This YouTube channel has lots of tips on jump roping, including for beginners: https://youtube.com/c/JumpRopeDudes My experience with starting jump rope, start slow, bit by bit, take plenty of breaks, wear good shoes and/or have cushioned mat Can feel it if pushing too hard Having said that, it doesn't sound like something…

8% sounds pretty low for 19 as goal maybe? Wonder if you have some body image stuff you are dealing with maybe Why do you want to be shredded? Competition coming up or for looks? For looks I would think long term, and go for a healthy body fat percentage, not walk around shredded too much all the time. Too low fat can have…

I would look at medical food maybe, like Ensure, if covered by your insurance. It can help with the stomach issues maybe, and make sure you get all the nutrients, while you focus on losing weight. With your food disorder background drinking food may be easier than to sit down for a meal. I would sit down with a dietician…

Apps like Workout Trainer by Skimble offer online personal trainers for a fee, and with corona for example personal trainers and physical therapists have become more adapted to giving online advice. You might have a broader selection then than just your area in case there isn't a lot there geared towards your training…

I like some Pilates excercises for targeting some areas, to loosen up stiff areas for example It helps me with that a bit maybe, but I don't do regular Pilates workouts, so can't tell you about overall fitness benefits. I tend not to be a fan of too many floor excercises, prefer more movement like dance or kickboxing…

Fitbod sounds interesting Workout Trainer by Skimble is also a workout app that allows for making your own workouts

Completely understandable. What I mean with more in MFP for making calculations I mean things like having more input on things like daily nutritional goal, adjust percentages, etc. Instead of Polar just spitting out some calorie numbers which there isn't total control over. So for example, I have a dietician who guides me,…

What I have decided to for now is disconnect the Polar from MFP. Part of the concern is how accurate smartwatches measure calories (over time) versus doing calculations based on parameters using standard methods and professional guidance. I'll add the excercise in manually using MFP. I'll use the Polar for tracking…

Thank you that reply helps make sense of things. That would account for the difference. Any way of knowing if MFP subtracts their BMR calc or uses the Polar BMR calc? That could make for a difference in numbers too overall if MFP and Polar calculate BMR differently. One would prefer being able to set the same baseline so…

As a general rule I learned not to eat up to 2 hours before excercise, to avoid having issues like throwing up (which I can still have the tendency to do sometimes when excertion is higher, idk i throw up and keep excercising if needs be, not saying that is the best thing in the world maybe, but anyway, back to the point)…

If you are thinking least amount of work It's taken me years, often 3 times a week excercise, but can go up to 5 (from 30 minutes to 5 hours), various sports, coaching, dietician, physical therapy, proper diet, lifestyle (no beer, avoid soft drinks, fast food, candy, cake most of the year) It's more a calling, dedication…

I have food allergies and issues like IBS and lactose intolerance and due to diet changes because of that struggle to get enough slow carbs, so that makes carb targets tricky at times. The easiest to reach for me is protein, healthy fats can be difficult, as well as the balance between them. For example it can be easy to…

Good job, good luck

Swimming can help here maybe. As well as getting into a gym and hitting the weights. With your height and current build maybe stay away from things like running, at least at first, and do cycling instead to reduce impact on joints and stuff I am not a huge power lifter, at the moment, compared to some others here, so…

That frozen pizza and crisps I would cut down on, either one a week, alternating, or both once every 2 to 3 weeks. I know it's harsh maybe Also maybe make ur own pizza, you have better control over the ingredients And Lays has oven baked crisps, less fat, or swap out the crisps for popcorn I ate crisps and store pizza for…

6'2 and train Muay Thai/Kickboxing as well On a good day training I can burn around a 1000kcal pretty easy, give or take, and that's only about a 2 hour training rough figures When I was training other martial arts and sports they calculated I was around 5000kcal a day about and I was still fairly low fat Get a heart rate…

Disclaimer haven't watch the docu yet, but have put it in planning, but this is just my experience with similar Hmm, idk, remember Eddie Hall iirc saying something like that first time he tried something strongman related, he just took to it naturally and beat out anyone normal, so that there is some genetics or natural…

Good job on losing the weight Additional some of the good advice above, take a look at this video to consider: https://youtu.be/_9pWLqaULjQ Pro cyclists eat plenty of carbs, and can be pretty skinny, because they burn so much, can see the same with triathletes 'barely any muscle' : What's your goal? Your body looks…

Yes, I have. Love some of her work The timing of the excercises, and the pace. Also like how she explains excercices. Some aerobic, and online, workouts by others I feel are just too much or high pace, her tempo fits me I don't use her for all my workouts, but some she is my fav

So, from what I understand from this topic I should excercise in a sauna, followed by excercise in an ice bath, followed by putting on fat cream with the cooling down excercise, and if I haven't dropped dead from heat stroke or heart attack, which appears likely, I should lose some extra fat (exact percentage unknown)…

Hmmm, I meant scientifically what the difference is, although perception may play a role I've been to hot countries, and excercising during the hottest part of the day usually isn't recommended, by the locals. Tend to exercise in the morning or evening However, even then some areas might be a more ideal heat to train in to…

Yeah similar to what I am thinking. You are asking quite a bit of yourself, being too tough on yourself maybe I would up the calories, more in line with your lifestyle, and also build in a few rest days a week. Excercise 3-4 days instead of 7. And agree on talking to someone knowledgeable, like a dietician, check if…

Does make me wonder if ambient heat, and things such as breathing hotter air, is a different effect than a gel warming your body, in a colder environment Because if you burn more calories being hotter, than that could give some validation to some of these creams maybe

Harvard published an article on it, it's a list with calories burned for different things, and there are more lists out there, should give you some idea: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diet-and-weight-loss/calories-burned-in-30-minutes-of-leisure-and-routine-activities According to them weight lifting for an hour is…

What I ended up doing is sitting down with a dietician and personal trainer. The dietician helped me figure out what to eat, and how many calories a day, including how to deal with excercise. That includes how much excercise compared to how much food and calories. Personal trainer helps with things like excercises and…

Friday: Jumprope 30 min, sets of 10/20 and 20/30 sec rest roughly Saturday: 6 rounds of: 10 min cycling 10 push ups 5 crunches *3 each side 5 squats Sunday: 30 min jump rope, sets of 10/20/30 and 20/30 sec rest roughly 11 Rounds Muay Thai on bag with 1 minute rest

What would worry me is applying a 'heat cream/wrap' when already in a hot room where your body is being stressed more. Are you using a chest strap or just the watch? Wonder if the increased sweat can affect the measurement. Wrist based heart rate monitors can fluctuate their reading based on different circumstances. How…
