Hi. I’m 63 years old. I have been fairly active for over 30 tears…until recently. I need to get back on track with my exercise program. I find some of your workout quote challenging at this time..any suggestions? Also the belly needs some help…???
Hi Chris,
I love having smoothies for breakfast but have read that using so much fruit is just as bad as eating sugar. I never bought into this because fruit is good for you, but I have noticed that working out six days a week and eating clean has not sped up my metabolism much. I only wanted to lose five pounds but it seems to be going very slow. Could my daily smoothie be the culprit. They usually are between 300-400 calories and I use it as a meal replacement.
Will you add 10lb Slimdown Extreme to GHUTV?
Are you familiar with SlimROAST coffee (for weight management)? I have a friend who has been drinking a cup a day for many months with great weightloss (and inch loss) success. Just wanted to get your opinion…esp. with long-term success.
I am interested in how to get back into shape after regaining weight that I gained after a stroke. I am fine now, but between the meds and a good bout of self pity, the weight came back. How to begin again? Where to start? A simple walking plan! Planks every morning? Is there a good vitamin or mineral that helps tissues stay strong and supple? Lots of water? Ugh, so many facets to all this!
Are there excerises to get rid of pooch that women tend to get with age?
I’m 45. I’m having a hard time adjusting my workouts for my age and finding something I will be consistent with. Do you have suggestions? And do you have suggestions for supplements I can/should be taking?
Thank you!!
hi Chris love your work outs my question for you am 53 year women pretty good shape I hurt my back 8 months ago been trying to workout what kind of workouts do think I could love to workout to thank you
40 years old, always trying to lose the last 10 lbs. best tips for this? I work out 4-6 days a week for 30mins including hiit, weights, walking. I think my foods is the issue!
Hi Chris! Thank you for get healthy u. I am really enjoying being a member and trying the different workouts. I am 49, and I have lost 11 pounds so far! Yeah! I would like to know what the best workouts are for losing those last 10 pounds without killing my back and knees.😀 Thanks.
I have been working out consistently for the past six months and I’m only seeing very minimal results. I’m thinking the problem is that I only do light exercise, mainly pilates, which I do 4-5 times a week, but I only workout anywhere from 10 min. to 30 min. My issue is that if I start doing anything more strenuous (especially cardio) I get extremely fatigued for the new few days and can’t workout. I have adrenal issues and I believe that prevents me from really hitting it hard. I feel like I’m in a catch 22. Any advice?
Hi Chris! I’m curious about target heart rates. How important is it to stay within the targeted zone for weight loss?
Hi, Laurie. Great question! Using your target heart rate zone really helps you to stay motivated and push yourself to stick within that range. I prefer monitors with the strap for better accuracy, and although they may not be exact they do give you a good gauge at the rate your working at. With that being said if you don’t have your heart rate monitor with you, don’t despair- workout until your slightly breathless or it’s hard to hold a conversation. That’s an easy way to tell if you are working hard enough!
Hi Chris! Not sure if i will be able to watch live, but wonder if you could answer a question. I’m 53, have been exercising for years (with 5-8lb weights). I have some arthritis in my neck, which causes stiffness and pain in my trapezoids and sometimes my mid/low back as well. Is heavier weight work beneficial for my upper body? What are your suggestions for balancing upper vs. lower body workouts to avoid exacerbating neck/back issues? Some of your upper body workouts are a serious challenge for me, although I’m still attempting to use 10lb. weights at times.
Hi, Lisa. Thank you for your e-mail! Using lighter weights may help ease the stiffness you are feeling in your neck, but those upper body strength workouts will help you in the long run! Have you tried Yoga Flowetry or using a foam roller? Balancing your strength workouts with some of our GHU TV Yoga, and Pilates workouts will ease those tight muscles and really make a difference.
Here are some links for your convenience I think will help:
