I’m almost sitting at 200 lbs, I need to exercise to get this weight off as it is aggravating my arthritis in my back, I wanted to know what you thought ….
1. should I check with a doctor First before starting any type of exercise ( even if it’s exercise around the house …. like : walking, biking, using weights, video exercise tapes ) ??
2. What type of exercises should I be doing ?? I don’t have the access to a gym, I would have to do these at home.
3. What am I looking for as with losing pounds ( how many pounds should I be losing a week )
4. do you think it is possible for a large woman to get fit and in time will actually look like she’s lost a lot of weight ???
Right now, I do only a little of exercising ( besides walking ) due to I get tired REAL fast. My arms and legs begin to tingle, I get headaches easier, heart rate is above normal.
I did not Realize Just how Big I was until i looked in a mirror. Do you think the mirror adds pounds to your look ?

That’s the claim he made today. Can any doctors weigh in on this? (Get it – “weigh in” on this?)

Do you shrink or your health gets damaged by exercising. LIke if you do push-ups, sit ups, and running around, does that shrink your growth. I am 15 years, so I am still growing and developing, and I do all these daily so is it harmful to my health.

here’s my take.
If you eat before, you’ll have calories in your blood sugar ready to work. You work off your meal basically. You also risk cramps if you workout too soon. Cramps can kill a workout.
If you eat after, you’ll use more stored calories (body fat), and the proteins you eat after have much better chance of being absorbed by your sore muscles. The downside being that you need to push yourself harder because you don’t have that “ready energy” already in your blood stream.
Personally – I eat a little before. You need SOME energy at the ready. You cant do it all with body fat. I like a low-fat yogurt and a banana. That’s plenty carbs and protein for me pre-workout, and it doesn’t cause cramping. After, I drink whey protein drinks as they metabolize the nutrients almost immediately where food takes a few hours.

Please be honest. Thank you.
