Thanks! Coming back after giving birth. I've been to the gym here and there but nothing consistent. I'll probably do SL and then add 3 active recovery days and then 1 cardio.

Thanks. I spent money on it years ago. Won't be spending anymore. Just fighred I'd make use of it for structure and meal timing

Great job!

300 m in 30 mins, aiming for 350m my next swim session. Great job everyone

Thanks all! I definitely plan on working my endurance up each swim. The progression of 5 minutes every 2 weeks sounds good. I was actually googling to see if there was a c25k version for swimming. Lol. I did find a swimming workout that trains swimmers from beginner to advance level by weeks or swim session I believe. I…

Newbie here. Did my first swim today and wow! Haven't swum in over 6 years and boy this was a big workout out. Swam for about 20-30 minutes and I'm wiped out. Next swim will be Tues.

As far as lifting, if inflated then my burn must be very low. range from 100-400 cals depending on length of workout. Some lifting sessions are more endurance based and HR increases like I'm doing cardio. So if I correct the numbers, how would I correct? Just add exercise as lifting and add time and let fitbit calculate…

Thats great to know. So far step count has been fine. Thanks

No its free just start one with your fitbit friends

Lol Wanting to lose 20-30 lbs. zumba is for fun, i lift for strength and physique, and walk so I'm not just sitting all day at work. My goal has been 2700 but for the past few days I've been eating 3000-3100 due to hunger. For reference zumba is about 50-60min/session. Lifting is 20-45 mins depending on body part worked.

Thanks. I'm going to start that today. Just afraid of eating 3400 cals! Do you wear yours on dominant or nondominant? I've been wearing mine on non dominant but trying out dominant today. Wondering how different the numbers will be for each arm.

Tha Thanks for the feedback. Which fitbit do you have? And if a wristband which arm do you wear it on?

Thanks guys. Just wondering how much I should eat according to what fitbit says I burn. I wear my fitbit on my non-dominant arm and the settings match the same. Think I'll try dominant arm today to see what the numbers say. I will say that right now I'm eating 2700 calories and not gaining and sometimes I am hungry at the…

Thx. I'll check there

Bump

Inches matter more than scale weight! Although I know how discouraging it can be to not see the scale budge. Definitely take measurements and pictures. I did both I just started on Sunday. I plan on taking progress photos on week 6 and week 12. I've already lost a lb but I do Zumba and play basketball as well. I have a…

:drinker:

Thank you!!

Workout A today and week 1 is complete!! 11 more weeks and I'm pumped :glasses: Squats 5x55 Bench 5x45--did the bar again as I'm still working on form and am not confident to move up as of yet Row 5x70--I've never done shoulder exercises and earlier my right shoulder was having some difficulties to say the least. I believe…

I know how you feel. This is part of the reason why I choose to go to the gym at 6am before heading out to work 2x/week. It's a bit intimidating but once you're there just keep calm! lol that's what I do. I've seen a girl there lifting heavy a few times so that gave me confidence to not feel out of place. My YMCA has three…

Wtg! Rocking that reset!

If they're lifting then odds are they are decreasing their body fat.

First Workout B Squats-5x5x50--3x5 bodyweight warm up OHP-5x5x45 --These were sooo hard!! No warm ups, I just stayed with the bar. I need to increase upperbody strength so I will definitely be repeating these next week. Also need to work on form. I think because the bar was so heavy my elbows pointed outward instead of…

Oh ok thank you. Sorry with the typos idk what happened lol. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something incorrectly because I whizzed through the workouts. Thank you!

Thank you all for your replies in regards to the warm ups. Yday was my first day and I'm not sure if I did everything right but I thought the workout would take me about an hour about I finished it in about 30 minutes. I didn't take the 90 sec breaks I just waiting possibly 30-40 seconds then continued. Is this ok? I did…

Startng tomorrow and can't wait to start checking in! I'm Alicia :flowerforyou: Just a few questions before I start tomorrow. For warm ups, I read the ebook and the stickies but for some reason it just isn't clicking for me. Are we suppose to do 2 or 3 warm up sets with 5 reps? And if I read correctly as we progress in…

Thank you all for the advice. I'll probably scale back on c25k in any case and not push if it does get to be taxing to run after.
