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…

Weightlifting mistakes...a confession
I read the thread "your mistakes made" from the Health and Weight Loss forum, and became inspired to draft up a similar thread focused upon mistakes I've made while weightlifting, with the hope others will learn from my mistakes made over 16 years of pumping iron and not fall victim to the same. Note: I am not a certified…

So, I got cleared to do cardio, where to start?
After an ablation, and a huge lifestyle change, going from bedbound, to housebound, to now putting in 10.000 steps a day. Where do I start doing cardio? I lost 14kg, staying in range calorie wise is a struggle, just no cravings/appetite. Did 20 minutes of stationary bike while hooked up to machines and got a amazed 👏 from…

Lower back
I am a 51 hr old male. 200 lbs. 5’9”. Would describe my build as athletic with a belly (dad bod I guess). I’ve been consistently going to the gym 4-5 days/week this year and I’m definitely making progress towards my goals. I do a mix of running, weight lifting, and steam room. I’ve noticed some lower back pain in recent…

My Journey Building a Home Gym
Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a bit about my experience building a home gym over the past year. Like many, I started working out more from home, and while free weights and resistance bands were a good start, I eventually felt the need for something more versatile and safe—especially when lifting alone. After a lot of…

Not sure how to add walking, short legs problem
So I am 5ft. I walk as fast as I can, but when I calculate it comes out to 2.7 mph. According to my fitness pal that's a leisurely walk. Should I enter it as how many mph or as leisurely/ brisk walk?

So I just did something bananas...
As of today, 2 September 2024, I am 116kg, unfit, can't jog around the block. Have just started walking regularly again (I do have walking stamina), but hills are still a challenge. I just bought tickets to do a 25km trail run in outback Australia in May 2025. That's 39 weeks to go from a couch potato to someone who won't…

Excercise section conflicts
I log my exercise time in two apps: Fitbit and Samsung Health. When Myfitnessplan syncs and adjusts calories based on calories burned, I see sometime three apps listed with some duplicates of different calorie expenditure.

Logging Gym Exercises
I go to the gym and do strength training for 45min-1 hour. Couldn’t there just be a general calorie range for strength training instead of typing in each exercise? That’s so manual!

Need to buy dumbbells
Trying to get back into lifting, something I’ve never stuck to for any period of time…more on and off and never building up any strength. So my husband, 60 and hasn’t lifted since he played football in high school, and myself 58, decided to make a small garage gym. We’re just starting with dumbells, a rebounder (which is…

Fitbit exercise linked to MFP
Can anyone explain how the calorie adjustment on MFP works? Is it purely for your steps or does it take into consideration all the other exercise logged in your Fitbit? I have them linked but today I walked 12,000 steps, did a 30 minute hit session (recorded as 200 calories on fitbit) and 15 min cross trainer (100…

Exercise calorie accuracy
I’m a 71 year old guy that bicycles 100-125 miles per week on some awesome hilly roads in SW Wisconsin. I use an Apple Watch that syncs great with MFP but I seriously doubt the accuracy of the calories burned during my 90 minutes 12-14 mph ride. Anyone else have this concern or how they compensate for it? Thanks, Nick

Bungee workout: Except for the 'fun' aspect, I don't see much benefit
I saw a lot of people expressing excitement about this bungee fitness class and what a great workout it must be. Personally, I don't see much benefit. Yes, I get that some will think it's fun, and that might motivate them to get off the couch. I acknowledge that benefit, though I personally that's overrated. (Relying on…
