Twitter Q&A

I was unable to get on to do Friday's weekly Twitter Q&A so since I couldn't, I'm doing it today! Ask me your #diet & #exercise questions!

Q: What's the best lower ab exercise? A: Hanging leg raises but you need some equipment. Replace with leg raises on the floor with high reps

Q: Do I need to take vitamins? A: YES. They help supplement any dietary deficiencies you may have. They also help specific needs as well.

Q: I pulled my hamstring, how long should I wait before exercising again? A: Hamstrings are tricky. Rest it for 2-4 wks. (longer if necessary) & then ease back to exercise but if you feel any exercise that tweaks it, stop doing that exercise immediately.

Q: How can I lose 20 pounds in 1 month? A: No healthy way to do so nor would I recommend it. 2 lbs per wk is healthy & sustainable long-term

Q: Are protein bars good for you? A: As a replacement for a meal its ok but don't have many of them because of the carbs & calories.

Q: How can I slim down my hips & legs? A: Same as any bodypart. Tighten diet, cardio & exercise with hi reps. Keep in mind that your hips & legs might be where your body tends to store its fat so that will make it more stubborn. You'll have to work!

Q: What's the best way to work off belly fat? A: Like my last tip, belly fat is stubborn fat. You have to work hard & be consistent Tighten the diet, restrict carbs. Cardio 30 min 4-5 days a week and exercise. You will not only lose belly fat but overall fat as well.
