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…

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…

Full Body Strength Training
Hello, My name is Tommy. Im a 49 year old truck driver who tries to live as healthy as I can being that I spend many hours sitting while I drive. I found that doing a 3 day a week full body routine has made it much easier for me to hit all my muscle groups with frequency. Even if I miss a day or 2, I still hit all the…

How to log exercise: using an ext. app!
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…

Shin splints - push through or rest?
I started running within the last month or so. Usually only 3-4 days/wk, 3 miles per day. I've started to get shin splints and wondering if I should just push through the pain or take a longer break than just 1 or 2 days. I feel like I can push through the pain if the general consensus is "it won't harm you" but want to…

So you want to start running
I see questions about how to get started running pretty much daily here, so I thought I’d put together a bunch of information, all in one place. This will be general, and I’m sure that pretty much every point made here could be argued about on some level, but for beginners, this will all remain true. This is information to…

No, MFP, I am not walking a dog...
For some reason when I track my walks through MapMyFitness and it syncs with MFP, my walks get tracked with the comment that I'm walking a dog. I don't have a dog, I have not selected any options through either app that should suggest I am walking a dog. Is there any way I can convince MFP that I am just walking, sans…

Wondering
I found myself wondering today - why do we have items such as crumbl cookies available to people when they contain up to 900-1000 calories in one cookie? It's just so unnecessary! Couldn't they make smaller cookies of 100 calories each? It's in a way, setting people up for failure.
