I may give this a try however, I have tried just every balm out there.

Wrist curls, bicep curls, massage, ultrasound, and something I can't think of right now. Similar to a tens unit but it drives anti-inflammatory med through the joint with a mild electrical current. It's a use-once disposable device and I simply can't remember what it's called. I look tonight and post it up.

Thanks mates! I do an occasional anti-inflammatory and I know about Jeff Cavaliere. I'll find this video.

I've been on statins for about 15 years now and at one time I was even taking two different ones. I have never experienced this issues you're talking about although I have heard of them. No good advice sorry, this is just how it has worked for me. As you are planning, going to see the doctor is probably your best approach.

Maybe I should have said "100 calories per mile for my weight" but https://www.verywellfit.com/walking-calories-burned-by-miles-3887154 seems to support the 75 calories per mile.

I have always figured that one mile (either walking or running) is generally about 100 calories. Not sure where I came up with this but to me it seemed about right. While you seem to be a smaller person, I think that 140 calories is too little for 3.3 miles and the 249 calories seems more reasonable since 349/3.3 = 75.45…

Well, I'm not a lady but the "lift what is heavy for you" made me chuckle. Because... Last month I squatted 265 pounds which is the most I have done in 2 or 3 years. I thought I was doing well. As I was unloading the bar I looked over to the bench press section and saw this dude benching 365 pounds. So, yes, "what is heavy…

If I am understanding your logic and math here... You burn 3,000 calories a day You consume 1,400 calories a day You therefore are at a 1,600 calorie deficit per day 1,600 calories/day X 7 days/week = 11,200 calorie deficit/week 11,200 calorie deficit/week / 3,500 calories/pound = 3.2 pound weight loss/week

Just wanted to say that this may be the most education thread I have ever read on MFP. Many thanks to those that participated.

IMO, anything over 10 calories per minute is approaching a hgh intensity workout. 13 per minute is close to a sprint and is not something most people can maintain for longer than 20, 30, (or for the elite athlete) 40 seconds. 30 seconds is about what it takes me to do a 100 yard dash!

This seems reasonable to me and corresponds to what I generally get on a stationary bike.

Welcome to MyFitnessPal. Hope your stay is a good one.

I think we could start a whole thread on "unusual" techniques and exercises we see in the gym.

This thread has totally unpeeled my brain.

63 here and far from an athlete. Just trying to make today better than yesterday and striving for another tomorrow.

This looks reasonable. I have always figured you burn about 100 calories in a mile walk/jog/run so a 10 minute mile therefore equals 100 calories (about 10 calories per minute). 60 minutes x 10 calories/minute = 600 calories so 585 looks about right. I'm not sure I have the physical capability to burn more than 10 calories…

Monday, because it is the start of the work week.

Okay, I will admit that when I saw Pure Barre I thought about working out in the nude.

On a forearm plank, your body is more horizontal so your forearms are carrying more of the load and your core is working harder. On a high plank, your body is a bit more vertical so more of the load is transferred to your legs and feet. IMO.

At 6'2" and 153 pounds, you're skinny. Forget the sit ups, you need to lift H E A V Y and add some serious muscle. 153 pounds at 15% = 130 pounds of lean muscle (skinny) 180 pounds at 18% = 147.6 pounds of lean muscle and will look much better.

For most moderate based exercise, 8-9 calories per minute will do. Moderate rate can be determined by "can you carry on a conversation?" If you're breathing so hard you can't carry on said conversation (and you've not passed out), it's high intensity and you're burning about 10 - 12 calories per minute.

I don't think it is anything to worry about. The "fat burning zone" is usually a low aerobic zone but as your heart rate goes up (exercise more intensely), you leave the "fat burning zone" but you burn more calories per unit of time.

Like so many things diet related, this sort of depends. Some individuals do better on a lower carb, higher fat diet and some people swear by high fiber, low fat so YMMV. It does take more calories for your body to burn an ounce of protein vs. an ounce of carbs and your body goes to carbs first for energy. However, by all…

I am sorry I must disagree here. No one should do the same lifting routine for 4 - 6 months. I like full body routines too, but that does not mean that a 4 day split will not work for someone else, even if it's a new lifter and Jollybeard did not indicate he was a novice, he simply said, "I have a new 4-day week weights…

Well of course there are a variety of answers and they all start with "It depends". Right now, I am doing a full body lifting with three different routine and three different rep schemes so there is a lot of variety just week to week. I can run this sort of routine for about 6 to maybe 7 weeks before I start to feel it is…

+1 on New Rules of Lifting (the original). I've heard nothing but good about Schuler's books and programs.

I've always (loosely) calculated intense exercise is 10-12 calories per minute. Higher than 12 calories per minute puts me into an anerobic state and I can't maintain that level for a very long time.

Go to the gym and lift. I use to think I was a pretty strong guy until I saw this really strong guy bench pressing MORE than I could squat. Screw it, go lift!

Look into 5/3/1 or Huge in a Hurry or New Rules of Lifting (first version)
