-take glucosamine RSP supplement
-wear awesome running shoes
Anything I'm missing here that could help with knee pain???
Are you using flat shoes (e.g.: squat shoes) for your squats and other weight lifting? Running shoes (unless zero-drop) will change your geometry a little putting some extra force forward, which may be felt in your knee, and the extra cushioning from a running shoe can provide some odd foot rolling which may also load the knees with some odd dynamics. Just a thought...
No! I'm not! I never thought of that. I hadn't want to invest in Nanos or other lifting shoes bc I thought they'd do more harm than good. I never thought of that. And yes....my feet do shift inside my shoes during lifts.
Thank you so much! I knew someone on here would have some wisdom.
Good advice, I use solid heel lifting shoes for squats and go shoeless or use flats (converse Chucks) for deadlifts. I also need to allow more recovery time if going over 70% of my 1RM max for reps. I go 14 days between heavy lifts (4-5 sets of 3 or 4 reps) on a joint. I'm 53 though. between I will do a similar movement but keep the reps in the 12-15 range. Good Luck!0 -
Glad I have found my age group I'm too near to 50 and a complete newbie to weight training, but love it! Once I'm stronger I would like to get into cycling and join a group next year. Be great to buddy up with a beginner too. I'm in Liverpool and happy to add with anyone close by4

Decided to indulge last night during date night with my husband. I finally tracked the meal, and nearly passed out! Not gonna do that again!
Biggest thing there was the dinner rolls. Did you actually have 4, or did you just enter a portion size not realizing what it consisted of?0 -

Sadly I actually had 4. We had a 30 minute wait, and food service was pretty slow (the place was insanely busy). I was famished and I decided that I was going to have a straight up free meal. (Wasn't going to track it; had a change of heart the next day.) I was already pretty full by the time our salads arrived, but I still ate it. When our steaks came, I was so stuffed, I only had a couple bites and took the rest to go.
Lesson learned. I'm going to pre-track date night dinners from now on. I don't mind going over target once in a great while, but only by a bit, not 1500 calories!1 -

Hi Marie
if you want to start or get back into cycling try Breeze Rides https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/recreation/article/20141110-Breeze-bike-rides-for-women-0
to search for a ride make sure you click women only on the search options - there may well be a facebook page or group for your local area too. We've got a quite active group here where many women have made contacts and often go out on rides together that are not organised. Be warned a coffee and cake stop is often a part of the agenda :-) but once you start getting some miles that is no problem anyway and no-one minds if you don't part-take in the cake eating.
If you struggle getting started or want some advice please don't hesitate to contact me :-)

Hello all i'm 4,1 i'm 4 months in to a total body transformation0

I am 40. I am 3 months in my fitness journey and hit a plateau. I'm looking for people to keep each other motivated. I would like to lose 50 pounds, build muscle, and just feel better all around as a lifestyle!1

Its great seeing so many active people here.
Tuesdays are double session days for me. HIIT session with trainer done this morning. Tonight's track workout will be a couple mile warm up, then four miles of fun. Sixteen continuous 400s, alternating back and forth between 5k threshold pace and marathon pace, followed by a mile cool down.
I'm starting to think that training for a winter marathon was not my brightest idea.4 -

Almost 44 here (birthday is at the end of the month), mother of 3 (24, 22, 9, all girls) and as of Sunday night a grandmother of one boy! I've started C25K, planning to take up climbing at a nearby climbing gym in the new year (a friend is already a member there and can show me the ropes - pun totally intended), and I want to climb Snowden next August. :-)4

Good morning middle agers.
Got a 5 1/2 mile run / walk in last night. Tough go as we got a fair bit of snow. It was like running in sand.3
