I've been exercising 3-5 times a week. 3X when i'm really busy with school (grad school=not a lot of free time lol), but I aim for 5X most weeks. I've been doing about an hour of cardio each time I go (ellipticals and treadmills mainly) with high intensities. Thanks again! lol sorry to keep bothering you, but i forgot one of the most important parts.

However, I know I need a balance of both to achieve my goals, BUT i really need the numbers on the scale to go down :(. I am clueless. What do you suggest? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking at some of the links on your website, and it seems that you might be able to help me. I am a 22 yo- african american female (idk if this makes a difference or not-so i'm including just in case). Currently I weigh around 171 +/- a few pounds. A the beginning of January, it was in the 190s. My measurements are 38-31-42.5; the fullest part of my ribcage is 35. For the past couple of weeks, my weight has been fluctuating b/t 169 & 175. My calorie intake is between 1200-1500 (1200 most days of the week). I really want my numbers on the scale to go down, however, I also want to be toned. Considering I still want to tone my ENTIRE body more, the only area that I'm really displeased with right now is my arms. Hi Ray!

But the recommended diet for pro athletes is only 10% protein with more grains, vegetables and fruits. Is this applicable for the average person who works out on a daily basis but is not a pro athlete? The funny thing is that even endurance athletes worry about fat – surprising to most people.

I mainly do a combination of side and regular "plank" positions and hold them for about 30 seconds. After about 3 or 4 circuits I find that I lose the ability to focus on the area and other muscles in the body start to take over and I feel like I'm no longer building the strength of my core. Any thoughts on how to get past this "wall" or just keep working at it to increase the reps? Thanks. Ray, I do isometric routines at home to work my ab areas.

Everybody seems to forget this, thinking they need a different routine for different goals. It's like driving a different type of car based on where you want to go! All you really want is the most efficient car for the job. Same with your workouts. Thanks for pointing this out! Great tips!

It's a private gym so it's by appointment only. If you want to book a session just give me a ring and I'll see if there are spots open. Hey Maryann. It’s a private gym so it’s by appointment only.
