Exercise tracking question
Hello all! I've synced my FitBit to MFP, but have noticed that it's not tracking calories burned through Zumba unless I enter it separately - whereas FitBit does. Is there a setting I should change?

Exercise suggestions with back pain/possible minor injury
The last two days I've had a sudden onset of pain in my middle to upper back. It's a sharp pain when I twist or jump. From everything I've read online, it's most likely a muscle sprain or strain.

Lets talk glycogen stores - in non-athletes/women

Random Swimming and Bench Questions
My gym has the slipperiest bench on the planet. Any time I try to bench, I’m sliding all over the place, even with a towel. Any suggestions?
