    Only using my elliptical.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 12:16 AM PST

    I've lost 50 pounds so far, and have another 60 to go. I've recently started actually using my elliptical after letting it gather dust for so long. I looked up a few articles that said it was important to do strength training too, but I'm just not thrilled at the idea of doing that. No disrespect to people who have the motivation to do so, I wish I had that drive. I just know I'll find excuses to stay at home rather than go to a gym and using weights, and buying them is not an option for me right now either.

    Can just doing the elliptical between 20 to 40 minutes a day be enough to get fitter? I already feel like my stamina is better, and I was about to go from a 9 resistance to 11. Is it possible to build up muscles in your legs using one?

    What is Diastasis recti? This is for Diastasis Recti Core and Abdominal Strengthening Gentle Pilates Program Using a Ball, I made a PIlates Prgram using a ball for Diastasis Recti to help anyone with abdominal weakness thay resulted to apartial or complete separation of the rectus abdominis, or "six-pack" muscles, which meet at the midline of your stomach.

    ➡️This is a special Test and Beginner program for Diastasis Recti https://youtu.be/ankHMVFkiYI

    ➡️This is the gentle progression follow along for those who wanted to progress https://youtu.be/ZXK49_rBU7U Diastasis recti is very common during and following pregnancy,

    This is because the uterus stretches the muscles in the abdomen to accommodate your growing baby. One study found that up to 60 percent n may experience diastasis recti during pregnancy or postpartum. And it is also common to men who lifted a very heavy weight during a gym workout or by lifting anything too heavy without proper engaging the core muscles, resulted to over exertion without proper deep breathing and resulted to diastasis recti and could also lead to epigastic or umbilical hernia and if the space gets bigger and the intestinal and digestive system could get pushed out and surgery might be needed if not treated early on. The condition isn't limited to pregnancy, though. It can affect anyone, including newborn babies and men. In some cases, it can result from lifting heavy weights incorrectly or performing excessive or unsafe abdominal exercises. Annie uses her experience as a physical therapist and Pilates instructor to guide a Pilates specific routine with a program to target difficult to treat diagnosis such as low back pain with nerve involvement, neck pain, posture series, abdominal hernia, pelvic floor pain and weakness, upper and lower extremities weakness and pain and overall health and wellness to be strong, fit and quality of life.

    How do you engage your core? Through proper deep breathing, when you inhale through your nose, you pull your navel in, then slowly exhale through your mouth, keeping you spine in neutral by checking it with your hand at the small of your back without pressing on your hand. While slowly exhaling through the mouth , you squeeze your buttocks and then lastly you imagine not to pee in order to engage your bladder and pelvic floor muscles (kegel's exercise).

    Perform at least 10 breaths with engagement of core muscles in order to prevent back injuries and in order to strengthen your deep spinal muscles while keeping your back in neutral position. if you the breaths slowly and move your legs slowly , Engaging the core by performing deep breathing is crucial on each motion of your leg, strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, bladder, diaphragm and the transverse abdominis (a circular muscle that wraps around from the abdomen all the way around your back).

    Here are the gentle exercises to start that will not hurt your back and Diastasis Recti . Vacuuming,, abdominal bracing with proper deep breathing and core engagement: before starting the exercise program in order to activate the diaphragm and strengthen deep core muscles .

    User Testing: testing for a new feature on 8fit

    Posted: 10 Feb 2021 12:35 PM PST

    Hi again, I created a previous post two weeks ago looking for interview participants to learn about their motivations to work out during the pandemic, for the purpose of creating a new feature for a fitness app called 8fit. I have created a scheduling system for users to schedule their workouts and meals. I would like to test out my prototype to see how it can be improved. The testing would take about 20 minutes via Zoom. If you are interested in participating, you can sign up for a time slot below. https://calendly.com/ashleyweii/20-minute-usability-testing I will be testing today through Friday. Thank you!
