@willyc I go by the hard days hard/easy days easy rule, so on speed days, I go hard on the lower body strength after my run. On easy/recovery days, I focus on upper body and core for strength and just run really easy paces for my runs. Keep in mind that I'm not super into lifting and it's just...

@acco340 40+ miles of running per week - that usually translates to about 6-8 miles 5x a week and a long run of about 10 miles on Saturday. Usually 1 or 2 speed workouts per week, the rest easy miles. On top of that, I do 2 days of upper body strength and 2 days of lower body/plyo work, and then...

@pitcreature It's very similar to Epic (there's only HIIT like once a week) - the breaks seem to be shorter, and I think there are more back to back complexes. Honestly, it's hard for me to compare because I do the vids and then block them out of my memory because they hurt so bad lol.

@lovelord316 The mods open it up at the end of every month, I believe. It's usually a post about an accountability challenge, so look out for that! And yes, I've been following CG's schedule, but I also incorporate workouts on the rest days she has on the calendar. So for example, she had a...

@mdb23 Oh my gosh, 6 kids! You must be SO busy! Your body is amazing for growing and nourishing all of those babies. In June, I was in the high 120 (127-129). In December, I was around 119. I do have some loose skin on my midsection, which you can see in harsher lighting, and I will always...

@carlos517 I usually do CG/strength early in the morning, and then I run in the late afternoon/early evenings after work. I usually do 2 speedwork sessions per week, and take 1-2 rest days from running every week (Wed and/or Sun) to give my legs a break.

@truelight7 It totally kicks my butt too. Every day, I laugh out loud and swear because she's usually casually inserting pistol squats or one-arm pushups in some workout.

@2getherin1 I also try to remember that the slower the weight comes off, the more likely it is to STAY off. Remember to take measurements too, since the scale can be an asshole sometimes, and doesn't always accurately reflect your progress!

@pandafan Ahhhhh I can't WAIT until my kids are older like yours and I have ALL the time for activities (hikes! long runs! bouldering!). Good luck with your personal trainer - you got this, and your kids will be like WHOA what happened to mom????

(Underwear/sports bra pics. Also cross-posted on xxfitness) January/February 2020 June 2020 December 2020 May 2021 - One, two, three Background: I had my second baby in 2019, and while I dropped a bunch of weight immediately after birth, I slowly started gaining a lot of weight due to 1)...

@kmar123 You deal with it by shrugging and walking away.

@kjwg March of LAST YEAR??? Girl, take a break and eat some delicious (and calorie-dense) foods! "Starvation mode" is a myth, but there's been research around how our bodies' energy output adapts to low calorie diets and tries to conserve energy elsewhere if it's not getting enough. Have...

@teampancho Thank you! Now I will add it to my list and then procrastinate on ever doing it.

@godzillla No way - walking is how I've kept my sanity for the past year. It's great for general fitness (as is running), and also mental health to be moving. Put on a show, or crank some music, and you'll start feeling so much better. A few people here have mentioned bodyweight workouts...

@teampancho Oooh I have to check this out. I've been doing his ab workouts to supplement my routine, and they are great (even with the clickbaity titles).

@kjwg I'm not sure how long you've been at this, but honestly, I'd recommend a maintenance break. Your body does A LOT and 1300-1400 is not a lot of food. I put your stats into a TDEE calculator, and your TDEE is probably around 2000-2100. I'm sure your body is stressed out, trying to keep up...

@yommie Yep, I've been stuck around 56kg (124ish lbs) for weeeeeeeks, although it dips and goes up occasionally. I think I just need to go back to cutting, since it happened around the same time I tried to eat a bit more. Having one last hurrah of Panda Express and orange chicken before I do...

@jcisthelight We did this years ago - flew to Denver, rented a car, and drove west for 10 days. We’d stop at a National Park for a few days, have a hotel room, and then do some day hikes. We hit Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, and ended at the Grand Canyon. Our day hikes...

@nader1 It's 100% water retention from the recent uptick in exercise. It'll go down shortly, don't worry about it.
