    It states that if you just stroll along easily it doesn't do much good, and the study compared 2 groups of female athletes (which varied in the intensity of their exercise) to a sedentary population, but I am not on here to argue with you. In fact this stuff is public knowledge at this point...

    The reason I specifically stated "I recommend weight bearing exercises such as walking and jogging for cardio" is that because they are weight bearing... therefore you kill 2 birds with one stone... You have both benefits of improving cardiovascular fitness and bone/joint strength and bone...

    It has nothing to do with the exercise being cardio... the stair climbing you mention is cardio. Walking and jogging are weight bearing exercise... you are on your feet and carry your own weight along... that is why they can help with bone density/strength. Goggle key words and there are lots...

    weight bearing exercises are those that bear your own weight... that they can also be cardio is besides the point. walking and jogging are exercises where you are on your feet carrying your body weight. they just happen to be cardio in nature... so is swimming a cardio exercise, but it is not...

    Hi there:) I am aware of trainers like these... and they totally suck!!! I am actually working on becoming a trainer myself, and I hate to see this type of attitude among some trainers. I am almost finished with my course and because I suffer badly from some type of undiagnosed IBD and know...

    Battling something that could be Crohn's?

    Wow... I am so sorry to hear you are going through all of this! It sure sounds familiar... I have been dealing with all of those symptoms, except for the puking, for years now. They keep saying I have IBS, but I know better. I have a family history of Crohn's, colitis, colon cancer, and...

    Registering for MM in CT

    If you go into remission from MMJ, the doctors and pharmaseudical companies will be out tons of money... no wonder they don't support it.

    will the brownies (or other baked goods) last well if you make a bunch and freeze them for later?

    Cannabrownies - Recipe & How-To

    I thank you so much for warning everyone to be careful about how much they ingest! I once tried making brownies, and did the thing where you add the MJ to the butter so it is in cook-able form ( I heard you should do this but didn't know why at the time) They turned out great, but thank God I...

    I have had a very similar experience!!! Please read my thread on marijuana use and negative Crohn's test result which I just posted today:)

    Anyone used MM by itself?

    Also... I prefer to vaporize, as I am a non-smoker otherwise, and prefer not to smoke... this eliminates the toxins present during combustion:)

    Anyone used MM by itself?

    Although I am currently undiagnosed I have been battling something that has all of the Crohn's symptoms for years now, and have tried several meds... none worked and in fact they made me worse. Every time I use MJ I pretty much go into remission and am almost normal! Unfortunately, I am...

    Clinical Trials in the US?

    I don't know but I am interested too!!! Although I am undiagnosed and doctors cannot figure out what the heck is wrong with me, I have all the classic Crohn's symptoms and have tried several meds, which all made me worse... not better, and had terrible side effects for me which were worse than...

    MJ and Crohn's test results?

    Hi! I am new here, and currently undiagnosed. To make a long story short, I have always had digestive issues my entire life, but they have gotten really bad about 5 yrs ago... prior to this time they were pretty mild, but I was a recreational marijuana user. I had quit using it when I found...

    Returning to Exercise

    Hi Denise! I am so glad to hear you are doing so well! I am undiagnosed at this point but have been battling something which really seems to be Crohn's. All tests that have been done so far have come back negative, but I believe they are false. I am finishing up a course to become a certified...
