It's a relatively mild lumbar discopathy as a result of all that jumping (and landing!) during 10 years of volleyball in my twenties.

If I'd ask my doc he'd give a long, complicated and "political" answer that would basically mean I have to decide on my own what's OK for me :) Been there, done that.

Well, I went through the search results for "abs" and none of the threads truly covered them from this perspective.

I, and I'm sure many like me, have back issues. It's not serious enough for...

Take it from someone who's been there - you don't need P90, or any other DVD program out there. I did some of them: P90, P90X, P90X3, Insanity, RushFit...) and the conclusion is simple - Nothing...

I totally agree with the initial post of the thread.

I find full body routines to be the best cost-effective training, where cost is not only amount of cash you invest into your training.

For...

Hey,

I know that this is a topic that's been covered lots of times, from different perspectives. However, I didn't manage to find relevant info regarding what I'm about to ask you.

What are the...

Lets face it, magazines aren't much more than ad disctribution tools publishing industry "approved" texts that results in more sales which results in more money for marketing which results in more...

Well, I'd say OK :) I've done that. In my time I've done home fitness, DVD programs, classic gym (full body and splits), circuit training, playground stuff, running... and all these while being my...

My goal is to stay on track and not get too loose doing only running.

I really miss the pullups and I feeel like there's no replacing them. Lowering weight (with cable pulldowns or resistance...

I can't (it's a smaller list):
-pullups, pulldowns
-pike pushups
-dips, bench dips
-single arm ballance stuff
-military press (i think i'd avoid the shoulder completely)
-explosive movements...

Totally agree, assuming that instructors in the gym know what they are doing... I'm sick and tired of self proclaimed instructors and fitness experts. One of the reasons why I prefer at-home fitness,...

Valid point. What's your take on variety (more exercises to choose from)? And what about standard sets vs circuit training?

Absolutely nothing. I just prefer pushups over bench, and deadlift is kinda' pointless with 10kg dumbbells :) It's what I have at home and I don't intend on spending money in gyms while recovering...

Done that. It is doctors orders to "reinvent" fitness. I am permited to do anything that does not involve lifting the arm over 90 degress (pull-ups, military press, handstand press, "hindu" push-ups,...

Hey there,

I need your help guys and girls.

If you have to create a full-body routine to be done while recovering from a shoulder injury, what would you put in it?! It can be short, long, set...

I agree with most comments. They are both different and important. I have one question though...

I've suffered a shoulder injury and pull-ups (assisted pull-ups included) are difficult (if not...

Well I might have added that those are Romanian deadlifts hence a hamstrings workout. However, I feel this exercise pretty much everywhere in my lower body so it's OK. Over time, if it's not enough...

I run and I lift. I mostly run short to medium distances (5-10km) and the purpose of the weight training is to complement the running and a general increase of fitness (and decrease in body fat %)
...

I love full body routines. Over time I came to realize that they suit me the most. First, this kind of routine is aligned with my other fitness activity - Running. Second, the nature of the training...

I see only one problem in doing circuit in the gym - practicality!

It'll have to be a properly equipped gym so someone can do this in it. Most gyms (the one closest to my home included) only have...
