We all started eating intuitively at some point and here we are. I feel the problem lies within ease of access to poor foods and no one has "time". In 2018 we're all guilty of poor time management which reduces the chances of exercising, meal prepping, grocery shopping or any other activity you never get around to. People…

If a banana is what's making you gain weight then your whole diet and exercise needs to be looked at again.

They're pretty accurate for the most part on calories but won't be spot on. What I do to play it safe with my tracking is after I use mine I'll subtract 15% of that.

Yes the wrist band isn't very big at all. In fact I wish it was bigger.

I have a polar ft4 and thinks it's awesome. Great accurate readings and reasonably priced.

I drink over a gallon a day and I feel that's not enough sometimes.

STRETCH!!!! Especially right after a workout.

How would you know if your glycogen stores have been completely depleted??

I've tried glutamine and noticed no different for DOMS. I wouldn't waste the money on it. Your body produces it naturally.

Depending on where you are with your calories for the day, just eat something. Try a casein protein shake too, they digest slower while you're sleeping.

^^^ This. You can eat whatever you want as long as it's done in moderation. You can eat a bag of those everyday, you can eat subway everyday as long as your not going over on your macros.

Your metabolism can't tell time, won't really make a difference. Some say though that a heavy meal before bed might wake you up at night?? Protein shakes can be taken whenever, casein protein is designed to be taken right before sleep.

The FT4 is awesome, I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I just love it.

Take in a lot of.protein to help rebuild the muscle. Also as soon as you're done working out you should be stretching for a good 5-10 minutes at least. Stay hydrated.

Thankfully I stopped reading as to not waste all of my time, but what time was wasted I would like back.

High intensity interval training is the best option imo for cardio.

Yeah something is wrong with it. I have the ft4. Once you get the working one you're gonna love it. it works great!

Yeah I did heavy weightlifting tonight and for 80 minutes it said I burned 792 calories. Wasn't sure if that sounded right??

Bump

You don't need to switch up a routine ever. Maybe increase intensity or resistance but other then that there's no need.

"Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard" "You've got what it takes, but it'll take everything you've got" My two favorites.

The body needs time to heal. If you're gonna do anything with your legs do it light and moderately. An easy bike ride helps the muscle recover quicker.

I believe I am the first afternooner. Usually around 1pm or so. I enjoy it because I feel like I still have some solid energy from my morning breakfast and snack and it fuels the rest of my day.

^^^^This, I'm only on day 6 and I can already see an improvement in my cardio from it. It's suppose to be hard, you shouldn't be able to finish it immediately. This is what makes you push yourself and "Dig Deeper!"

Anyone??

I wear under armour cross trainer shoes. I do it at the gym on a rubber type surface.

I'm in Chicago and I worry about the same thing. I haven't had any issues yet but I've had some real close calls.

Everything plus add some mental toughness, you gotta tell yourself you're not tired and you can get a workout in.

Just get a good warm up in and your soreness should be gone, they say one of the best ways to overcome muscle soreness is to stay active with the muscle.

I l love red gala apples. They usual kick that sweet tooth.
