10min treadmill warm up Rear foot elevated split squats 3x8 One arm DB push press 3x4 One arm DB rows 3x8 6 mins back to back of 10 KB swings, 10 lunges, 5 med ball slams. Fun!

2.1 mile walk with the dogs.

PF is awful! Have you done physical therapy? It helped me a lot. Also, getting fit with custom orthotics.

I take health/nutrition news with a large grain of salt. I’ve been around long enough to see too many contradictions. I go by the general rule to eat as close to nature as I can (including eggs!), with everything else in moderation. This news won’t change my egg consumption.

My 3x per week workouts take a bit longer than 30mins with warm up and stretching, but no more than 45. I do a full body strength routine (Nia Shanks) and then 5-10 minutes of “metabolic conditioning”. It’s quick, fun, makes me feel great, and I’m seeing real progress in my strength and general fitness. I do stay active on…

Are you sure 1800 is maintenance for you? That sounds awfully low for someone as active as you are.

I struggle with significant plantar fasciitis. I was a runner, and will probably never be able to run again. I try to be active in other ways, mostly strength training and walking. Recently I’ve had an increase in foot pain even from those activities, so I’ll be back to PT. It’s frustrating!! There are so many activities…

Thanks, this is helpful! It’s a mixed class, but it’ll be cool for me to see the more advanced people. I’m looking forward to it!

Sounds fun!! Thank you!

So... at what point does the attacking start? First class, tenth? I’m in, but I’d like to know what to expect:)

No other experience. I guess I’m apprehensive because I’m not sure what to expect! I’m told it’s a welcoming environment, though.

Wow, that’s quite an endorsement! Friend request sent! I’d really love to hear more about how class time is spent. I have some foot issues and I’m worried about whether this may be too high-impact for them. But I’m very interested!!

2 mile fast hilly walk with the pooches.

You are already fairly lean, so that rate of loss is probably too aggressive. My understanding is that losing that quickly you are much more likely to lose muscle mass along with fat, which is not likely the aesthetic you are going for. I’d suggest you aim more for 0.5 lbs per week. Better yet, look into recomp.

I strength train (with a short metabolic conditioning workout right after) 3x per week. I also do a daily brisk walk with the dogs, usually a couple miles, except on my one really long work day.

Do you have anyone in your life who will start with you? I find it’s fun and motivating to work out with a friend. Try whatever sounds fun to you, just make sure to start easy.

1.5 mile walk with the dogs. Having terrible DOMS from yesterday’s workout, so hopefully a lightly active day will help!

I find it can really help sometimes to focus on athletic goals rather than weight loss or aesthetics. I personally like to work on what my body is capable of rather than what it looks like. Maybe give yourself an athletic challenge based on the exercises you enjoy, as this can be motivating. For me, when I do this, I don’t…

I prefer multiple small meals through the day: 7am breakfast 11am lunch #1 2:30pm lunch #2 6pm dinner 8pm dessert/snack I prefer not to feel overly full, and I love getting to eat so frequently. It’s interesting to see how different preferences are!

You’re eating less than a 1000 calories per day?? I can’t speak to the protein, but that calorie level is far too low to maintain good health.

Personally, I recommend daily weighing and logging in a weight trend app like Happy Scale. It shows you your trend over time, so the daily/weekly fluctuations don’t bother me so much. I’ve seen a pattern where I hold steady for days, go up a pound, then finally drop. I could easily miss this if not for daily weighing, and…

I LOVE working out at home. It’s much easier for me to run down to the basement and workout than to drive to the gym. I invested in adjustable dumbbells and will invest in a squat rack. Body weight wouldn’t do it for me.

Yesterday: 10min treadmill warm up Single leg RDL 3x8 Push ups 3x8 DB row 3x8 EMOM for 5mins: 10 KB swings, 5 modified burpees (no jumping) 2.5 mile walk with the dogs Today: rest

What is your current level of fitness? What are your goals? I know it can be anxiety- provoking, but most gyms are comfortable places to be. Most people are focused on their workouts and minding their own business. You’ll be fine:)

Ooh, I had forgotten medicine balls, I’m going to order one. I work out at home so my equipment is rather limited. I was a casual runner for years when I developed PF. After 6 months of PT and special made orthotics, I could walk without pain, but my PT said running was probably out for good. There are a lot of high-impact…

I think the floor count is inflated, as it counts a lot of floors for my mildly hilly walks. But the calories burned estimate has been spot on for me.

I have the Charge 3 and like it a lot. Based on my data the calories burned estimate seems quite accurate.
