Whew, long day!
Off to sweat with a with a lovely group of ladies (and one stellar gentleman) for a potential ‘Girls Night Fit’ gig (small group training, at home, girls-night out style).

I find that every time I start to diet I jinx myself...

Anonymous asked: Hi! Last week, I did a lot of intense cardio, which did mega damage on my lower back. Lifting weights is now a BITCH, so do you have any good strength training exercises that won't kill my back? Thanks!

cynrk asked: Why do I hear to so much about "if you do the same exercise over and over, you'll stop losing weight as fast."?? I love the elliptical, and I workout on it frequently (my fam has history of bad joints, so it's the best gym option). I have an average HR of 160 when I do, and for my age that's a little above the "standard". Do they mean the afterburn is not as...

Anonymous asked: Hey! I was wondering if you could maybe do a post about working out when your injured, if you haven't already? I'm a runner and a yogi with a swollen knee : / so I haven't been and won't be able to do those things for a few weeks. Does my exercise life equal strength training and core now that I am no longer bipedal?
