You need to see a therapy before you hurt/injure yourself, if you have trouble forcing yourself to wean off this unreasonable need to exercise. It sounds as much of a exercise addiction as a body image problem. Do you feel like you need to look perfect to feel worthy? I experienced a lighter version of this when a running…

Have you had any pregnancies before? Did you have the belly before pregnancy?

Heavy bag work is mostly cardio; but you can also throw in a couple burpees for the arms chest and back ;)

Eminem! “Till I collapse” is a very appropriate tune for that last push ;)

I’m a runner who’s trying to get into boxing for cross train, perhaps you could give some advice to a boxing beginner too :) Pretty much echo what the poster above said. Here’s a Hal Higdon 10mile training plan for beginner runners. The plan is across 10 weeks, which is typical for a beginner plan. I know you don’t have 10…

1. Cut down on mileage 2. Strength train your lower body. Single leg squats and deadlifts to build stability around the knees 3. Get yourself some KT tape ASAP and use it when you run or weight train 4. Check your shoes. Get it fitted professionally at a run store. 5. Always listen to your body. Don’t fret! It won’t stay…

Blok shot cherry dark chocolate flavor with caffeine. Only if I go for a >10mile run though. Otherwise, no pre-workout needed for me! Never felt the need for it!

I had horrible arch pain and PF and it all went away with superfeet insoles. My podiatrist actually recommended it over the $300 custom insoles which were my other option. I’ve recommended them to 3 different folks including my husband who got Pf from tennis - and they all found relief. Chex then out at your running…

There are small town gyms and independent gyms like that. I found one when I traveled to a small town in upstate NY. You get you own key fob and swip in 24/7. None of the big chains do that though.

I would suggest focusing on a disciplined PT to let your ankle heal before attempting any amount of exercising. It sucks, I’ve been there, but you’ll thank yourself in the long run.

Check your form. I disagree with the above post that it’s not about your form. Granted there can be other reasons but form matters. A lot. Your knees cannot go past your toes

Or get the app called Fight Camp - for $39 a month you get punch trackers for free, video instructions, and awesome support

Get the app called boxing coach. You need to know the basic jab cross hook and upper cuts, they are traditionally assigned a number e.g. 1 for jab, 2 for cross, 3 for left hook, 4 for eight hook, 5 for left upper cut, 6 for right upper cut. Once you familiarize yourself to these, you can follow the routines on Boxing…

Easier outside. Because running is so mental.

Go get some Superfeer insoles. Pronto

I like nike training app and use it to crosstrain for running. Great functional exercises. but most of the routines require some basic equipments so I’m not sure how useful the app would be for you if you didn’t have gym access.
-
Ah yes, unfortunately it’s iOS only for now :( but keep an eye out for Android versions because it seriously is one of the best at home workouts. Comparable to Pelaton but not nearly as expensive.

Fight Camp! Hands down!!

As a runner who recovered fro PF I will recommend getting a pair of superfeet insoles. They work with any athletic shoes you have

Reformation Pilates.

“LOVE” is overrated. Even the best runners have days where they just don’t feel like getting out. After 5 years as a runner I still have that love-hate relationship with running: the toughest part is the first 5 minutes, then you get in the groove. Don’t focus on whether you love it or not - try getting into a routine for…

get the app called Studio

I hate seeing people’s half naked gym photos on my regular fb/Instagram feed even though I’m into fitness myself and in good shape. There’s no jealousy involved. Such posts almost always come across as showing off, humble brags, attention seeking, fishing for likes, or any combination above. Find another forum to do so.…

Need to weight train. Specifically single leg exercises to strengthen hips and the balancing muscles around the knees. Bulgarian split squats, single-leg deadlifts.

Nike Training Club. From HIIT to core to yoga. Best app ever

It varies by person. I have a bad relationship with the numbers on the scale so I have stopped weighing myself. I monitor progress using a full tape-measure sequence every week - arms, waist at narrowest, waist at navel, hip, thighs, calves. I also supplement that with body fat calipers.

I’ve used it on my knees for running injuries and elbow for tennis injuries. Love it it works wonders for me. I just follow the official KT take videos.. the % stretches are a bit of an art but mostly you just pull it very tight and assume that’s your “100% stretch” and walk back from there. Also KT Pro takes work so much…

Get a gym membership, become good at rowing on the Erg. Then decide. Form is VERY important with the rower. I learned it the hard way in college (lower back injury that took a while to recover) Do not spend $1k on a technical piece of equipment that you don't know how to use
