Is it weird DOMS or something else?
I've been having some new and unusual (for me) pains during and post-workouts for the past couple of weeks and am a little puzzled. I've been lifting weights consistently twice a week (with a couple short breaks for travel) for the past nine months (plus walking a couple other days a week). I've had the occasional bout of…

Contemplating yoga teacher training
I’ve been doing yoga on and off since 2012-ish. For the first couple of years I had a consistent (6 days a week) mysore style ahstanga practice. I’ve rekindled it a couple of times since and have also done bouts of YouTube yoga (mainly yoga with adriene), gone to aerial yoga classes and some gym based vinyasa classes. The…

Activity Suggestions for Obese
I’m starting my weight loss journey after coming to terms with my size. I currently weigh 272 pounds and am 5’7”, so quite obese. I never considered myself exceptionally out of shape or unathletic, and I’m still quite young (early 20s), but I started avoiding physical activity as I gained weight. So I guess I don’t know…

Exercise Intolerance
I'm sure this will be a controversial topic. Does anyone else have it? I've suspected for years that I have it and recent events have stoked my suspicions even more. I've always walked a lot (an hour or more per day) with no ill effects. But every time I try to do anything more intense than that, I end up having some…

Building Strength, Loosing Belly
I am very active and in good health. I am "skinny fat". I workout every morning before work. I am have cut calories, and portion sizes. Still can't get my belly trimmed down. My Strength is going up nicely. Just need to keep moving along. It just seems disheartening. Any ideas?

Steps calories always ZERO
I have messed around so much with this and tried enabling and disabling everything. I've turned off the steps, synced, and tried again. Yet today finally I realized it tracks my steps but will not give me calories burned. I haven't inputed any other exercise. I'm walking only. Why?

Isolation Exercise Imbalance
I'm at a point where when doing bent over dumbbell rows my right side is stronger than my left. I could probably add more weight to the right side, but the left is near failure on the last one or two reps. I am not sure how to continue. Should I keep the weight the same until my left side catches up, or just keep adding…

Elliptical, Miles, and Heartrate
My primary means of cardio is walking and running on the elliptical, and I’m a little perturbed about what I’m seeing on the elliptical. Most days I’ll hop on the elliptical at the gym for 30 minutes, and generally get in an estimated 2.25 miles (by the machine’s calculations), giving me an embarrassingly slow 13 minute…

What exercise
Hi all My job is normally sat at a desk so my activity level is sendatry. I went on a manual handling course for two days and it had a lot of physical exercises, which in exercise terms involved squatting, pulling a weight, sitting up from a laying down position. Each day was a 8 hour day, so easily a good 2/3 hours of…

Cross posted: Bradycardia
Does anybody else deal with this issue? I went for my physical a few days ago and my pulse was 40. I'm an almost 53 year old woman, at a healthy weight, and a runner. It still seems very slow to me.

Newbie Weight Lifter at Age 49
In October 2023 I went to the Dr. for my annual biometric exam. Basically, I was/am overweight, I had high glucose with possible insulin resistance and high bad cholesterol. I was given a list of to-dos by my Dr. who scheduled more blood work for 6 months later. I decided I would start eating right and exercising. Full…

Deltoid exercises (if you can't lift up your arms and are weak)
So yeah. My deltoid is shot due to having fractured my proximal humerus. I'm allowed to do everything as long as it doesn't hurt. Obviously I still have physio, but we're currently trying to figure out what causes problems and what doesn't. Bone is stable. But I can't lift up my arm 180 degrees non-passively due to having…

MFP is duplicating my daily exercise over and over on my diary (android) MFP app

They were playing nice on my LG V60 and now MFP is taking in 152 calorie exercise duplicating the exercise individually to where I'm up to over 1k calories on my diary. I delete the extras out and they just come back. I've uninstalled both…

Mph or kph
I’ve got a Roger Black treadmill and I can’t find the instructions. I walked uphill (8%) for 20 mins (briskly) and it said distance= 1. Would that be a mile? Also, the calories say 23.3 is that 233 cals? I know that you have to factor in weight/ height of person exercising but I’m after a rough guide. Thanks

Fitness tracker/ watch under $50?
Hello! I'm looking for a fitness tracking watch. I've seen many on amazon or walmart etc for $35 or similar with pretty good reviews. I don't need a fancy one because I don't really care about using my watch as a phone or anything like that, thought they claim to be able to. I just care about basics, steps, heart rate,…

Home Gym Equipment Recommendation
Hi Community: I'm looking to buy a power rack for my new basement exercise area. But in browsing Amazon, the selection is kind of bewildering.

NEAT Thread?
Good morning all! There's a great thread somewhere where everyone posts their NEAT tips. It's 100's of pages long and I thought I'd bookmarked it but apparently not. :( I've tried searching but only finding inactive threads at the moment. If anyone has it handy I'd be most appreciative. :-) Thanks! And have a great day!! I…
