Great day! What is a Bowflex Max?
It’s a cardio machine that’s kind of a mix between a stair machine and an elliptical. It gives me a great workout and I really like having it.0 -

Good luck with your search for a new family fitness center. Hope you LOVE it, and that your kiddos will too. What great memories and habits you would be building in addition to the perks for you and your fitness journey. I love to swim too, just wish I were more efficient at it. It's such great exercise for the whole body!0 -

Thanks for the list of members, @beka3695! I can't wait to "meet" each of our members here in our discussion board. I invite everyone to take a minute to introduce yourselves to the group. To make it easier to find us, scroll up to the top of this page where it says DOWNSIZERS 2020 January Chat (just underneath the huge Fat2Fit Logo) and you'll see a star over to the right. If you click on that, it marks this chat as a "favorite" and makes it much easier to return to this page. On my computer, there's a tab at the top that says Community. Click that, then you'll see, over to the right, a bell for notifications and another star. When you click that star, this chat will be listed. Then you can just click on the title and you'll be here! On my iPhone, I have to click the three dots at the bottom that say "More" to find the Community folder. Then the star is in the bar at the top. Hope this helps. Look forward to seeing you!3 -

Thank you!! I used to swim competitively but it’s been years. My Daughter recent joined a team and it has inspired me to get back in the pool. I don’t want to join a team but it’s such a great workout and non impact. Don’t worry about being efficient, if anything I would suggest focusing on your stroke technique. The better you are the more effective your workout will be. You can go slow and you will feel each muscle engaging.
This place we are looking at also has indoor rock climbing which my youngest has been wanting to do, so I am feeling good about it, but we want to see it in person first before joining.3 -
Wishing everyone on this team a great day!! Good luck with your goals for today!!4

Thanks for the helpful navigation of the website and app!! I am still sorting out where and how to find things
Have a great day everyone!3 -

Saturday check in
Calories are probably good. Lots of salad and three alarm cheese.
Coffee. Well today was a really good coffee day.
Exercise not so much.
Plans for tomorrow. Move about the place after church or jiggle. Jiggling burns calories and it's fun.2 -
I'm still having problems with app. It's not letting me add people. So if you read my posts and think to yourself " hey that guy is awesome I wish I was his friend" send a request. Or if you read my post and think " oh Lord he needs help" send a request and let's start with MFP therapy. Lol
I'll be honest if I could add you all I would. I've tried but all that happens is my screen darkens and then buffers.
Welp have a blessed night.2 -
