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…

Burn Boot Camp
Hi Everyone! I'm recently back on my health journey and started going to a place called Burn Boot Camp. Essentially it's like a HIIT class that focuses on different areas every day. Just wondering if anyone else is a member and your thoughts!

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…

Calorie deficit and exercise
I am eating my BMR minus 500 calories. I have started to become more active. Yesterday I burned 800 calories swimming for an hour. Would I then increase my calorie consumption on the days I am more active? SW 330lbs CW 311lbs

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…

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
