Number of leg days per week----Is more better?
Hi, So I only do 30 minute leg workouts, combining weighted squats, dead lifts and Romanian deadlifts. Can I do this every other day or is that too much. On the other days, I do a 30 minute pretty intense trail bike ride to get my cardio in (I have heart issues so cardio is important for me to do). Thanks for any advise!

Please guide me on my new journey
I'm starting this all up in my 40s and I'm scared and heck to try again. I need help with my stomach area. I love to go running/walking but I need some exercises I can do on a daily basis that can help me get rid of some of the inches on my sides.

"Bulky" vs "Muscular". The real definition.
I wanted people here (especially females) to know what the difference is between "bulky" and "muscular" because for some reason, many think they are one in the same when they aren't. So first let's define the words: bulk·y (blk) adj. bulk·i·er, bulk·i·est 1. Having considerable bulk; massive. 2. Of large size for its…

Eating back exercise calories
I'm just wondering what people's experiences are with eating or not eating back exercise calories? Does anyone find that if they eat them back, they don't lose? Or if you don't eat them back, you don't lose? I know the science and reasoning behind it all so I'm not asking for advice on whether or not you should eat your…

Are you exercise calories?
I´m sure there has been lots of discussion about exercise calories, but I´m still uncertain. For example today I have eaten 1500 calories (my goal is usually 1800) and exercised 450 calories. How much should I eat more? Or do I just go to sleep...

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?

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…

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?
