Question: I was taking in 1400 calories daily, walking six days a week (30 – 60 minutes), and doing strength exercises two days a week, and was not losing an ounce of weight. This has gone on for six months. I am so sore each and every time I’m done walking, but not sore during the walk. My doctor’s theory is “you aren’t doing enough.” My trainer says I may be overtraining. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, this still amazes me. Muscle strains that can take three or four days to heal if you sit around are gone in a day or two if you keep yourself moving. I heal just as fast in my 40s as in my 20s.
Kareem: Is that offer of video responses open to existing LHPH members? Got a couple of exercise substitutes I want to hit you up for.
Also, just an idle question about your Antigravity Solution program. Would that be too rigorous for a female in their 60s (tough as nails but) with arthritis challenges?

Hey Lynda,
Thanks for writing in.
Have you read The Calorie Furnace Chronicle yet? (you can get it by signing up on the right hand side of this page)
It sounds to me that you’re not consuming nearly enough calories… also, your walking/weight-lifting ratio is off a bit if your intention is to lose weight. It’s much easier to lose weight while watching nutrition and building muscle.
All offers are good for Lift Hard Play Hard customers.
You guys get hooked up, every single time. That’s why it pays to be a customer of Lift Hard Play Hard.
It’s awesome hearing how quickly you’re healing – that’s a sign of fitness you never want to go away… keep up the great work – I’m right behind you!
As for Anti Gravity Solution, it should be perfect for a strong 60 year old. It’s meant to be a lighter program, but it’s a ‘feel-good’ kind of workout, you know?!
Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions…
Have a great day,
Kareem

How do you work around a knee injury? The PTs are making me work the knees all the time by either doing squata and lunges or leg raises or walking. I’m gettting stiffer. My knees feel like they weigh 30 lbs!

Hey Mary,
That’s simple. Exercise everything else. I actually go into a full discussion of this in the ‘Exercising Around An Injury‘ video presentation in Lift Hard Play Hard, but the basis is simple to follow. Exercise everything that is pain-free (your fingers, toes, elbows, shoulders, trunk, etc.) – you’ll heal faster by promoting increased circulation.
