For those of you who are new to the blog, the Unleash The Beast workouts are some of my most popular, and BRUTAL...
Anonymous asked: It's such a relief just eating the food. I've had so many "eating rules" in the past. It was terrible. I had no energy, would be light-headed, would start seeing weird spots but still wouldn't "give in" until so many hours had passed or I had worked out. It's so sad how we can develop a feeling of accomplishment by restricting our bodies from te norishment...

Anonymous asked: Hi Chichi! Love your blog:) I just had a breast reduction 3 weeks ago, and really want to exercise again, but I can't do anything that makes the injured ladies jiggle. What would you suggest?
catofthecanals939 asked: Hi! I really like running and am interested in yoga, but I don't get the same amount of satisfaction from lifting. Do you think running and yoga are enough for overall fitness, including keeping muscles strong and healthy?

Want Body Peace? It Starts From The Neck Up....
Changing your body vs. changing how you feel about your body.
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
They can happen separately or simultaneously, but working on the ‘feelings’ bit is the only way to truly feel at peace in the body you have. There are tons of women who get to their goal weights, fit into the jean size they’ve decided is ‘good’ or hit other aesthetic related...

sisterabe asked: The world needs way more of you and way less of the people who say "such and such is a gym for fat and lazy people." I feel encouraged every time I read your posts. You're the kind of person who can motivate even the laziest most depressed person because you show love! Thank you. For that.

staceyokay asked: Hi Chichi! First of all, you are one of my fav fitblrs to follow because your insight is both helpful and so much fun to read! I have a question about my dreaded addiction to coffee.. I tend to have just one 12 oz coffee a day, black except for a little half&half and a packet of raw sugar. I wish I could not drink it, but at this point I feel sluggish and get headaches if I don't.. I eat...
awfulbelieverskepticaldreamer asked: Advocare? Is it a scam? Is it healthy? It's trending among my friends, but I am hesitant to join the bandwagon.

girlwiththegreenbackpack asked: Hello, I've been working out three times a week for the past four months and I haven't seen many changes in my body. I can feel that my body is becoming stronger but I cannot see the changes in my body since I want my muscles to be more defined. Any tips?
lamoindreidee asked: Hi there! My boyfriend and I decided to have a little bit of a competition. We're going to race to see who can get a six-pack first. I know it's not possible to target one specific area by itself, but do you have any exercises or routines I could do that would target my core and help me win this? The winner gets a massage whenever they want for a full month, and frankly I just want to...
Anonymous asked: where did you go? Are you going to be answering questions soon?
cynapse asked: I wanted your opinion on something. How do you feel about eating past fullness even when it's healthy foods? I'm stuffed right now, but it's because I ate a plate full of veggies. Do you think I'm still doing my body a disservice by overeating?
paddlebunny asked: For the anon asking about undies with Nike shorts, Victoria's Secret sells yoga thongs that don't show under workout clothes.
Anonymous asked: Hello! I was wondering if you had any tips for running in the desert? I'm about to move to Phoenix, Arizona and am worried about shriveling up mid-run like a sponge in the Sahara. I know the heat can really play with my energy levels... any advice you may have is a great help! Thanks!
Anonymous asked: Is it better to workout with a empty stomach?
essebi asked: Hello Chichi, I have no words to tell how inspiring you are to me! Thank you! Now my question: I'm trying to learn to do pushups, and I've come across your tutorial (Working Your Way to Perfect Pushups). You say they are listed from easiest to hardest, but aren't Incline pushups (#4 in your list) easier than modified/basic (#2/3)? Thank you
Anonymous asked: Why is society infatuated with emaciated women? Every time I see them on the countless pages of the internet, channels of TV and pages of magazines, I can't help but wonder... what's wrong with MY legs? Why don't MY arms look like that? I may be fit and healthy, but there seems to be a deep seeded discontent I can't shake.
hibaissa asked: Do vegetarians really need more protein than meat eaters? I've heard arguments both ways. What is your opinion?
Anonymous asked: im finally at a stage that im comfortable in wearing those stretchy nike running shorts and finally purchase one yesterday, but im not sure if im supposed to be wearing underwear with it coz i figure it would be kinda visible since it's stretchy material. do you know if they're made to wear it on their own? thanks :]

fullnelsonclan asked: I am starting a new lifestyle change program this Monday and I will be doing a vlog about it! I am so excited and I just wanted you to know that you, Chachi, and Meg (over at eatright-exercise) are my biggest inspirations and motivations right now! Thanks!
Anonymous asked: Chichi! I absolutely love your blog and your attitude for not only fitness, but life! That's why I hope you don't mind me asking a non-fitness question... but it still relates to heath! How do you deal with people when they're bringing mean/rude to you without scooping to their level, and still keeping really positive? Thanks :)

Squats Are AWESOME... But Body Shaming And...
This image didn’t always piss me off. And others like it didn’t always piss me off. I was used to seeing them, hearing the rhetoric, and was deeply subscribed to the belief that it was normal & appropriate to motivate women this way.
In an industry where it’s often hard to get women to hop on the resistance train, encouraging them with reminders that it’ll turn them...

But after following you it has helped me change my view on things. Instead i am no longer focuses on the inches and instead focusing on my fitness and health. I am officially training for a Spartan Race!...
