00:02:01 - Early Riser - I started the 5-0 Method on June 21. Today was my first workout. Until now, life was moderate enough. (I’m SO commenting on this awesome statement!)

00:08:21 - Sheri - I am following the 5-0 Method and have lost 18 pounds. However, I have stuck to my regular diet, and I feel guilty because I could be eating more healthily. What I’m doing right now seems to be working for me, but am I wrong?

https://pahlabfitness.com/ep-084-what-is-a-thought/

00:21:58 - Jackie - I’d like to get all my housework done in one day. Because of my bursitis and a slipped vertebrae, I need to split the work up into two days instead of one. I’m still fairly sore afterwards. Does it sound like I’m overdoing it? I don’t want too much housecleaning to hinder my weight loss.

00:28:26 - Debbie - Do you have any suggestions for a different way to do “twisting Ys” for those of us who have large chests?

00:29:46 - Carol - If you know you will be doing something active (cutting the grass, moving boxes, etc.), should you still do your daily exercise? Or would that be considered overdoing it?

00:33:16 - Erica - What are your thoughts about intuitive eating versus eating the way you set out in the 5-0 Method?

00:43:50 - Sandi - Although I love your workouts, can-cans and triangles are beyond me. What are some good substitutions?

00:50:05 - Chris - I am working daily on strengthening my core, and I typically do the same ab video each time. Should I do more of a variety of core exercises?

00:52:28 - Angele - Is it possible to drink too much water?

00:55:15 - Vanessa - Is there such a thing as speeding up your metabolism?

You guys, I’m happy to share this Q+A episode where the spotlight🔦 is on practicality: maintaining our weight, the “right” ratio of cardio versus strength, carbs in the diet, and . . . one of my favorite pastimes (NOT!) - housecleaning! Let’s get started!

00:04:51 - Trisha - If we are maintaining our weight, how often should we be working on strength and how many rest days in between? I do not want to increase muscle, just keep my metabolism on target.

00:9:26 - Sarah - I mostly ran a 5K (walked a bit) a few weeks ago and was pleased with my performance. Any tips for my upcoming 5K?

00:14:20 - Terri - Is it more effective for your core if you follow the direction of your arms when twisting at the waist or to keep facing forward?

00:17:43 - Laurie - I have been stuck in maintenance for three months but have been trying to lose these last 25 pounds. I ate 1200 calories to lose my first 55 pounds but now am eating my correct number of calories at 1500. I’ve been consistent for a week and have gained two pounds. How long should I keep eating 1500 before I see results?

00:24:10 - Cheryl - While working on your Mindset Masterclass, I came across an example you gave of using the Thought Model around the topic of house cleaning.

00:48:50 - Leora - What is the right ratio between cardio and strength for us quite fit women over 50?

00:54:15 - Maria - I have a love-hate relationship with carbs. I love them; they hate me. (I’m jumping in here to comment on this seemingly lighthearted statement.)

00:57:35 - Marie - I have an underactive thyroid and am on medication for this. Would it be a good idea to drop my calories a bit to help me lose weight?

It amazes me every week that Q+A Friday tends to revolve🔁 around an emerging theme. Today’s topic: a “healthy weight.”

How is it defined?

Do we actually “need” menopausal belly fat to stay healthy?

And so much more!

00:29:01 - Lori - If I want to add in some core work to my daily routine, am I doing myself any favors if I split it up into a minute at a time throughout the day?
