How accurate is strengthlevel.com?
Hi ! Have any experienced weightlifters ever used the strengthlevel.com website? And if so, does it seem accurate in terms of the database they provide? It seems fairly ok overall, but sometimes on certain exercises I get the impression that it's off the mark. Like hip thrust, I'm doing sets at 120kg (~265lbs) and it puts…

Lose Muscle vs fat first?
I've been working out and was suddenly forced to stop due to hypertension. I've been losing more rapidly since stopping working out than I had been before. Ideas whether I'm losing muscle or losing fat? The working out I was doing wasn't crazy intense so its not like I was massively muscle building before stopping. I was…

Gym routine?
I know this may seem silly, but whenever I go to the gym I feel a little overwhelmed by all of the machines and such. I don't really know where to start! I tend to do about 15 minutes on the bike for a warmup (about 2 miles) and 30 minutes on the elliptical. My long-term goals are to lower my body fat percentage to 20-25%,…

You DON'T have to be sore to have had a good workout
I've had the occasional client come to me every now and then and say they aren't getting sore from their workouts and wondering if they need to increase their intensity, resistance or duration. Well totally depending on what their goal is, I will make adjustments. However since 90% of my clients are just looking for good…

Neck Tension After Barbell Exercises?
I **JUST** started working out with a barbell--squats, deadlifts, push press--and I've noticed that the next day after a work out, my neck is really tense. A little stiff, but not like an injury, more like how you feel after driving all day. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before and whether there is…

How can you get your child to exercise? WILLINGLY
Unsurprisingly with the advent of phone technology, less and less kids are interested in physical fitness. And it's not uncommon that kids that are inactive become adults that are inactive. And of course many on here know that physical inactivity is one of the main reasons for weight gain along with overconsumption of…

Back to running after a big weight gain.
Hello everyone and hope your fitness journeys are going really well? I gained 6 stone after giving up running and I went back to overeating again. I weight 16.5 stone and have an arthritic right knee. Ideally I would like to start running again but am unsure as my weight will be a barrier. I am a keen walker and swimmer…

Intervals for higher calorie burns
When I'm in any gym, I'll always see many cardio enthusiasts just doing steady state cardio. Part of why I hate steady state cardio on a machine is that it gets really boring just doing the same thing for 30 minutes to an hour. Which BTW for any cardio only people here, the "fat burning zone" is a waste of time to stay in.…

Any rock climbers on MyFitnessPal?
Hi! My fitness goals currently are revolving around improving my rock climbing. I'd like to lose some weight as a part of that (~30-40 lbs?) since I'm a bit overweight and obviously weighing less would be an advantage in moving up a rock wall. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to connect with other rock climbers with…

Garmin, what did you smoke?!?
My physio gave me some rather strenuous exercises for shoulder and upper back today next to some slow lat pulldowns and rows. The most difficult for me were mountain climbers. Yeah, I am deconditioned after 8 months of doing very little. Garmin counted the whole workout as anaerobic capacity (I guess the interval nature of…

Bellabeat Leaf?
Has anyone gotten this yet? I need a hrm and like the idea of being able to just clip it on rather than have a wristband watch. It's not an investment I take lightly though, so I was hoping for some real person feedback. :) thanks!

Active Athlete Body Well-Being
I am curious. What do those out there that train hard each and every day - run/weights for 2-3 hours (or more) a day - do for muscle/all-over body fatigue. Do you go to regular sports massages? Foam rollers? Heat therapy?

MyFitness Pal subtracting calories after swimming
I use a Garmin to track exercise. When I swim in a 50 meter pool, MFP subtracts calories. However, when I swim the same distance in a 25 meter pool, MFP seems to accurately display calories burned. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems pretty unusual.

Best exercise equipment for the home?
I'm eyeing the ProForm website and they have pretty good deals at the moment. However, I'm not sure which machine would be the best and most practical. I would love a treadmill, but I'm sort of nervous about the size of it, and I have a feeling they would break. Is this true? What do you guys think about fitness mirrors or…
