Moreover, Tracy Andersen’s clientele (with the exception of Lena Dunham) seems to be exclusively people who are already fairly thin and/or in shape. Like, her model client is Gwenyth Paltrow, and she’s on record as saying how drastically she changed GP’s body, which....sorry, she was lean and lanky before, she’s lean…

Personally, I find that weight training does more for my mood than cardio (though I do both), especially if I am fighting a depression or feeling anxious. After a session with weights I can feel an improvement in my mood in about twenty minutes. Perhaps if you try a few different modes of exercise, you’ll also find…

I also HAAAAATE the idea that muscles=bad. I lift a lot weight and it’s awesome and Anderson can shove it.

God I know. I was so excited until I read that line, as I FINALLY have gotten back into working out within the last 6 months or so, after 2 years of letting my anxiety get in the way of it. And it’s awesome and I love it and I sleep like a baby now.

Mostly it’s just me sputtering “IT’S NOT EMBARRASSING TO LIFT MORE WEIGHT THAN YOUR BOYFRIEND” after another day at the gym. There’s also a “NO CURLS IN THE SQUAT RACK! NO CURLS AT THE BENCH!” component. And depending on my mood, “NO! I’M NOT FAT BECAUSE I LIFT HEAVY! I LIFT HEAVY BECAUSE I’M FAT!”

And if you get me…

But this fat person is lazy! Well, okay, not so much lazy but that it’s demoralizing trying to do exercise routines meant for people who are already in shape and you can’t make it 2 minutes and then you just give up because you’re a failure.

It helps me with autoimmune issues but it’s nothing major, like sparkly lights. Whenever I fall off the exercise wagon, I go for two weeks of doing something 6 days/week. Then, I can point to more energy, better sleep, in general better overall mood. And after the two week kick start, my commitment is 150min…

Its not that you won’t get results - its that its a pretty inefficient way to exercise. And she makes hay out of the idea that “big weights give you big muscles” which has been pretty thoroughly debunked.

This is terrible news for those of us with digestive issues who might be buying baby purees for medical reasons. Now I'm just going to look like a douchebag on a stupid diet when I take my stuff on the plane. :|

What’s the problem with high-rep light weights? Is it essentially b/c it doesn’t really do anything for your muscles?

Thanks for the replies especially this one as the sweating thing hit a nerve!! I don’t mind the sweating (if you’re working hard it’s inevitable and proof you’re putting in the effort) but I my face goes beetroot red which I HATE. Also, and I know this is terribly illogical and backwards, but because I’m not happy…

I hate sweating. Like a lot. Running does nothing but make me angry. Yoga, likewise, makes me angry. I have tried treadmills, ellipticals, stairsteppers, running, lifting weights, yoga, pole dancing (which was fun until it wasn't), softball, soccer, Zumba, etc. The only exercise I have ever fallen in love with (and…

Maybe you should try a different form of exercise? I’m not really into running, and like you, I start getting in the habit, and then give it up. But I really like swimming, hiking/walking, and yoga. Also, the first thing I do when I get up every morning is 100 sit ups. I am NOT a morning person, and this quick little…

I took a soccer class in college and about 3-4 weeks in I was actually feeling happy at the end. It was so weird that I even called my boyfriend to tell him about it. I’m terrible at exercising but sometimes I take long, brisk walks and it helps me relax a bit (I’m also more tired at night so I sleep a bit better). I…

Logically, I know exercise is supposed to be incredibly helpful for anxiety, depression etc, but when should it kick in? Is it something that takes a few weeks/months before feeling the benefit? I’ve never been a lover of exercise and need to change that for my physical health but I think I need it as much for my…

Meth, Nelly? METH?!?!?! Weed’s like nbd, but meth will destroy your body and your life.

Ron Moore made a comment about how to Jamie, this is not done in anger or malice — hence the music. To him it's really just simple justice, but he gets turned on by how much she fights him. If they shot this from Claire's perspective, it would be dark, scary and downright horrifying- and potentially turned a LOT of…

I think you can be well-educated and still act immature, and by failing to reckon with the fact that Claire's from a different place (though WAY different than he thinks) and expecting she'll just go along with his "well this is the way things are done in the Highlands" speech, that's what he's being. He might have…
