congrats! I'm on week 1 myself. I have always hate hate hated running, but.... this makes it seem do-able. I'm not out to set any speed records, but just to be able to do a 5k would be a major accomplishment. Way to go!

You don't need a special calculator website- just divide your waist by your hips for the ratio. The part about health is that a higher ratio (bigger waist) often means your fat is inside your abdomen (by your organs), instead of on the outside (on your hips/thighs) - high levels of intraabdominal fat are felt to be a risk…

Burpees are not the same as squat thrust. You start standing, then drop down, then do a squat thrust, then jump back up. So they're like squat thrusts+

I knew I needed to lose weight for a long time... i looked fat, I never felt sexy or attractive, guys ignored me, I didn't like having to buy such big clothes. Etc. But it was when I went to visit my sister before she had her baby and we went to get a massage, and she got on the scale, and I realized that I weighed more…

i went to curves for a few months, and my thoughts are... I actually liked that it's sort of mindless and repetitive. You go in, do your thing, get out. Easy. I liked the little keytag trainer thing- it lights up green when you're in your target zone, and gives you feedback after every workout. But the downside- Like…

I have it... I like it... It's about 1lb heavier than my old scale, but I don't know which one is right. I go by the trend though not the absolute number. If it can't tell which person it is, it shows a question mark and shows initials on each side, and asks you to lean towards your initials. If there's more than about a…

Where do you get those numbers?

I dunno... I think it's possible that your BMR goes up. For example - ICU/burn patients' nutritional requirements are at least 1.5x that of healthy ppl, even though they're "just laying there" bc of (in part) a massive stress response, cortisol surge, etc. Of course I'm not comparing myself to a burn patient- just saying…

My sister, who has always been skinny and fit, found out she had PCOS when she was having trouble getting pregnant. when I heard about it, I thought "omg I totally have that", so I got worked up, and I don't. Which is great, but how weird. I have all the symptoms, and DON'T have it, but she has none of the sx and does.

do you have one of those straps? they can help. and yes, rest, antiinflammatories... Another little hint- often refractory lateral epicondylitis is a sort of a side effect of some subclinical carpal tunnel syndrome... try wearing wrist splints at night. It might help. Some people think injection with PRP (platelet rich…

thanks everyone! polar HRM watch ordered! Will keep logging as circuit training in the meantime...

sorry! you're right! i am calling circuit training, not interval. B/c just like you said, interval is super intensity cardio- which this is, but not the whole time. I'll look into hrm. Are they expensive?
