Forward head posture
I do several "assessments" a week on people and the biggest trends I'm noticing (along with so many being overweight) is FORWARD HEAD POSTURE. It's a rounding of shoulders and the head protruding forward and for some causing neck pain and possible headaches. A lot of it is contributed to work on computers all day, bad…

Walking in place to make sure I get 10,000 steps!
Been doing this for 3 weeks and maybe a little treadmill. Easier on body and feet for sure. Fitbit alerts me as my heart rate goes up. Anyone else doing this? I beg you to try it!!

My feet are hurting on the treadmill!
So, I walked a mile yesterday and a mile today (I know that isn’t much, but I started at 300lbs and haven’t exercised in a while) and I tried two different pairs of shoes, but my feet and ankles end up hurting so bad. My legs are fine and I could keep them moving if my feet didn’t feel so broken. Is this just because I’m…

Will my Apple Watch do this? Body pump
I’ve started to attend Les Mills body pump sessions at my local leisure centre. I’ve not had my Apple Watch long I only really use it to track my steps. Will it tell me how many calories I’ve burned during my body pump session? Using my own weight and height ect not a generic calorie burn? Thanks

Is it bad to just do a couple focus muscle lifts?
I haven't been able to find a gym I like around me and as a result, I haven't lifted weights in a long time. Would it be a bad idea to buy a pair of 15 lb dumbbells and just do bicep curls, shoulder lifts, and similar, without doing the other large muscle group workouts? I'm not necessarily looking for the "most efficient"…

Stronglifts app alternative?
I trialled the Stronglifts app. I liked it a lot and would have happily paid for it. Unfortunately, $40/year is honestly too steep for me. Anyone know of a good alternative? One feature I liked was that it wrote my workout to my Apple Health/Fitness app. I often don’t make my Move goal on lift days (no Watch), it’s nice to…

Back at it after a while

I am taking my son and his troop to SeaBase high adventure…

post-exercise hunger

Daily steps and calories burnt

On Tuesday I did 15500 steps and burnt 730 calories and today I did 13000 steps but burnt a whopping 1050 calories. I’ve got a Garmin tracker. Any idea why they vary so much? Both were just days at work not doing any additional…

How Far Can You Run?
What is the furthest distance you have ever run without stopping? One day when i was in the army, the commander had a wild hair up his *kitten* for some reason and made us run 10 miles that morning. We only ever ran 4 or 6 miles in that unit, and about 2 thirds of the soldiers did not make that distance. I was one of the…
