  Anne replied to the topic magnesium gel for sore muscles in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 4 days, 4 hours ago

  I’ve never heard of that. Googled it and it seems that it could help but only if you’re deficient. Also, I guess most people are deficient for at least part of the day, so maybe that’s it. Maybe it has a chance to work.

  Anne replied to the topic best workout for stress in the forum Health Forums 1 week, 4 days ago

  Thanks. I know I was pretty much hoping you’d say I do’nt need to do strength training, but you’re right.  I’ll try to fit it in twice per week.  I really appreciate the advice

  Ener-C is just one brand, you’re right.  I’ve seen other versions of this same kind of product.  I spotted one called Emergen-C yesterday at the drug store.  There are lots for kids, too but there are some for adults.  The main thing is to watch how much sugar is in there.

  Anne replied to the topic Powdered weight loss food in the forum Weight Loss Forums 4 weeks, 1 day ago

  Have you tried something like Ener-C that you can add to your water for electrolytes and vitamins. Then, try to have things like (good) granola bars, fruit puree packets and try mixing some protein powder in with your coffee.  Do that as little as possible, though.  Try to squeak in a tiny meal now and again if you can.

  Anne started the topic best workout for stress in the forum Health Forums 1 month ago

  I know a workout is important to physical health but I’m using it to beat my stress, too.  Is there a certain kind of workout that is better for stress than another?  For example, is cardio better than strength training? Or is it yoga that is best? Is there something that will be most effective so I can concentrate on that during my hardest days?

  Anne replied to the topic bottoms of feet burning in the forum Running Forum 1 month, 2 weeks ago

  It could be that your feet are swelling from heat outside or for another reason.  My feet always get hot like that when I either have new shoes or my feet are very swollen.  New shoes mostly – because I tend to tie them tighter – but also when I have new socks or my feet swell.  Are you hydrating enough?  Are you eating a lot of salt?

  Anne replied to the topic exercising without using a foot in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 1 month, 3 weeks ago

  He could use a resistance band and hand weights to work his upper body.  I think in terms of cardio he’s pretty mcuh out of luck while he’s healing.  It stinks but after a while, even before he’s fully healed, he should be able to start moving around a little more – not on his foot but at least he doesn’t have to be fully immobile.

  Anne replied to the topic something to ease the calf muscle in the forum Gear Reviews 2 months ago

  Oh no that doesn’t sound fun!  Have you tried one of those massagers that is pretty much a bar with little knobby wheels in the middle? So the ends of the bar are the handles and you just run the wheels up and down your muscle.  Or even one of those foam rollers.  That gets right into the muscle and presses out the tension.  If you learn how to…[Read more]

  Anne replied to the topic balancing exercise in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 2 months, 1 week ago

  I think as long as you’re mixing it up and you stay active, you’ll be fine. It’s not like you’re body building, right? So just keep up the efforts and if you find over time you need one thing over another, change it 😀

  Anne replied to the topic what to look for in a supplement in the forum Supplements Reviews 2 months, 2 weeks ago

  I think Helen1 is on to something.  You really need to assess what you’re trying to get.  Once you know where you need help then you need to look into the products that can fix that. I really don’t think you should go for actual fitness results and nutrition results from the same product.  Keep them separate but make sure they don’t conflict either.

  Anne replied to the topic scuba for beginners in the forum Swimming Forum 2 months, 3 weeks ago

  That’s a really cool question.  There are a lot of different places where you can get your certification.  I think you need a certain number of hours.  You get to train but then you need to put in the time if you want to do certain things. I’m also pretty sure that there are different levels of certification.  The lightest level will of course tak…[Read more]

  Anne replied to the topic Knots in my back in the forum Health Forums 3 months, 1 week ago

  I agree with the other suggestions.  If it lasts too long you should speak wiht your doctor.  It could be somethign other than a knot.  It doesn’t mean that it’s a severe problem, it just might not be a knot so you might be treating it the wrong way.  Just make sure you know what you’re treating.

  Anne replied to the topic Difference between yoga wedge and blocks in the forum Gear Reviews 3 months, 3 weeks ago

  After all the time, effort and mess of trying to make one yourself, you’ll really wish you just bought one from the store already made.  If your blocks don’t work for you, I’d really recommend splurging and just getting the wedge. Plus, if you’ve never used a wedge, you likely don’t know how it is supposed to feel so you could end up making one…[Read more]

  Anne replied to the topic insomnia and weight in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 3 months, 4 weeks ago

  On days when you really didn’t sleep, it’s a good idea to get up and move around. Lots of short exercise sessions.  You trick yourself into thinking your’e more awake than you are.  Then you’ll be able to eat better.  Just focus on stuff without a lot of prep time kind of like I said before.

  Anne replied to the topic recumbent bike in classifieds in the forum Cycling Forum 4 months, 1 week ago

  I dont’ think I would go for that kind of thing from the classifieds.  Even if I thought recumbent bikes as a category were good I don’t know that I would trust one that I found online and not at a reputable dealer.  THere is too much that could go wrong.

  Anne replied to the topic insomnia and weight in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 4 months, 2 weeks ago

  i couldn’t agree more!  I think that when you don’t sleep have a bunch of something healthy but really, really easy to prepare (or that takes no preparation) like baby carrots or something like that.  Then, go for it and eat what you crave.  Just make sure you’ve eaten a lot of the healthy thing first.  Eat it like a robot.  Then, savor the smal…[Read more]

  Thank you Helen1 and everybody.  I try to tell myself I look better than I see myself for that exact reason but its’s hard when I just see all the bad stuff in the mirror.

  Anne replied to the topic keto and diabetes in the forum Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes 5 months ago

  I just tried googling the answer and it sounds pretty complex.  I don’t really understand ketosis/insulin and all that.  I didn’t even realize there was an alternative to glucose for giving energy to your body.  Now that they’re messing with all this stuff wiht diets, do they really understand it or are we all just guinea pigs?

  Anne replied to the topic keto program? in the forum Weight Loss Programs 5 months, 1 week ago

  hmmm, ok thanks.  I was really hoping that there was a Jenny Keto or Weight Watchers Keto style haha.  I’ll keep looking but I bet you’re right.   I wonder if that will start picking up as keto keeps being more and more popular.

  Anne started the topic bathing suit body in the forum Swimming Forum 5 months, 2 weeks ago

  I really want to have a bathing suit body.  I have been losing weight and it’s going pretty good.  I’m proud of myself.  But the problem is that my middle is still squishy.  I can’t just keep doing crunches trying to firm up my belly.  I hate how saggy I look even though I’m slimmer.  I want to be able to show off my progress in a bathing suit…[Read more]
