Step Count
Hi, I've been using MFP for just about a week now. I've been keeping track of my steps using the Samsung Health app, but I've noticed that it doesn't always appear in MFP. It seems to show up sporadically throughout the day, and it doesn't show up at all under "Progress" when I view my "Step Count". Does anybody have any…

Yoga with Adriene
Just a reminder, her new 2022 30 Day Yoga series starts today. It's called Move. I did the one last year and enjoyed it, but didn't continue regular yoga after mid-February. I'm hoping that I can be more consistent this year.

Exercises in the workplace?
I'm looking for possible ideas for subtle exercises I can do while at work. I read about small things like constant leg bouncing (thank you, ADHD) can burn a few calories if sustained over the course of the day. Another one I thought might be good would be things with my office chair. Would pushing myself back and pulling…

Garmin solar watches & sunburn
I got a Fenix 7 Solar on Monday. I've been playing with it and figuring it out. There's a widget that shows me the solar input to the battery today. It has a graph, and a grand total, in lux hours. Image below. I can't shake the idea that next time I get a sunburn, this should tell me my limit. Whatever number the watch…

This may be of use to some in here. Garmin has a new Varia radar unit, built into a trail light and with a 1080p camera this time. The camera can be always on or off, or it can be triggered by the radar and record whenever there is traffic behind you. Battery life is 6 hours with everything on, the light in solid (not…

Motivation
I was doing really well with my fitness but then I got Covid and a few other things happened and I seem to have lost my love of it and am finding it really hard to get going again. Are there any daily threads for fitness, where people can post what they've done each day to motivate themselves and others. I really do need…

New bike radar has evidence camera
This isn't something I'm personally interested in, since I already have a radar, but may be helpful to some in here. Garmin's new Varia has a 1080p camera built in. It can be always on, always off, or radar activated meaning it will record whenever there's traffic behind you. Worst case battery life is 6 hours, with…

Fitness tracker for overall activity
Hi, I would like a fitness tracker that at the end of the day can just give me a relative gauge of my overall activity. I don't want to have to stop and start every time that I walk somewhere, or distinguish between my regular bike and electric bike or log an activity when I do weight training. What I imagine is that there…

Then I noticed that I should get another tracker that doesn't connect to anything and I did which is called "3d trisport". So now I have 4 things that keep track of…

Weight gain…
I’ve started cycling with my daughter alternating between scooting alongside me and sitting in the trailer. We do about 20 miles a day 2-3 times a week usually over flattish terrain but we also go up a mountain and over the hills if the mood strikes. Since I started doing this my weight loss (53lb so far) has stalled and…

Personal trainer advice
I started lifting weights about 3 years ago at age 42. I got hooked. I got a personal trainer to move from machines to free weights and learned a lot, mostly dumbbell stuff though. However, my trainer wouldn’t show me deadlift and squats due to my age. Said that was a “young man’s game and would lead to back problems” I…

30-40 mins of stationary bike every day
I have recently begun adding 30 minutes of exercising on the stationary bike daily. How much can this help me gain weight if I am consuming around 1600 calories a day? Previously all I did was walk about 20 mins a day. I'm still doing this, just have added the 30 min on the stationary bike. Can go to 50 or 60 mins if…

Not interested - as much - in…

Balancing weight loss and heavy lifting for beginners
Hi, experienced lifters! I'm new to lifting and was hoping you might share some of your hard-earned expertise with me.

My questions all kind of…

It's new Garmin day!! 😁
My Fenix 7 arrived today and I'm in ❤️ all over again. Touch screen is so nice! The maps became so much more useful. They were good to have before, but scrolling went from a royal pita to natural and no drama. Small victories: I can finally do separate profiles for road vs gravel riding and have them tagged appropriately…

Goals Activity Level Setting
I started my journey to lose weight on 8/10/21, starting at 300 lbs and now weigh in at 235 lbs so I have been extremely diligent using MFP. I work in a desk job 5 days/week. Up until recently, I started walking (started in Feb/March timeframe) approx 7,000-12,000 steps per day. Should I change my Activity Level setting?…
