Why does Strength Exercises seem to have no impact on Calorie intake? Only Cardio?
I notice when I put in my strength exercise routine in that it has no impact on anything and doesn't seem to be logged anywhere other than what the exercise is? Is there any point in going through this exercise when only cardio seems to have any impact?

Cardio & Weights - help me be efficient!
Question: I'm always reading about (and seeing videos) about how its all about the lifting (more so than cardio), but when I prioritize weights, I really don't see a lot of movement on the scale (and I have at least 20 but more ideally 40 lbs to lose). Any advice on the most productive use of time in the gym? (I can put in…

What size yoga ball do I get?
I’ve read that based on my height (5’4), I should get a medium (55 cm) yoga ball, but I’m really heavy for my height and feel like I will squish the ball flat. Would I need to move up a size (large ball - 65 cm)? Physical Therapists, trainers and fitness experts, please help 💛

So, I finally trained abs
Yeah, yeah, I know, I should have been doing that all along. Anyway, to quote David Bowie: This is ground control to Major Doms You've really made the grade I haven't had doms like this in years! The moral of the story? Never train abs! :)

What to do after 30 day shred?
For someone who hasn't been exercising or walking much for years, I recently got back into it and started with something familiar, 30 day shred. I look forward to exercising now, even though it's a short while but as Jillian says, make those 20 minutes count. I loved level 2, okay about level 2, just started level 3 and…

Walking 10k steps a day is amazing!
I'm new to this app just a few weeks ago and I just want to tell to my curvy and big girlies out there, if you feel anxious going to the gym. Just start walking today! Yep! I can't believe that by walking can help you shed off that weight. Don't think about those fitness places, subscriptions or equipment. Just go out…

Does anyone have an accurate calorie burn for practicing karate?
Hello, I am just getting back into this community for like the 100th time. I've been taking karate for over a year now and I've been averaging 9 hrs a week of practice. It's not all performed at the highest intensity, but I do work up quite a sweat in most classes. Does anyone have a more accurate source for how many…

Any Peloton App Users?
I started when they raised the free-trial to 30 days vs. the week it used to be. I wish I had gotten the 90-day they gave during the start of COVID. But I LOVE the app. Any others? Favorite rides/instructors? I love Denis Morton - it is fun to ride with Emma Lovewell and Cody Rigsby too.

Anyone have suggestions on how to log rebounder or mini trampoline exercise?
I just bought one for at home and I have been doing it twice a day for 10 minutes each. It's a great cardio workout. I highly recommend it. Not too expensive to purchase and fits easily in my home. Sometimes I take it outside on my patio and enjoy the fresh air while jumping. I just have no idea how to track it. I kind of…

High reps or low reps for fat loss/body comp
I’ve recently lost 30lbs and am now in the “skinny fat” stage. I’m looking to gain more muscle and really just toning up without adding mass or looking bigger. I’ve seen mixed reviews on the debate between high reps/low weight and low reps/high weight. I’m thinking low weight/high reps mixed with some HITT and steady state…
