What Was Your Work Out Today?
I am often going on to Instagram to get work out ideas, as I follow a few trainers who post videos. I work out 5-6 days a week and like to mix it up & try new things. I thought I would start a discussion and have people post their work outs. Maybe give each other some good ideas! If I stick with the same thing over and…

Exercise Calculations
Help! Last week, I turned on the negative calorie adjustment. Since then, my exercise calories are all over the board. For example, last week on one day I ran 2.5 miles and later that day, walked approx 3 miles. MFP logged my whole exercise category as -446. The overly negative tracking happened for about 5 days in a row.…

Do you run slow? Then you might be doing it right!
I know some people eschew running because of its impact on the body, especially knees and hips. I have friends that tell me I shouldn't do it because I will inevitably get injured. To be honest, I got out of the habit at some point and will get back into it. I have never been a fast runner. Well, my last two or three years…

Running Help (Pace)
Can anyone share some strategies to change my basic running pace? I did exclusively distance for a while, and now I find myself falling into a slow pace I could keep up for hours every time I quit actively concentrating on pace. Current cadence tends to stay 165ish, so I know that could stand to come up some. Any tips?

Getting Started with Strength Training
I'm almost at the half-way point with my weight loss, and had planned that to be when I would start working on building muscle (while continuing to lose the remaining fat). It isn't really an option to hire a personal trainer, so I'm looking to try to find a place to create a workout plan that is flexible for growth. I've…

Hey everyone! I’m a student in college (let’s go Penn state) and I want to go to the gym again.

Calorie counter for exercise seems half
Why does the calorie counter for walking seem to only give you half credit for calories? If I walk 23,000 steps in a day I’m only credited with about 330 calories. That seems to half of what it should be for walking 10 miles. The numbers are similar for 5,000 or 17,000 steps. It always seems low by 50%.

It seems impossible to track exercise calories burned …
I am very active - Pilates, judo and track workouts when not covered in snow - and exercise calorie burns seem impossible to calculate with ANY degree of certainty. Age, gender, how hard the training is … so I have taken to upping my calorie intake by settings and ignoring the workouts. How have other people dealt with…

Exercise - hockey question on duration
Hi, There is an ice hockey exercise preloaded (which I assume is just as good for roller hockey). However, as anyone who has ever watched or played hockey knows you are not out on the ice/rink the entire time. So assume a 50 minute game, you might only be out there for 20 minutes. So my question is, does the duration…

Hi, I don’t use any of the apps that you can connect to here. I have two apps that I really love and have been loyal to, Down Dog yoga & their HIIT app. I just want to be able to log the time I spend on those apps — I can somewhat easily get my HIIT exercises logged here but I tend to do more yoga. I am not entirely…
