Old Fitness App/Apps that connect similar fitness goals.

Creatine: when to take it?
Was suggested by a few to take this creatine as it was reviewed well and such. Question is, before, there used to be a loading phase and whatever phase. Now I hear that some just take it anytime during the day and just do your workout. What is the right method for taking creatine? Anytime during the day of your workout,…

Interpreting Fit3D scans
Recently my gym got a Fit3D scanner as part of the free health assessments for members.

Help with weekly workout plan?
I’ve done research and think I am getting confused by semantics. I like “exercising” every day with a goal of losing some fat and gaining some muscle - I’m about 10 pounds from a goal weight of 120 and I’m 57. I am trying to find the best way to do this re: exercise, as I have my nutrition strategy set. Currently, my menu…

I went through this once before menopause. I quit smoking, and suddenly that wound up metabolism I enjoyed my whole life vanished. I started using my fitness pal to track my macros and exercise, hired a trainer, and went at it. I lost 30 lbs, then discovered powerlifting. I started competing and was hooked. Then covid…

Mixing cardio bursts and lifting weights - your experience?
In an effort to maximize time but also maximize my training, I've started adding short "cardio" bursts between my lift sets. At this point I'm keeping it simple and trying to do things that won't have too much effect on my lifting - so x# of jumping jacks, jump rope, etc. I'm building up into it, as I just started doing…

Cardio and Weights training split
Just looking for opinions from those more in the know than me. I've reached my weighloss goals (71lb off) using a mixture of cardio and weight training.

Cycling for fun, fitness and happiness
I started cycling to stay in shape and commute. I am pretty lucky that my house is right near a dedicated trailhead that goes almost the entire way to work. I get to exercise instead of sitting in my car. I'm in the US so it's pretty rare to have such a great cycling commute. Lately I've been getting more interested in…

Apple Watch - Doesn't sync HIIT exercises?
Has anybody else tried a HIIT workout through the new Apple Watch? I did 4 exercises yesterday and only 3 synced across, HIIT was the only one that did not.

My neighbor bought six, and gave me three. Bear and Pixie have been wearing them for more than a month, the kittens use them more sporadically.
