Hula hoop - aerobic exercise?
For Reasons, I’m trying to figure out a replacement for the treadmill starting in the fall. I saw hula hooping as a suggestion somewhere. Is that really an adequate aerobic exercise?

Low-impact cardio without equipment
Hey, everyone! For the last several months, I've been addicted to doing high-intensity exercise in the morning when I get up (mostly to keep my anxiety at bay).

Apple Watch Calorie Adjustment + Exercise Calories
I am lost on how to set up my apple watch to MyFitnessPal to optimize the accuracy of the calories I get. I move a lot because of my job and I usually do around 2 hours of intentional walking a day.

Activity data from apple watch
I really don’t understand if I have an Apple Watch that reports all of my movement data, why does MyFitnessPal have those generic activity levels that affect my remaining calories instead of just pulling it off from Apple Watch and having an exact measure instead of taking a guess. I know it’s possible lots of other apps,…

A question about shoes...
So I have the Skechers with memory foam, I've always thought they were super comfortable. Well since I've been doing 10 to 15,000 steps a day, my heels are killing me.

Hello! I've always struggled to push myself to do a workout after work, so on Monday I decided to try in the morning. I got up about 10 to 20 minutes earlier, nothing crazy, and did a 30 minute workout (21 day fix) after having my coffee, so i had been up at least 45 minutes by then.
