Thumb support for hypermobility
The title says it all really! Any recommendations for thumb supports for hypermobile base of thumb? Anyone tried a ring splint? I use thumb tape for lifting but I need something for day to day use. Thinking of trying a ring splint but it looks like they are difficult to guess size wise, and I don’t have access to a special…

Kettlebell-ish workout. What to change?
Still (yeah, still) recovering from a very nasty shoulder fracture. Can't do everything. My core is useless and so is my upper body. Legs are mostly fine. Just for fun, and hopefully for some improvement I'm doing the following workout: kettlebell halo kettlebell between the legs (this might one day smash a mirror) single…

Lunges are the worst.
There, I said it. They're the worst and I hate them. I realize that I need to do them because obviously they wouldn't bother me so much if my quads actually existed... but I still hate them. What's your least favorite exercise?

Does anyone use FitnessBlender.com for their workouts?
Hi, wherever you are and whatever time it may be there, I'm a long-time lurker here and wanted to see if anyone else out there also uses FitnessBlender.com for their workouts! I have had an account with them since early 2015 and witnessed their 2 person team grow into what it is today! Admittedly, I don't go there as often…

Made up a new “Finisher”
I love working out and it has certainly helped my weight loss goals. After a workout I like to have a little “finisher”. This is what I made up yesterday: 10 slam balls with a 20lb ball Five double step ups per leg holding 25 pound dumbbells Ten Russian twists with a 10lb ball Five burpees Grabbed the 25 dumbbells again…

However, i have straight girl friends who i sometimes worry think I'm looking at them in a sexual way just because they are female and I'm a lesbian...... Also... in the gym/pool, I find myself…

Muscle Gains After 60
Is it true that it is more difficult to gain muscle after a certain age? I am a 61-year-old female who eventually would like to gain 10 pounds of muscle. Is this an unrealistic goal? How long will it take, with consistent weight training. I haven't worked out with weights in many years, so I'd be basically starting from…

Fitbit Charge 6 overestimating calories
I feel like I've been here before. :) I just got a fitbit charge 6 and, like all the non original fitbits before it, it's overestimating exercise calories. There's just no way in hell my tdee is 2900 with the exercise I do even if I rarely stop moving as opposed to my garmin which came in at 2400ish. My fitbit stats are…

Should I increase my caloric intake if I am lifting weights?
I am 51 and I am walking everyday and I am able to log my walks and increase my calories as needed for that, but if I do find a strength exercise in the database, it doesn't change the calories I need to consume. I feel like im holding onto fat around my midsection as I have in the past when I dont have enough calories…

Stepper - how do you track it?
So I ordered one of those viral TikTok steppers off Amazon. But I have no idea how to record this in exercise. Putting in "step" either pulls up step aerobics or stair climber. While its a work out, I don't feel like the calorie burn for these is accurate. I don't typically eat my exercise calories, they just become a…

How Many ?
How many days you work out in a week? What is your routine for each day (example: Mon arms, Tues core etc.)? And why do you chose that order to work out? How many breaks or days you take off from working out? And finally the most important question, how do you curb your appetite after workouts?

Brothers and sisters of iron, welcome! Resistance training is a wonderful method to increase strength, improve muscle tone/size, and work off some aggression in a positive manner.

Garmin watch
I've set it up to link to my diary so it links my steps and workouts automatically. I don't actually use it for tracking calories but just as a record of what I've done that day. Why does it tell me I've burnt x calories from morning to early evening then discount them completely if I record a run? How accurate are they…

Gym Etiquette - What is the worst that you seen?
I hate when people at the gym will use three different machines at once, rotating after each set. Then get mad at you for hopping on an empty machine because they are on their rotation. Pick a damn machine/bench, do your reps and move on. Then you have the one rep, walk around two laps then back to their machine for rep #2…

Bad to work out only 1 arm?
I broke my wrist about a month after I added strength training to my routine. I can’t do much with that arm (other than physical therapy!) but if i did an upper body workout on only one side, is that bad? Maybe I should just do core : lower body and my walks for the next month or two?

Upper Arm Tracking Devices
I am ready to invest in a new tracking device. I previously lost 100lbs using the Bodymedia armband, which I loved and found super accurate and effective when eating at a deficit. Unfortunately, bodymedia is long gone, but I have noticed a few upper arm tracking devices on Amazon. Yay! Any recommendations on a good one or…

Swimming - is it fun or a fat burner?
I’ve recently joined a gym with a swimming pool and after 2 days of hitting the gym, I decided to take today’s session in the pool. I feel that my activity in the pool was high enough to burn some calories, indeed I was tired and out of breath. So I’m sat here now wondering, is the swimming an effective fat burner?

Stretching for more flexibility
Hi. I’ve always been a weight lifting person who likes strength training and the way my body feels after a workout. However I have no flexibility. I tried to go to a beginner’s yoga class once and I was so tight and had no balance. I recently started to do the 7 minute stretch exercises that this app recommended for a…
