    Should I see significant improvements after 5 months of training?

    @swindon Indeed. I was suggesting that perhaps doing exercises that target these muscle groups could help with toning them up as part of an overreaching strategy.

    Today's (Partial) Biometric Reading

    @bfg33 Thank you kindly! I have more (not a lot) of work to do, but I was pretty excited by the numbers. It's probably the best I've had in my entire life.

    Today's (Partial) Biometric Reading

    I understand that biometrics aren't 100% accurate, but they provide some basic information that I find helpful. Anyway, here are partial readings from my weigh-in this morning: BMI: 21.2 Body Fat: 24.2% Subcutaneous Fat: 22.5% Visceral Fat: 4 This is probably the best reading ever for me...

    How to get stronger as we age

    @dawn16 Thanks for your feedback. I am looking to tweak my body composition in 2024 and will probably add some weights into the mix at some point. I am a wee (but powerful) woman so I am not really looking to get ripped. I'd rather get toned and defined.

    Should I see significant improvements after 5 months of training?

    @swindon Fifteen pounds down is quite an accomplishment! As for the love handles, perhaps you can implement exercises that make you work in this area specifically. For example, planks, twists, or crunches. They would only require a few minutes extra to do.

    Yoga, Pilates for over 60 and recovering from cancer treatment

    @shaon Hi there! First, a big hug! Cancer is no easy road, and I am glad you are on the road to recovery. Have you looked into rebounding/mini-trampoline? A family member recently "gifted" me with one she wasn't using. After researching it, I learned that it offers a ton of benefits. Some...

    Body fat too high?

    @nedlm10 Hey thanks for the kind wishes, I am rooting for you. And sorry to hear that your work environment is the way it is. I hope you found some great summer tops to show your progress - which is a whole different topic. I am struggling to find my "fashion" sense. Like what is the best way...

    Body fat too high?

    @nedlm10 First, congrats on your weight loss so far. We have similar stats, although I am a hair shorter and a few years younger than you. Around 122ish is the tipping point for getting/staying under the 25% BF range. Ultimately, I'd like to get to about 18%, which is probably out of vanity and...
