Nordic Track Treadmill - ifit?
Looking at a Nordictrack 1750 treadmill but not sure I want to commit to a monthly subscription for iFit. Does anyone have a Nordictrack and just use the programs that come preloaded? If so, what kinds of things do you get with it?

Garmin watch for tracking?
Hi everyone, I have been considering getting a Garmin watch to replace my fitbit bit but I have a couple questions. If you have a garmin watch, how has it been for tracking your running and other fitness activities? Have you had issues connecting it to my fitness pal? How has your watch held up? I am a heavy equipment…

Best c25k?
I've recently started running again. It's been a while and although I've been going to the gym doing weights, I haven't done decent cardio for ages (foot, achilles, toe issues). So now I'm able, I decided to do couch 2 5k. I downloaded the British NHS one which has data fields and I can use it with my garmin. However, I've…

Feeling Sick During Floor Exercises
It's hard for me to do any floor exercise without feeling incredibly sick. I would love to do Pilates, even attempted yesterday, but I got too sick. I feel fine with cardio and weights, but for some reason, once I'm moving around on the floor, I get nauseous. Can anyone else relate? If so, how did you overcome this?

Any other bone on bone arthritis suffers
About 2.5 years ago I woke up and my knees were so bad - on the past a few sore days but they quickly got so bad I swore I tore something. Nope went to an orthopedic Dr and he asked how I've been managing - they were bone on bone - on warfin for heart valve so not a great replacement candidate. Looking for others to share…

Vertical Climber, Anyone?
Does anyone have feedback or experience using a vertical climber like the MaxiClimber? Looks like a hard workout, and wondering if maybe this is why there aren't a lot of people talking about them? Thoughts? Experience? Results?

Alternatives to sugar hit for workout?
I personally find my life is better when I avoid sugar. But it provides a really nice hit to fuel a workout. I definitely notice better performance when I eat a sweetened snack before working out. But I don’t like the other effects on me! Any suggestions? My ideas: - just quit eating sugar and deal with whatever level I…

Body measurements
Hey all I’m still getting used to figuring out all that is included in this app. I’m not seeing anywhere that I can track body measurements like inches lost/gained.. is there a place to do that in MFP? If not, does anyone have a good suggestion on an app you use to measure your progress? I love having more than one visual…

I was doing other group classes as well but I am sticking with that one. I just added the treadmill with a 4.0 incline and a 2.0 speed…

Running: Does speed impact calories burned?
I know this topic exists in other spots, but I wanted to add a wrinkle. From a physics perspective, Work = Force x Distance. So moving a 120 kg object 5km is the same amount of work, whether it's done in a minute or an hour. To that end, you'd imagine that someone walking 3 miles would burn the same calories as someone…

Hip/thigh stretches for runners? Or exercises?
After a few years of running with zero stretching (yes, bad, I know :tongue: ) I'm starting to get some minor complaints. Not while running, but in daily life. My hips can be a bit stiff (especially my right side) and my range of motion is quite poor. My squat depth is ludicrous without propping my heels up. Butterfly pose…

Ladies Who Run Walk or Cycle
If your local police department or college offer the RAD series of classes, please consider signing up. RAD stands for Rape/Agression/Defense, and is a standardized 12 hour course, taught as either two or four sessions. I’ve only done the first class and it’s been outstanding. The only other defensive class I’ve done was a…

Damn plantar fasciitis
For runners out there who've had it, what shoes have you purchased that helped to alleviate it? The shoes I have are good, but since I've upped my game in intervals (running up to 10mph), it's caused an issue. When I ran under 10mph, I didn't have much of an issue. Once it's totally subsided, I plan to do intervals again…

Does it matter if you start the week with upper or lower?
I do a 4 day upper/lower split. I normally start the week with heavy legs then arms next day. I read somewhere you should do heavier days towards end of week to recover? My arms tend to get tired on lower days (short girl probs) so wondering if I should flip it, and start the week with bench press/upper day then "heavier"…

Plantar fasciitis
When not in the mountains skiing (my primary sport) my main cardio training is running. I run in “proper” running shoes and change them out every 5-700km. My current shoes have 300 and <100km on them (2 pairs). My usual mileage (sorry mixed units coming) is of the order of 15-20km per week. Over the summer, somehow I would…

Scapular winging: strengthening exercise
So yeah, you probably know I had a bad shoulder accident. Things are getting better. One thing still not ok is strength around the scapular on one side: there's winging, it's a bit too far away from the spine and when lifting up the arm the shoulder still rolls a bit to the front. And that reduces strength in that arm. I…

Damn you, 2022
Just a quick note because I'm super frustrated. I really wanted to run 300km from October to end of December. Things didn't look good due to being sick a few times too often but hey, there was still a chance this might happen. Last week Monday I had a wonderful and surprisingly fast run. Thought I might get a year best and…

Virtual Walking Tours
I thought I would try one of those virtual walking tours to keep me motivated. As motivation, it is working far better than I even anticipated. I'm 15 miles away from finishing a 145 mile walking tour. I thought I would share that it is something that is working for me. I'm doing one based on fantasy novels that I read as…

Body recomposition
Hi I’m New to MyFitnessPal! I recently discovered weight lifting about 2 years ago shortly after I lost 20 pounds, and I fell in love 😅 it’s seriously the best. I tend to shift slightly towards body building, only because I realized how much muscles can shape your body. It’s crazy!! I’m currently on a cut right now, trying…

Is it good to do cardio everyday if you want to eat more?
I have a desire to walk 10,000+ steps per day so I can eat more. Or swim, or use the elliptical. Someone I know has taken a different approach and does weight training a few times a week so they have more muscle and burn more calories during the day. I feel like doing both is better, but the cardio makes more sense for…
