In reply to: ReneeMB posted an update in the group General YNY Community Hi all. I’m just joining. I just finished my third week of exercising six days a week. It’s a big change for me, but definitely worth it! ViewGood question Renee. Don’t worry If you break up your workouts into 2 or 3 45-60 min sessions. We understand you have a job, life, kids, and other things to get done during the day. If you are getting the time in on a daily basis, the workouts are still beneficial.

Rip is a colleague of mine. We grew up together in Cleveland (East Side) and were competitors (swimming) all the way through college. Rip is an incredible athlete and is still incredibly fit at 50+. Glad you found his book useful. It fits in well with the TTY book. Stay strong. Dr. Klika

535 pounds! Wow. That’s incredible.

Thanks! Great to know. Keep us posted please

Interesting the spread of ages! I had thought that this book was aimed at the over 50 set? Does having members as young as 20 skew the results?? Its so much easier to lose weight in your 20’s & 30”s!

Thanks– inspiring to hear that we are off to a great start!

Here is a tidbit for all those watching calories. The human body uses about a 100 kcals (calories) to walk a 1 mile.
