Brooks Runners
Firstly, I aspire to be a runner. Currently I carry too much weight and in an aging body I am overly cautious about joint damage. I danced and played soccer ⚽️ all my youth, went back to play a season around age 45 at my heaviest weight because if I couldn’t move for something I loved I might as well be dead. I lived…

Appetite and stomach upset after hard workouts and training runs + sleep disruption
Hi all! I am struggling to manage the syptoms mentioned in the title here. After training runs (so today for instance my long run was 11 miles) I feel stomach upset to where it’s difficult to eat, sometimes for the full rest of the day.

How do you manage exercise with migraines?
I am wondering how people manage exercising if they suffer from migraines? I’m barely managing just working a job, which makes it really hard to exercise and risk bringing on more migraines. (I know some people say exercise helps migraines, but it does the opposite for me). This is probably a question with no definitive…

Needing Accountability Buddies for Exercising!
Hello everyone, I’ve been using MyFitnessPal for a while now, and I’ve come to the point where I’ve lost enough weight that I feel comfortable enough to go back to the gym to exercise.

Exercise Calories way off
Today is my first day. I reported it to support, but my given to me for steps is way off. I received a reply that they are trying to fix the issue that it has something to do with an app not connecting with Fitbit if I understood this correctly?

I'm starting to exercise more lately, and want to up it to more active things than just walking or hiking, but I'm heavy and not exactly flat, and haven't been able to find a good sports bra. I want to try dance, kickboxing,…

What if your workout...disappears?
I just got back from two weeks recovery where the doctor nixed the exact exercises in my workout routine. But, he didn't say I couldn't run. So, when I got home, I dug up my slightly too big running shoes and pounded out the 5k's. Turns out I think I'm going to miss running. Ever have to just completely improvise a workout…

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…

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…
