Oh....really. Then explain to me then why if the USRDA of Potassium for adults is 4,700mg and a 1 cup serving of Avocado has 780 mg of Potassuim then why would taking two 550 mg capsules of Nature Made Potassium Gluconate (as an example) per day be so dangerously high of a dosage of Potassium ??? Again your just being an…

Like I said then if its really a concern about an over the counter mineral supplement, then eat a banana or avocado. Your argument about a certain supplement has been used similarly for many different kinds of mineral, vitamin, or herbal supplements. Yet people take modest doses of these every day and dont die...in.my view…

DDP Yoga is much different from traditional yoga. So I wouldnt compare calories burned between the two.

I agree. Ive seen a similar question in the past with the same responses of people poo-pooing Pre workout formulas sauing it is merely a caffeine boost. I disagree with that. There is certainly a noticable difference in my workout when I take pre workouts supplements with BCAAs, L-Citrulline, and Arginine in them. Much…

A normal low dose of potassium supplement is not going to be "dangerous". Its merely an extra boost of a essential mineral. If she is really concerned about it then eat a banana or avocado.

Leg cramping can sometimes be helped by taking a Potassium supplement. Have you tried taking potassium to see if it may help ?

Three times a week strength training, once a week mountain biking, and once a week hilly hike or a ruck march.

A good ol' simple set of Therabands are a great start. They are the least expensive, most versatile, used by thousands of Physical Therapists and all types of fitness users, and usually come as a set of light medium and heavy. Can be gotten usually for under $20 for a set of three. You tube Theraband exercises and look for…

Fantastic ! I'm doing a similar goal for 2020. To do a minimum of 375 trail miles(singletrack dirt trails) of hiking and the mountain bike combined. Works out to an average of 7.22 miles a week. Which is doable for me

And who pratel is "the fittest woman in the world ?" .....🤔

Great, I didnt know if you were a beginner or an experienced exerciser. But since you are not a Greenhorn and know how to mitigate some of the impact of the extra weight you are golden then 👍 I just wanted to put it out because beginners sometimes think running I a weighted vest will speed up the process of weight loss or…

Also, google "rucking"(nothing crude its just the military name for fast walking with a loaded backpack) Its the way military units have gotten in quick hiking shape for thousands of years now. You will typically burn three times the calories you would walking without a pack. And it strengthens your whole posterior chain.

You may want to be wary about running with a weight vest. Most articles I have read concerning weight vests say that they are great for enhancing many types of exercise, but say that you shouldnt run in them due to the extra weight during impact they will put on your knees.

If it involves moving your body then its exercise.

Hype and marketing. There is no magic in Apple Cider Vinegar.

I would not rely on just the treadmill. I would start using the stepmill (Stairmaster) at the gym. And if you have any buildings over five floors in your area stairclimbing would be the fastest way to get in hiking shape without actually hiking. Also descending during hiking is actually harder on your body than the…

Its not resistance bands. Resistance bands are various types of rubber bands or tubing that provide the resistance through elasticity. A TRX Suspension strap device does not stretch. It is a set of straps that you pull or push against using your bodyweight as resistance. Just Youtube "trx exercises" to get the best idea of…

I second the TRX. Get the accessory door anchor and you can use it anywhere. Hundreds of exercises can be done with it. And it is scaleable from beginner to advanced. Good enough for Navy Seals stuck out in BFE to keep in shape with it, good enough for any of us...lol

40 flights is great. I had a place where I was able to do the stairs at a 16 floor parking garage twice up and down (32 floors)it was a super workout. But now the casino that the garage is at is pay parking now so no more there. Tonight im going to do a 5 floor parking garage. So four times up is tonights goal.

I completely disagree. I do 16:8 IF and actually have less food cravings. My macro ratios are typically the same as they were before I started IF. Once your body gets used to the eating window you do not have cravings outside of that time period. And I find I typically eat about 400 to 600 calories less each day on IF…

I like big butts and I cannot lie !

I think a gym membership is dependant on your needs. If you are a Bodybuilder then yes its a must, or if you live in a small apt and just dont have the space for a selection of fitness equip then it would be necessasary too. But there are hundreds of ways to workout without a gym. I had a membership to EOS Fitness that I…

Please no

"always the buffest guy in the band". Yep unless you were Karen Carpenter who weighed 98 pounds soaking wet and yet still was a legendary drummer

I understand what you are saying. However my personal experience is that Im a much better rider when I incorporate strengh training into my training than when I do not. But then I also mountain bike way more often than I do roadie rides so that may be why. But do find I can push a bigger gear on road rides at the same…

10 hour work days as an Exhibit Carpenter. Lifting sheets of plywood, moving cabinets, climbing up and down ladders. Holding up handheld power saws, sanders, drills etc. Makes for alot of calories burnt during the workday. I usually have 6000+ steps by lunchtime on an average day.

I would say that all other things being equal: i.e. aerobic capacity, bodyweight, anaerobic threshold, etc...etc. the cyclist with the stronger legs will still be faster overall

Why do you say leg strength wont help ? If leg strength does not help why then do most contemporary cycling coaches recommend adding some weight /strength training to their riders training schedules ???

Mine too along with Mountain Biking

I never said your hubby was not a good guy or that you dont love him dearly. I merely said that I think criticizing a wife's weight is a dumbass thing to do. Regardless of whatever kind of man you are in any other aspect.
