Hi Rotimi – are you talking about muscle soreness after working out?

If so, I would recommend stretching after your workout, taking a hot bath, and going for a walk to stay loose and active.

Hope this helps. The muscle soreness is at its worst when you’re just getting back into exercise. It will get better.

Thanks Scott for all these types of exercise. I have restarted my routine this week as I dropped off wayback in January2009 after 2 weeks.
I have muscle pains all over my body. What can I do?

Hi Sara,

Well, firstly I would ask you if you’ve asked your trainer? And if so, what did they say?

And secondly I would need some more details. Exercise is only part of the equation. There is a VERY important other part of the equation called diet. So I would need some info about that.

Scott,

I have been working out with a trainer 3 times a week. I am on the treadmill at several different inclines throughout & I use weights. These are 40 to 50 min sessions. Additionally, I try to walk during the day 2-3 miles. Not all at once. I have also added 2 days of exercising on my own. I have not lost a pound!!! What is going on? I have never done this much exercise in my life.

Hi Sue,

No – go ahead and stand up while doing the row. Perform it like you see in the video at this link:

Yes the spiderman climb works hip mobility as well as abs and shoulder stability.

Hope is helps!

Thanks Yavor! I do love playing basketball and that was the court that I played on when I was growing up.

I miss it!

You’re welcome Jillian.

You’re right and those are 3 powerful words to take to heart:

Progression, Intensity, and Variety is key!

I’ll add Effort and Consistency.

Thanks!

Hi Lee,

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the exercises. I love bodyweight exercises because you can do them anywhere and they really can get your great results.

You might want to try a Gymboss Interval timer found here:
