Coxing Q&A Training & Nutrition

Question of the Day

Hey! I am a women’s coxswain. I weigh like 116ish pounds depending on the day. I want to lose a couple pounds and I know I can do it healthily. The problem is that I can’t find a way to lose it. I eat very healthily and I exercise pretty regularly, but I always stay around the same weight. Any suggestions?

That’s your body’s way of telling you to stop because you don’t have any excess weight to lose. If you already eat a fairly well-balanced diet and work out on a regular basis then your body fat is probably at a reasonable enough level that there’s nothing extra to get rid of. The minimum is 110lbs, you’re at 116lbs … your weight is fine if that’s what your concern is. I honestly wouldn’t worry that much about trying to lose a few pounds and instead just keep eating healthy and working out when you can.
