I know you heard this one B. "I can't do that I'm a girl"

That and "I'm not trying to get brollic."

I'm used to lifting for maximum potential. I can't gauge how to lift for someone else, who doesn't know their max, who is lifting just to tone up.

The worse is the women who are on the ellipticals. Ma you can't burn any significant calories doing that. Get your ass on the treadmill and start sweatin smh.

Then they got the nerve to say they tired and had a good workout from an elliptical.

this the thing Loo women and men should not be working out the same routines yo. Your girl/X going to be walking around with bigger shoulders than you B.

This is why I limit my weight training to 15 minutes with 3 to 5lb weights and I mainly focus on cardio in the gym...

Actually I was informed that the work you do in 30 minutes on an elliptical would require 60 minutes on a treadmill. I guess it depends on the incline and level they have it set to.
I own an elliptical and use it in my home but I also run outside (now that the weather permits), dance, do yoga etc.

Ultimately, machines are NOT a great and effective way to lose weight/stay fit. The problem is that your body builds a resistance to it. You end up working the same muscles at the same pace which eventually does nothing. Free form exercises without any use of gym equipment is a far better option. When I worked with my personal trainer, we never used any of those machines. Worked my behind to the limit and it felt amazing.

I mean... if you in the gym... yet you going home and eating a bucket full of grease and gravy.. I dont know how much the gym is going to help you out.
You have to take the wholistic approach.

This girl I know.. works out from time to time, but her eating habits are inconsistent.

you should see peoples faces when I tell them they can plateau on cardio. I swear I've seen people do 3 hours of cardio each rip for a good 3 months with the sauna suit and all and they can't figure out why their not losing any more weight.

That's bullshit ma. The elliptical is doing the work for you. On a treadmill, you use your whole body.

I better not be seeing you on the ellipitcals.

Yeah, if they stay at level 1 and don't increase pass that. Otherwise, it's a good workout.

to be honest, from a fat black woman's perspective ( cause ya'll never been in my shoes to even talk about this topic):

It begins with the food. It's impossible to lose weight by consuming 3500+ calories per day with 30mins -1 hour worth of exercising.

It boils down to food consumption, understanding how the calories I was consuming was really affecting my body, learning the true meaning of "High-fructose", learning how to really "count calories", properly understanding food portions and weighing food by the ounce, learning to live life without liquid crack aka soda, adapting to enjoy the tastes of vegetables and other greens, and truly noticing that I am less hungry and more fulfilled by living a healthier lifestyle which include exercising (which is why I invested in myself a 2 year 24 hour membership fully paid).

It's been a long way from where I was as a person a 1 1/2 years ago and it truly boils down to the motivation within the person with the willingness to expect failure/success in the new road to change.

I am not to far from my personal/doctor's goal and I am striving to continue my success on my lifestyle change.

Because everyone fails on a diet due to that it is not a true commitment to yourself to fully change your ways.

ellipticals are better, to get a good workout on a treadmill you have to use the incline. you see quicker results from ellipticals as far as toning

Well I have my level set between 15 and 20 and I know I'm burning because I feel all through my legs.. The Elliptical is usually my last stop after the bike and treadmill..

My arms are already pretty sculpted.. I don't want them to get bigger.. LOL... I see these women in the gym on the weights and all I think is "God, I don't want to look like that." So I've keep my routine at level that should guarantee the least amount of muscle gain in my upper body...
