What a fantastic time we had in this week’s Q+A session, chatting about healthy aging, calorie intake, dumbbell workouts, and getting up and down from the floor. Enjoy all this and more on the replay!
(NOTE: Q+A Friday will return in July after the rest of my home renovations are complete!)
Q+A Friday, Ep. 88
00:02:07 - Do we need to spread out calories throughout the day, or is it okay to eat them at one sitting? If I eat just once, will my body go into starvation mode?
00:06:26 - I find that I get so busy during the day that I often don’t get all my calories eaten. Should I eat up to my calorie target before bed, or would it be better to tell myself that I’ll do better tomorrow?
00:14:01 - In the past when I would complain about not losing weight, people would tell me that muscle weighs more than fat. Is that true? And if so, how?
00:20:34 - Would you consider putting together a series featuring heavier weight training? Link: Body Shaping for Women over 50 series https://pahlabfitness.com/programs/body-shaping-over-50/
00:24:50 - Is there a way I can find only your workouts that use weights? Link: Dumbbell workouts playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxEW_OukMMsopWS7JTGxMm86Na5qELrCv
00:27:05 - Since getting up and down from the floor is such an important skill as we age, would you consider putting some of these moves into future workouts? Link: Empowering Core Workout For Older Women Functional Training at Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkH0nxbTaT0

00:32:19 - Variety helps me stay motivated while exercising from home. When releasing new workouts in the future, would you consider adding more varied equipment?
00:35:46 - Sometimes when I do arm circles in our warmups, I can hear my shoulder crunching. I’m told this is a normal part of aging. Are there any health risks for me when I do arm circles?
00:37:30 - I notice that I’m barely breaking a sweat during our cardio workouts. Does that mean I’m not working hard enough? Should I be tracking my heart rate?
00:41:50 - I’m stopping keto. How many fat grams do I need?
00:44:10 - How do you know how many calories to eat in a day? Link: The 5-0 Method https://pahlabfitness.com/programs/the-5-0-method/
00:48:42 - I have to take it easy because I have an ankle injury. What workouts can I do? Link: Chair/Seated Workouts playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxEW_OukMMspitJJFyUzvCJk5XcaQmvtL
00:49:58 - I’m back to working out and want to know if we can do another challenge like you’ve done in the past. Link: Weight Loss for Women over 50, 31 Day Challenge https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxEW_OukMMsrOqQAfvEzMPQycsixLejyx

00:51:00 - Can your seated workouts be done on a stability ball?
00:51:48 - How do we know if we’re at the right weight to begin the Body Shaping Series?
00:52:32 - On the days when I don’t do your videos, I play pickleball for two hours plus walk four miles. Should I eat more calories on the days I work harder?
