Do you enjoy certain excercises more than others?
For example, I love OVH press and curls but dread bench press lol. Or deadlifts over sqauts! I also look forward to specific days. I can't tell if it's motivation or the exercise itself.🤣

MyFitnessPlus adds calories burned from cardio to my goal; so why do cardio?
Please don't read my question as snide. It's an honest question. MyFitnessPal begins the day by setting my daily calorie goal at 1,500. That's about 500 less than my average daily calorie requirements (which means I'm losing weight, which is good). But if I add an exercise and burn (let's say) 300 calories, it adds that to…

I have contacted customer service and they refuse to look into the issue because I can't provide them with a specific date as to when it stopped working. I asked them regardless of when it stopped, shouldn't the feature be working…

Best ways to deload?
I currently do a 4 day upper/lower split and wondering how to deload properly. Can I reduce my training days to 2 days, and do some walking or yoga added? Do those 2 lifting days need to be lighter than usual? Reps/sets or weight, or both? Do I have to follow percentages or just cut the weight down or do what feels light?

Just realized how out of shape I am. Yikes.
Long story short, I've been the opposite of active my whole life. I just dont like to move much and I absolutely hate sweating. So I'm pretty much a couch potato. I'm also very overweight & trying to change it. In 2011/2012 i lost 110 lbs purely with changing my diet. No exercise. But I still had at least 70 lbs to lose…

Adding custom exercises to MyFitnessPal
Is there a way to add custom exercises to my workout routine (MyFitnessPal database)? For example, I want to add ‘Barbell Floor Wipers’ but it isn’t in the database and so I wanted to add it myself but can’t seem to find how to and so my workout routine is inaccurate when I log it at the minute. I’m on the latest update of…

Need tips to sneak in exercise
Full disclosure right off the bat: I hide that I workout, watch my food intake, and take protein. Idk. It works for me to play this like a spy for funsies, not having to explain myself to anyone, whatever, shush.

Scarily High HR?
Does anyone else have the issue where their heart rate is way to high for their age when exercising? To preface, I've lost a lot of weight and I am only 7lbs away from an 'ideal' BMI for my height. I don't like cardio because my heart rate is always too high, I only warm up with 5 minutes of cardio before proceeding onto…

building small lean muscle while losing fat?
I've heard you can build muscle while losing fat and I've heard you can't. I'm confused. I've started counting macros to make this work. The last thing I want to do is gain fat. I'm not looking to compete in a competition. I just want more muscle and less fat.

Accountability or Challenge Group?
Hey!! I’m needing to get myself back into working out more consistently and eating well. I’ve gained back ALL OF THE WEIGHT I lost in 2020, which makes me sad. I tend to do best with some type of group where I can post regularly and where others are willing to do the same. Anyone have one I can join? Anyone interested if I…

Calories strength training
For my rehab I'm doing strength training. Of course I need to nourish my body sufficiently, but I also don't want to gain weight. I know strength training doesn't burn a ton of calories, but if you do something everyday it can easily add up. Anyone fancy a guess? Warning: High volume, low weight Pull day: Bendover barbell…

Toes!
My second toes are longer than my big toe, which seems to be my problem. For the past 2 years (since I started exercising properly and regularly) I've basically had no toenails on those two toes...the nails turn black and fall off. Unfortunately the trauma caused by that has begun to be rather painful. My toes will swell…
