Exercise

Hi! I'm a new member!
Hi! I'm Logan, and I was a runner throughout middle and high school. Since graduation, I have made the mistake of not continuing my health and fitness journey. I am now 21 and 50 pounds heavier than where I want to be at before starting to gain some muscle again. I was just in a pretty scary car accident last week where…
New Beginning
Taking it a day at the time, doing my best to be more active and eat clean. Keeping myself focused by picturing myself in my goal weight and keep working very har towards my goals, I know it will not be easy but I won’t give up I’ll give it my all and that’s mostly why I’ve joined this app/community today!
Adding custom exercises to MyFitnessPal
Is there a way to add custom exercises to my workout routine (MyFitnessPal database)? For example, I want to add ‘Barbell Floor Wipers’ but it isn’t in the database and so I wanted to add it myself but can’t seem to find how to and so my workout routine is inaccurate when I log it at the minute. I’m on the latest update of…
Scarily High HR?
Does anyone else have the issue where their heart rate is way to high for their age when exercising? To preface, I've lost a lot of weight and I am only 7lbs away from an 'ideal' BMI for my height. I don't like cardio because my heart rate is always too high, I only warm up with 5 minutes of cardio before proceeding onto…
Open to connect with all fitness enthusiasts
I think this is my first time posting something here. I'm Basit, a 35 year old male using Fitness Pal for the last 6,7 years but using regularly only for the last 1 year or so. I work at the stock exchange as digital media specialist and corporate trainer. I'm 6 feet 4, weighing 97 KG, just came out of a car accident…
Swimming calories not adding
When I am logging calories burned from swimming (tracked on a Fitbit) it deducts from the calorie adjustment but does not add to my exercise total. Where am I going wrong?
Virtual reality fitness
Hi all. So I've now spent a month playing beat saber again. I'm getting about an hour a day in. It really gets you sweating so much. I use to go to the gym and I have to say for me it's better than the gym because I'm having fun whilst exercising. Ive also been playing FitXR which is a dance, boxing or HIIT workout game…
REACH ONE GOAL - 15 mins daily - 100 days. Start April 15.
100 days is enough time to see a real difference. Set ONE goal, spend 15 mins daily. Examples: - Buns of Steel. - Master the L-Sit. - Master the splits. - Abs or 6-pack. - Do your first chin-up. Or first 10 consecutive chin-ups. This doesn’t mean you’re not doing the rest of your fitness programme. It just means that…
How many exercises per session?
I've been doing this 4 day upper/lower split (see images), but some say you just need to go hard for 4 excercises? What do y'all think? If it's not broke don't fix it?
A Post For Anyone Who is Just Starting Out.
For anyone who is just starting their weight loss journey, I’d like to share this with you. I wish I would’ve seen this in the beginning of mine. One year ago, I made this post on MyFitnessPal looking for advice: “Hello everyone! I just joined my fitness pal today after my other efforts have not been working. However, I am…

How much of extra calories earned should I eat?
So historically when trying to lose weight I would not adjust food intake to take into account exercise. Now I am trying to change my relationship with food, to not use food as a stress reliever and to really understand healthy eating with weight loss being a very handy by-product of that. Added bonus that if I can retrain…

Looking for 40s motivation
I have been athletic most of my life. Over the last few years (and especially during Covid) my activity has decreased and my weight has increased. I am looking to lose 50 pounds and gain some muscle. I have used mfp off and on for about 7 years inconsistently but I feel a real effort now needs to be put in since it is not…
Reassurance and Motivation
I’m 5’7”, 272 pounds, and in my early 20s. I know I need to lose weight, and have spent this week coming to terms with my size and making diet and exercise plans. I purchased a food scale, got an eating journal, and got a gym membership. Touring the gym and signing up was intimidating, and I went for the first time today…
Newbie!
Hey everyone! Brand new to the app, feel free to send tips on how to use it. I’m trying to get back in fighting shape.
Change the name of a recorded exercise?
I started doing morning runs again after a hiatus of a couple years, and after a couple weeks I went into my tracking apps (Fitbit and MFP) to double-check everything was being recorded properly, and to my irritation, my AM run, which takes me on a circuit of about 2.5 miles through the Phoenix downtown corridor, is being…

Dealing with weight gain
I’ve lost quite a bit of weight since I’ve started my journey but recently I’ve gained some back. I’ve been strength training so I try to blame some of it on muscle gains but due to some recent changes in my life I’ve been putting off my workouts. I want to get back to it. I would input every calorie almost obsessively…
