Just finished chest and triceps with a healthy dose of PT for the shoulders, rotator cuff full tear surgery 5 months ago. Feels great to be getting back to something like normal.

Chicken Caesar salad for me. Barebones sort of. Chicken + Spring Mix + 2-3 tspns sunflower seed/raisin mix and Newman's rasberry/walnut dressing. Fixes me right up every time.

Question - looking at some of the crossfitters I know, and some of the MMA folks, It would be difficult to guess who did what based on appearance or apparent fitness if I didn't know them, or weren't told who did what. Both seem to have the means to get a person seriously fit and healthy with good (or great) endurance. So…

Do the workouts have to be mutually exclusive? Do some of each if you enjoy both.

It isn't just a black thing. I've visited I don't know how many churches over the course of 30 years or so and seen it in various forms with various foods/things etc. I think your simple statement above: "when it comes to just simple natural stuff, they have no clue what to do. No self control with food and temptation, and…

I'd recommend googling concordances on the abundant life quotes. That verse is one of the most abused in the Christian faith. The "abundant life" Jesus mentions refers to grace, vitality, life's essence, joy, rest etc. Here's an example. http://biblehub.com/commentaries/john/10-10.htm We Christians are a difficult bunch.…

@rbennett721 - mine is very inconsistent since the ios11 update. Sometimes it syncs, and sometimes not, but either way I only consider the calories burned from set workouts as MelanieCN77 stated. At this time I'm not eating back any calories burned though. As far as the move goal goes, I use it for just that, a reminder to…

Here you go. I still have occasional flare ups, but not nearly as bad after continued therapy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2QQaVfeI4U

Nah, nagging doesn't work. You've gotten excellent advice in this thread, but it's up to you to make the decision, and then follow through on that decision. I'm 58 in 2 weeks and the only thing that's even slowed down my workouts have been the rotator cuff surgery I'm rehabbing from now (still doing lower body weight…

I like to, and often need to zoom in. Personally, a ram mount for the phone on the bike and a watch with better battery life would be more attractive options for me. http://www.rammount.com

I'm doing one in June with my daughter. Really looking forward to it.

I'm 57 and my metabolism is kind of out of control, according to my wife anyway. I eat at a slight deficit, and don't eat exercise calories back most days, so that widens the deficit, and subcutaneous belly fat is much less visible than it used to be. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? B) Oh, and I did target the belly fat with…

Stay with it and concentrate on trusting the math. I do get surprised sometimes at how bloated a single meal can make me feel, but rarely if ever feel guilty over it. My weightloss has stalled at times too, but that's easy to get over and never lasted long. Hang in there and double down on the calorie tracking. You look…

Ok that looks delicious...

Happy incoming Birthday! :) @rainbowbow - my mother is about Ernestine's age and I've showed her several of the videos. She's in great shape considering she's never exercised a day in her life, but I'm trying so hard to get her started :#

Yes she does! 57 here and been doing 5x5 + for over a year. 192 lbs down to 177 and according to my wife, I've added a good deal of muscle lol. Lift away. It's never too late. Oh an obligatory video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKJaZDGVNWA

Another vote for YAYOG + Straps. Love em.

Hard to say - my mother has high cholesterol and has to take meds. The doc tried to put me on it too about 5 years ago, age 50ish or so, but I told him I'd lay off the bad foods lol. It worked, whatever I did. I just got results back today and bad is only 4 points high, but the past 3 it's been under. Shy of another test,…

Exercise helps, but I would think your cholesterol wasn't that high if cutting back on cheese was the only suggestion. Was that the last bloodwork done? You may be worrying over nothing.

@SueSueDio and anyone else interested. My post history in this thread alone shows that I LOVE my "Junk" foods. My doctor covered all my bloodwork/urinalysis numbers with me about an hour ago. My "bad" cholesterol is @ 134. He said he would prefer 130 or lower. Literally everything else was perfect. He used the phrase "Like…

Day 6 of Athlean X Xero, which is a push up hell challenge. Then a pull up pyramid, abs and last some leg work.

Keep them. :) Lose the excess fat, and it doesn't sound like there's a whole lot, and re-evaluate.

Will do!

I'll have my own answer tomorrow after my doctor's visit. It's a follow up on every last blasted test they've run on me over the past month - they tested places I didn't even know I had :s The point is, this thread is loaded with my posts earlier on about the pizza/bacon_Burgers/snickers/ice cream and many other assorted…

Athlean X day 5 today. I'll be sucking oxygen like a vacuum cleaner by 4pm :s

All of this. I have a great bunch of folks, although not too many, on my friends list including a couple of "ghost friends" I'll be deleting. Number of friends does not equate to easier weight loss or better fitness. The quality of those friends can have an impact though, especially if you're having an off day.

LOl, count yourself lucky. The ones I got weren't hook up requests.

This. There have been at least two threads over the past 2-3 months made by female members who've been threatened/harassed asking how to report it and, as far as I know the mods made pretty quick work of it. This also works both ways. I'm a very happily married male who never flirts here, and have been on the receiving end…

30-90 minutes including stretches, warmups etc.

I switch up a lot. I usually do a mix of strength/body weight workouts, but it's just Athlean X Xero for 6 weeks now, + a pull up routine. It's plenty varied enough to keep boredom from setting in.
