For me, it came down to a very close battle between the VA3 and the Ionic. Honestly, probably the biggest reason I chose the Garmin is because I thought the Fitbit looked terrible. I mean aesthetically. My Android watch was square, and I wanted a round watch. Plus, with the Garmin accepting standard bands (of 20mm), I can…

I have a Vivoactive 3. Prior to that, I had an Android Wear for 1.5 years, before that a Pebble for a year or so, and before that a Fitbit Flex. The Android Wear is definitely a great smart watch (not an Apple guy here). I decided, however, that I wanted a watch with some more fitness chops, and an ecosystem that's better…

I agree with the comments above regarding a great workout, practical real-world defense, and learning something very valuable while exercising. The only thing I would add is that you should thoroughly research the Krav gym. When Krav is taught in proper form and intensity, it is fantastic. However, based on what I've read…

Intervals are probably best as you guys say, but here's another one I enjoy (when it's over): a deck of cards workout. There are smartphone apps that make this easy, but the idea is you start with a deck of cards, assign an exercise to each suit, then turn them over one-by-one doing the number of reps of the exercise…

Hey, it's my birthday on Sunday, too! Happy Birthday! I'm also low carb (not all the way to keto) and an IPA snob. Which pretty much means I'm not drinking any IPA's right now. The reddit list linked above looks pretty good. Not a lot of what I'd call top of the line IPAs, but there is one jewel in there: Bell's Two…

With regard to the first paragraph, if your gym has a hex bar, you might give it a try as it creates more space and the bar doesn't have to go around the knees. Though I guess that wouldn't necessarily solve the issue of squatting instead of pushing the hips back, it does (in my opinion) make it easier to keep the weight…

With an iPad and Amazon Prime, you can download a lot of shows and movies. See the first topic in the Amazon help section about getting the Amazon Video app on your iPad, then the topic further down on downloading content. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_mob_bc_nav?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201422750

I'm not necessarily saying it's the best smart watch for you, but also consider a Pebble watch. I just in the last few days ditched my Fitbit flex in favor of using the Misfit Pebble and Android apps, which sync directly to MFP just like Fitbit. My experience is that Misfit does create a slightly higher step count,…

I used to do it on paper, but I travel a good bit and it's nice to have all my info on my phone, or just know I only need my phone when heading wherever. It's also nice to devise workouts wherever I'm at. -Fitness Point Pro to track lifting logs. -Sworkit Pro for ab specific and also interval cardio. -Deck of Cards workout…

A push pull is generally also combined with legs to make a three day or three workout split. It's usually a more intermediate to advanced lifting split as you're looking at several sets for each muscle group. As in multiple sets for chest, multiple sets for shoulders, and multiple sets for triceps on push day. So, do you…

I had a diagnosed meniscus tear and knee scope some time ago, probably close to 10 years ago. I'm not normally one for obtaining medical advice from the internet, but I think it's fair to read about it if you keep in mind that what I say is my experience and it's particular to me. Your case could quite likely be different,…

I googled CKO and see they have a free trial class. Why not go and try and inquire on pricing? Burning 1,000 calories in an hour is a pretty tall order, but I believe kickboxing is a pretty good way to get there if it's pretty close to non-stop intense. I've trained Krav Maga for the past three years, which, at my gym,…
