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…

Why the App changes???
Recently the app was “upgraded”. Now areas are more difficult to find. Adding a recipe of my own does not lead naturally to a finish and save.

Hey friends — I need a bit of accountability. After months on bed rest and several surgeries including lymph nodes removed, my fitness has taken a big hit. I still deal with daily pain, swelling and hospital visits, but I want to start getting back to life one small step at a time. So I’m committing to walk 1 mile every…

Lazy exercise; I got one!
The day after an intense exercise session, I am disappointed I can’t work out the next day. What I’ve done instead is put a water bottle in my knapsack when I go out. Yknow when you do errands? Multitasking! Get some exercise in right there. The added weight makes my walk a bit more challenging, hence it is like a workout.…

Best, affordable, fitness tracker/watch for an avid swimmer?
Hey there, I'm looking for something I can wear in the pool for at least 30 minutes of swimming, drills, and main sets for swimming. I know most watches are "waterproof" for 50 meters depth, rather than continuous water exposure for prolong periods of time- I'm trying to see if anyone has good recommendations!

How do you track exercise calories?
The default calorie estimates for exercise on MyFitnessPal are way off. I say this because I was track my exercise through an integration with Polar Flow in addition to logging some light walking on my walking pad.
