Live Q&A: How to spend workout time, building a routine, burning fat, building a home gym, choosing a protein powder
Answered in this Q&A:
-If you had 30 minutes to work your legs, what would you do? Goal is strength for basketball.
-Coming up with a weekly routine can be daunting. I want to do weight training. Where do I start in creating a consistent, if basic, routine?
-What is the best way to burn a lot of body fat. To lose like 50 pounds.
-A couple of very rookie questions. The first somewhat mirrors Shanon’s above - I’ve got no equipment, I’m wanting to get started on some strength training, what kind of basic routine should I be looking at? The second one - Christmas is coming up, what could I ask for Christmas to get me started?
-Protein powder recommendations?

-What’s a good way to build muscle without agitating the shoulder?
-I’ve lost 98lbs and I need to know how to help my skin maintain firm.
