Walk vs run for first 5K

I also have reduced heart ejection fraction from a heart attack a couple of years ago that left some scar tissue. It is currently…

Lets talk DOMs.
Just wanting to compare notes. Do your doms appear in the same general area at the same time or do they appear delayed? Like I did lots of squats three days ago. The same night my outer bum started to get severe doms, followed by the uppermost part. Then everything moved more towards the middle, and this is where I still…

fitness pal calories vs fitbit calories--why so different
So I have a question: why are calories burned from an activity here so different from what my fitbit records? To be clear, I am not SO hung up on calories, it's just bugging me. For example, swimming is my favorite exercise, then walking. Even when I am wearing my fitbit, if I am walking I time myself and put the time into…

Freestyle dancing for exercise at age 64
As a youth, I literally lived to dance and I danced, sang, and listened to music almost continuously. So, it surprised no one when I grew up to become a pianist/composer in later life. Anyway, I quit dancing in my mid 30's due to the detrimental effects of psychiatric medications and didn't dance for 30 years until…

Exercise membership companies adding GLP1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc) into their plans/memberships?
Hi fitness pals, I've been hearing a bunch about membership exercise-focused companies (ex. Weight Watchers) introducing GLP1 Receptor Agonist drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, etc) into their routines and pairing them with memberships and things like that. Has anyone heard of/seen/experienced this?

Calorie Help

Heart rate monitor for overweight folks?
Hi there! I’m trying to choose a HRM, and my instinct is that I’d find an arm band more comfortable, but it seems like chest monitors are more accurate. My hesitancy with a chest monitor is that I have lots of back fat and belly fat, and I’m worried it would shift around/not fit on me. I’m female and wear a sports bra, and…

What name does the MyFitnessPal app use for "power snatches"?
Hi all, so I'm using the MyFitnessPal app to build a workout routine. When I go to add an exercise and enter "power snatch", I get no results. I thought this was a super standard exercise! Maybe I'm using the wrong term? I see "power clean" and "snatch" and "hang snatch" but no "power snatch". For an easy visual / video of…

Weed Wacking?
Is that considered gardening, general? or would it be mowing lawn, general?

However, when I push the mower up the hill I do feel it in my arms. So not…
