Re: The Exercise Portion of the Incurables Program

Great post Wings.  LOL, I especially liked this little blurb "So EVIL Uny said "Crank it up!"  You are so funny but I bet at the time she said it thats exactly how you felt cause I would have too LOL!

"She also made an interesting comment that at one point she wasn't taking in enough calories and her body hung on to the weight it had, because it believed she was starving. She started eating more (of the right kind of food), and the weight started falling off again and she could build lean muscle mass. I think this goes right along with Dr. Schulze saying to eat 3000-5000 calories a day (IF you're working out like this) in juices, etc."

You made a very important point here.  I have a friend who hired a personal trainer to come to her home 3 times a week and he told her the same thing when she hit a roadblock and wasn't losing any weight.  His first question was "what and how much are you eating" and of course she wasn't eating enough to compensate for the extreme workouts she was doing 5 days a week so he adjusted her food intake and she started losing weight again.

That workout series looks great, I think I’m going to get it because it looks like it really works your core and every muscle in your body.

A friend of mine had been telling me for years about her MTB shoes, she even has the boots that she wears when she goes hiking.  So a couple of years ago when I started walking I broke down and bought a pair (they are very expensive) because she told me they worked muscles I don’t even know I have.  She said they would tone me up much quicker than wearing regular tennis shoe.  They tell you not to wear them all day until you get used to walking in them but I was so excited I didn’t heed the warning LOL and I dearly paid for it the next several days.  The next day I discovered I had muscles that I’ve never used before in my life and it was simply from walking in these shoes, incredible.  The video shows the muscles you don’t normally use in regular shoes being worked, I attribute my toning up so quickly in part to these tennis shoes.  I bought them in the winter so I got the tennis shoes but when summer came it was way too hot for me to wear those shoes they are much more insulated than normal tennis shoes.  So one day I put on a regular pair of lightweight tennis shoes and went to work.  Well let me tell you I had to come home and change shoes because my regular tennis shoes felt like planks of wood on my feet.  My posture was bad in them and it felt like I was actually raising a plank of wood on my feet with each step I took.  It was awful so I ended up buying a pair of the MBT sandals that day the only problem was that I had to order them and it took a few days to get them so I had to suffer LOL.  Wow, I guess I sound like I work for the company but truly I don’t ha ha.  Once you get used to wearing these shoes there is nothing like the feeling you get, its wonderful.  You can even exercise your calves, thighs, and butt while standing still just by rocking on your feet in the shoes I love them, its liking walking on air!

Sweat On..........
