Ask An Expert: Paul, I've Had Pelvic Surgery But I Want To Run A 5K!

Q: Paul, I’m a 22-year-old woman, and I’ve had 5 surgeries on my pelvis, the last one being in May 2009, and in February 2010 one of the screws that was put in broke. I feel better now and I’ve started walking and 1hr is the longest I’ve walked without stopping since my surgery. My goal is to run 5k in September but I’m not sure how to get started because my cardio endurance is in the toilet and right now the impact of running hurts where I had my surgery. Any suggestions on how I’d be able to accomplish my goal?

Ask An Expert: Paul, I Need Help Balancing Calories!

Q: Paul, I am a 22-year-old male who weighs 204 pounds and is having trouble with caloric intake versus caloric expenditure. I have a watch that is telling me I am burning between 1000 and 2000 calories when I workout, but I find that I am still gaining weight. I eat about 1600 calories of clean healthy food but I still gain weight. Is there a chance that my body is going into starvation mode? What do I need to be eating to continue this level of activity?
