Hahaha the electrical activity is caused by the movement of sodium, potassium and calcium through the muscles and things like Ns/K pumps. Your central nervous system is like a computer with your brain running things and sending electricity from there to your whole body and then back.. Google that stuff sometime and you can get very confused learning it as a medic was it easy at first until you put it all together lol.

Got this bow flex M3 this weekend (I know should have for the M3 driver too but got the M4). Man is the 14 minuets of interval training hard. It's kicking my rearend. But it's no impact on my joints and gives a decent upper body workout without extra strain on my shoulder. We will see if there are any decent results in about a month.

I have an M2 that I have been using for a little over a month. I am down about 10 lbs and it is the only exercise I do. I use it about 5 days a week. I typically do the smart max workout 3 days a week and then follow up with the calorie burn or steady state for 30 minutes. On the off days I do the calorie burn and then steady state. I am just using the default resistance.

 

You are correct it will definitely kick your butt

For all of us losing so much weight - have you wondered where the fat went? I always thought it turned into muscle - nope! Here's a good article from my news feed this morning that explains it. I was surprised.   https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/health/lose-weight-where-does-it-go-partner/index.html

Righto fella's I will jump in here also! 

 

I'm 5'11 and currently sitting around 235. Lowest i have been in the past 5 years is around 205lbs. 

I was 245 after the birth of my first child. I stacked the pounds on boy oh boy... So the missus and I decided to go at it and drop em. So Jan 1 2013 we went for it - I wanted to lose 30 by my 30th birthday. 

 

I lost 40 lbs in 4 months - around 30 in the first 2 1/2. 

 

The key to my success was a set eating plan and spin classes. Problem was i kinda got obsessed with it and wasn't eating enough. Then, when you put it back on, it doesn't come off as easy when you try again! 

 

Anyways, I am looking to get down to 210 by August 1st. I will join you fellas and hopefully we can all hit some goals and be just that little bit healthier (and happier)

My wife and I had a couple of our wedding pictures enlarged, framed and are hanging on a wall.   We often say--remember when we looked like that. We have our personal version of the "All in the Family" theme--Those were the days.

The trainer at the VA had me go 40 minutes on the bike today.......nice workout.

thanks guys.Anyone can do this at any age.Cut out sodas/ heavily salted snacks/ fast food greasy burgers and wear a sweater and exercise pants when working out.People always want to show their bods when working out.When in reality a sweater will help you sweat off more calories faster.Its a lifestyle change more than anything

Hey - I'm game for abuse, the video is of the trainer not me. My wife is critiquing my performance of the exercises. The trainer wants me doing the band workout twice a week and cycling four times.

 

Part of that routine is to fit my not my work schedule. I'm exercising two and a half hours a week, up from zero.

 

Not bad!

 

No wonder I've dropped 14 lbs in six weeks.

That's an awesome result - and one of the many benefits of exercise.

Great job Rev. Keep it going

Is it to late to join you all on this "adventure"? I really need to lose 25-30 pounds and get more active.

 

I am trying to get 45 mins of cardio a day in to help offset all the sitting I do at my office job. I really need to drops some carbs too. It's tough though a sandwich is so easy and cheap to make for lunch.

 

Good luck to you all on reaching your goals!!!

Well, apparently eating McDonald's, free office lunches and the occasional sushi run for lunch is not helping me lose weight the last few weeks, go figure 😂 Gotta hunker down and exercise more, eat less junk food and drink more water. Went backwards today as I also had a Hershey bar to relieve the stress I was feeling in the office ☹️. On a good note, it was a really, really good Hershey bar 😁

I'm glad I'm still down 8 lbs since this not the drop I wanted but it's a change. Hoping that soon my academy changes and I actually get a chance to workout again.

Occasionally you need a reward (for whatever reason) and it's chocolate. I found cutting back on salt intense foods (re: fast food or snacks) and cutting back sugar drinks makes a huge difference. I'm sure you'll be on track shortly.

 

After 3 months I still crave chips, an occasional McDonald's but have achieved reasonable will power. However, I will occasional sneak a chocolate bar.
