Physically, you are not working out too much because i dont really think there is such a thing. HOWEVER you do need to rest your muscles after strength training or you will develope overuse injuries. You can still do strength training everyday, just switch between upper and lower and/or core. Also, you need to be eating more. No doubt about it. Next post ill put up the harris benedict formula that will help you calculate how many calories you should be getting. If you are scared to give up your exercise, like llegitimately afraid, id say its taking it a bit far. exercise should be soemthing you do for yourself but it shouldnt get in the way of your living your life and you shouldnt be using it as an excuse to dodge friends/feelings/new situations. I always say, whats the point in being fit and healthy if you dont use your body to do things you enjoy and experience new things? Since you havent lost weight i am almost positive it is because you arent eating enough. if you get enough calories to fuel your body, and you cut back, you will not gain. Cara- instead of feeling weird or wanting tito blow over i just hate her now. thats how i deal with things. instead of feeling awkward or anything, i just get mad. Twinkie- core moves and cardio will widdle your waist but a dress size in a month is pretty ambitious. I dont know if it is safely possible in that amount of time. Mizfit- HA! if only my problem were people exercising too much. I always get, "I've been working out for 2 monthes, how come i havent seen any results." um, because you are working out once a week. sorry. the best trainer in the world cant get you in shape when they only see you once a week.

If I'm trying to drop a dress size in a month, what do you suggest. I have to wriggle into a bridesmaid dress that I ambitiously ordered a size too small. Any workouts that are best to lose an inch in the waist? Thanks a lot! Hi. If I’m trying to drop a dress size in a month, what do you suggest.

Well, lately I've been trying to distract myself from a break-up, and so I've been turning to exercise. But, I'm wondering if perhaps I am taking it a bit too far. I don't have that many signs of overtraining and I haven't lost any weight--in fact, I've gained muscle, which makes me feel great. But when I start to have a social life again, I'm worried about what my little "exercise addiction" will do. Currently, I run 27 miles per week, and I also do advanced kickboxing DVDs (Cathe Friedrich and Amy Bento). I also do Cathe's Legs & Glutes DVD and her BootCamp DVD, as well as Pilates/Abs workouts and Jari Love's Ripped workouts (arms). I generally work out over 2 hours per day, and that includes cardio (sometimes an hour-hour and a half) and strength training. I do not take a full day of rest anymore, like I used to. BTW, I run 5 days a week, do kickboxing every day of the week (sometimes twice a day), strength training 5-6 times per week (upper/lower split). Yeah, it's a lot. But I'm afraid if I dial it down, I'll gain weight. If I do back off, what should I cut out? Also, I haven't increased my calories any. Okey dokey!
