Calorie Deficit to BMI ratio - how fast can I lose weight without losing muscle Congrats on your progress so far. @info is correct that although your BMI is showing improvement, it is not the best measurement to base your progress upon. Your body fat percentage will give you better information as to whether the weight you are losing is coming from fat or from muscle loss. If your body fat percentage improves then you are on the right track. If your body fat percentage does not improve or increases, then you are likely not getting sufficient nutrients to maintain or increase your muscle mass. |

Does weight loss and exercise make back pain go away? Weight loss and the right exercises for your particular back condition can make back pain go away. Weight loss and the wrong exercises can aggravate your condition. Only being able to tolerate 5 minute intervals of playing guitar is very limiting. First, find out what is wrong with your back and have a physical therapist set up specific exercises to correct the cause of your pain. Then you can progress to cardio, flexibility and strength training. |

Weight Training for Tennis Not the answer to your question but weighted medicine ball tosses work nicely to combine strength, speed and power needed for tennis. This particular exercise functionally targets the trunk rotators and hip muscles which are important for forehands and backhands. |

Is it physically possible to have a calorie deficit for a month and gain 5 kilos of weight while being on diet and training? @blackace I think that will give you another dimension to see what is going on, because something is not adding up. |

Is it physically possible to have a calorie deficit for a month and gain 5 kilos of weight while being on diet and training? If you have your waist measurements you can use a body fat percentage formula. Although not ideal, it could give you an indication of whether or not if your body fat percentage is going down. |

Slendertone ab toning belt @Info, I don't think that it is fully accurate to equate TENS and EMS. The purpose of TENS is to reduce pain symptoms using electrical currents of different frequencies and wave lengths. EMS is used to stimulate a contraction of weak muscles and is effective in muscle re-education, especially post injury or surgery. You are accurate to explain that with normally functioning abdominal muscles, EMS devices will not give an effective abdominal muscle contraction as compared to actively contracting your abs. |
