I am not on Pinterest!All of them besides the cardio ones, yes. Strength-training is any workout that is focused on creating small tears in muscles so that they will repair themselves and grow. Squats, lunges, dumbbell work, barbell presses, deadlifts, leg presses, wall sits, etc.
CommentsThen it’s a good thing nobody said that you should never do cardio. But the post I addressed was instructing people to “Do a lot of cardio exercises” because strength-training doesn’t help you lose body fat, it apparently just “pushes the fat, making you look bigger,” and that’s bullshit.
CommentsDoing only cardio can be bad for you, though. It doesn’t build muscle through the entire body and can cause you to overtrain and overwork your body. The people who spend hours and hours working out without any results? They tend to be the people who think that an hour on an elliptical and a Zumba class once a week is all they need.
Also, if you were doing XC and your coaches didn’t have you doing anything but running, you had bad coaches.
CommentsActually, depending on how intense your strength-training is, it can burn quite a few calories. But yes, for most people, a combination of cardio and strength-training is best.
But just lots and lots of cardio? That has more negatives that positives.

Do a lot of cardio exercises!
By doing this, your muscles will show since your fat is burning faster. Of friend of mine told me that if you just work out your muscles (or strength training over cardio), your muscles will just push your fat, making you look bigger. Good luck!

Except strength training burns calories as well. And muscles burn more calories at rest than body fat does, so even if you “just work your muscles,” you’ll likely see progress. Cardio is mainly important for cardiovascular health and more endurance.
With the medication and the invasive procedure, exercising would likely either cause your body pain (like tearing your stitches) or the medication would make you too loopy to use proper form and you’d injure yourself.
Take it easy. Stretch a bit. Make some yummy smoothies and read a good book. A week or so off won’t kill you. :)
CommentsIt depends on what your weekly schedule would be like. If you flipped the two days and ended up with a good balance, it’d be totally fine. If you switch the two and therefore have three leg days in a row, it’d be bad.
CommentsJust did the 50 up, 50 down and the beginner arms, getting ready to be at next year’s AMKE. Get ready for it!
Oh, it’s been years since I’ve been to AMKE. Are you getting in shape for a cosplay, or just because?
Why? Because I’m awesome. :)
