| Advice & Discussions | Motivation to work out/exercise I'm not the most in shape person, but I'm not a big couch potato either. Last time I checked, I weighed 197. I have some muscle, but not the flexing kind yet.
Anyways, 2 weeks ago I had the urge one night to work out (which I haven't gotten in a while). | Asthma and Exercise i've had asthma (diagnosed by a doctor) for at least the last 6 years. i've always exercised, usually running and weighlifting.
however, within the past year or so i've noticed my asthma getting worse when i work out. it used to only get aggravated in the winter and during allergy (ragweed) season. | lower back exercises Anyone know of any exercises for that spot between your lower back and obliques? I'm not really sure, what you would call it, but Ive noticed im geting a bit soft there... | More exercises Well, I very very rarely get a chance to go to the gym. All I have is a treadmill and I do my cardio there almost every day (I'm already on a good diet, and I've lost like 15 pounds, but I still got a long way to go if I wanna reach my healthy target). | Dizzy when i exercise hi i was wondering if any 1 cud give me some advice, when i exercise or sometimes ever just walking up stairs i get dizzy and my heart starts beating pretty fast which obviously concerns me and also i very rearly sweat even when doing an intense workout not sure if there could be something wrong with my pores? |
