’t think there’s any excuse for women not to do these kind of strengthening exercises. I should add that I climb at a very low grade, and to look at, I’m like any other girl on the street. I haven’t started with a physical advantage… I was always the kid dragging her feet to the sports hall at school! I look at the back problems my mum has and the difference that climbing, which also uses the whole body, has made so far for me, and wish more people were aware of the massive benefits of strengthening themselves in this way.

I just discovered your blog. Very refreshing read and I love the photo I’ve been into weight loss a while now too.

Comment on My “Magic” Secret to Fat Loss by Aliki

I no longer fit in my jeans so I’m starting to consider ending my 5 year hiatus from working out. Knowing me, I plunged right in and did not take things slowly. SO — I did HIIT on the bike last night at home, for the first time ever in my life. I only made it through 3 cycles before almost passing out. The result: I felt nauseous for the next 45 minutes, I could not make it down the stairs and I ate more than I usually eat for dinner and then felt fully digested and was hungry for more about 1.5 hrs later. That means only one thing: IT WORKS!!!!! The fact I also woke up this morning and was FAMISHED can mean that my metabolism kept going over night. This rocks (though I am having serious trouble walking today).

Or another suggestion- request an angel food cake. A slice is under 100 calories and you can load it up with good for you berries!
