 Abs Some of my indoor cycling participants are complaining of rather significant pain/tightness in their hip flexors. My two best guesses are too low of resistance during standing runs and/or the seat back too much or maybe too high (although I've rarely noticed a seat too high). Both of these, for different reasons, would either load or strain the hip flexors more than is typical. Those are just guesses as to contributing factors and I'm sure there is more going on (weight work, lack of strecthing, etc. are all possibilities).

 Abs I'm 5'5 and 120 lbs. But even though I may look like I have no fat on me I definately have fat on my stomach, thighs, butt and feel like I have no muscle tone. I work out 5 days a week, running on a treadmill-doing interval workouts with incline, but my body never feels tight or toned. PLEASE HELP! I am really frustrated.

 Abs Hi Norma, Whenever I do my abdomen exercises, I never seem to feel any soreness the next day. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to do more crunches or am I just doing them wrong all together? Thank you.

 Abs Norma, I need to know I had an exercising routine, where I was walking at least 60 minutes on the treadmill, and then due to some family problems that came up, I quit all of a sudden. Can you tell me if this would cause me to feel achy all over?

 Abs I have no idea what my sitting hr is but when I am working out it reaches 189 and stays there most of the time. I do not know why it is that high and if it is dangerous. What happens when your hearrate is that high, does it burn more calories? I just don't get it.

 Abs Hi norma. I want to build some muscle in my arms & have a nice defined tone to them. I would love to have my arms look like Linda hamilton's from the terminator movie. Anyway I train my arms 3 days a week I am only lifting 8 lbs can't really go any higher in weight than that I don't think. But I do 2 sets of 8 different exercises for my arms. I do 50 reps for each exercise totaling 100 reps 3 days a week. I used to do 20 reps but that got too easy, when I do 50 I can barely lift my weight on the last rep. My arms are shaky and burning. Will doing this amount build muscle ? I've heard a lot about you can build muscle lifting a heavy weight & fewer reps, or you lift a light weight and do a lot more reps, and achieve the same results Muscle !!! but I don't want huge arms of course. can you define if there is truth to this ? if so, when will I start to notice muscle and definition in my arms ?

 Abs I am very thin and have been all my life. I am naturally thin and never exercise and always eat whatever I want. Recently, I noticed that my legs and butt have gained a little fat and now I want to tone them. I would like to be healthy and start working out for health reasons and also to tone up my body, but I am afraid that exercise will make me lose weight and I DON'T want to lose ANY weight. What can I do to exercise and become fit without losing any weight or making myself look any thinner? By the way, I am a 28 yr. old female (in case that is important for you to know). Thanks!

 Abs Hi. I am a typical pear shape. I am a size 8 on top and a size 12 on my bottom half. Is their any exercise tips you can give me to make my thighs smaller so they are a similar size to my top half. A diet to lose weight won't help me as it will make my top half even smaller! please can you help me?
