In...for a pro tip

I'll give you a pro tip

So what makes a tip a pro? And if it is a pro, do I really want it? Even if it is just the tip?

The level of the user of course

If someone on my list burns 800 calories, I am going to comment on them having a great burn. That's like 17 oreos.

I foresee you posting a topic about burning 1000 cals and still gaining weight... 800 calories is like 12 Oreo cookies dude!!!

Apparently it's a lifter who also runs. We odd lifters will never understand the ways of "real" lifters.

Hey folks, just a tip from a fellow fitness buff. If you really want to be supportive of your friends, make sure you read the comments on their workouts before you write "great workout!" Just because someone burned 800 calories doesn't make it great.

Typically folks will log their exercise, then comment to let folks know how it went. Some examples:

* "I was planning on running 20 miles but bonked at mile 8 and had to take a cab home" is not a "great workout!"
* "I was hoping to ride 50 miles at 20 mph but could only hit 18" is not a "fantastic ride!"
* "I strained my hamstring doing squats" is not an "awesome session!"

In these cases, a more appropriate comment would be something like "hope you feel better soon" or "you'll kill it next time!"

Well I can't even run 8 miles or hit 18mph on a bike, so that would be an awesome workout to me and if someone posts that that's all they did, I'll still tell them it was a great workout. :flowerforyou:

I see we already made the "just the tip" joke... I got nothing. :ohwell:

A small note - body fitness gurus / strength training and ballet dancers on MFP may or may not be able to understand this post and may cause the confusion with cat gifs.

This post is more for Runners and Endurance folks.

What if I have to pause my Jillian Michaels DVDs a bunch of times?

In my opinion, these are all fantastic workouts (except for the strained hamstring), so I am going to say that they are great anyway.

If this burn is from cleaning do I still get cookies and if I do get cookies can I switch out oreos for fudgeos?
