Frustrated about lack of progress in exercise
For the past 3 years I have been diligently doing calisthenics for 50 mins a day, 5-6 days a week. I have seen some improvement in my muscle tone, but not much. I am feeling frustrated. Nowadays, when I begin exercising my mind says to me, "forget it. You are never going to improve. Don't even try." Its really…

Stupid question alert!
If I use my exercise bike for 30 minutes in one shot and then another 30 minutes sometime later, are the calorie benefits the same? I get that I won't gain as many endurance benefits, but are there any calorie differences? As I type this, I'm thinking it really is a stupid question, but there you are. Happy Sunday.

Just started working out, should I increase my calories?
I eat about 1300-1500 a day. I've lost about 85 pounds in the last year doing so, but I'm still about 280 pounds. In the last few weeks, I've started working out. I went from being basically sedentary, to walking 1-2 additional miles a day, and doing 40+ minuets of HIT 5 days week, with a focus on weights and resistance.…

A good App for counting calories when using a Heart Rate Monitor
Can anyone recommend an App that calculates calorie burn that uses your HRM data for more accuracy? I am finding that the apps I have tried, like MapMyFitness are only using static calories per minute and do not factor in the intensity.

Anyone here who understands VO2max and it's pitfalls?
Ok, VO2max is an estimate of the total oxygen consumption during physical exertion. In a lab setting it's a number calculated somehow from ventilation and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration of the inhaled and exhaled air. If I understand this correctly, if there's one part of this not working properly, be it…

Floor Workouts
Best kind of workouts which involve medicine balls/ kettle bells for core and arms? But not using weight machines. Struggling to find a routine which can target these areas, but hopefully not put too much strain on my stomach (still healing from a C-section, been nearly a year but I still get pain from heavy lifting).

Monitoring food eaten, hunger, walking, weight loss
My primary use of MFP is to monitor the intake of total fat, protein, and carbohydrates as a percentage of total calories, goals being 60% animal fat, 30% protein and 10% carbohydrates. Zero carbohydrates are okay, as there is no nutritional need for carbohydrates. After 30 days following these goals, I have almost no…
