Shin Splints
I'm pretty sure I have shin splints. Any advice from those who have had them? How long did you have to rest before getting back into your workout routine? And is there anything a doctor can do for them aside from pain meds or will they pretty much just tell me to rest? We just moved and I'm looking for a new doctor, but I…

Squat Pain
I've just started lifting recently and I'm really just working on form right now and making sure I understand everything (not worrying about how much weight yet), but after working on my squats I have a bruise under my neck at the top of my spine and it hurts there quite a bit (where I have been resting the bar). I'm just…

heartrate monitor accuracy?
Hello, I've had a flex for a while now and was looking at one of the newer fitbits with the heartrate monitors, but I'm wondering if they are very accurate or worth the upgrade. I was having trouble finding what I wanted to know when googling. Thanks!

Pre-workout
I'm just wondering about how long pre-workout lasts (looking at C4 more specifically)?

Question About Weighing
This may be a silly question, but I'm not 100% sure... I cooked some chicken drumsticks and the package has the serving size as 4oz raw/3oz cooked, but do I weigh them as a whole drumstick or do I need to take all the meat off of the bone and just weigh that? They're Perdue brand if it makes a difference.

Sushi?
Sushi is one of my favorite foods, but I can never find nutritional information anywhere locally. I'm just wondering how others gauge their calories/macros when eating sushi. I know staying away from anything fried and with a lot of sauce is definitely going to help keep the count lower, but I really have no idea where to…

Not feeling the soreness.
I've recently started back to the gym after doing very limited physical exercise for quite a while. Normally, the start of a new routine leaves me sore the next day or two, but for some reason I'm not feeling any soreness after my workouts the following days. Any ideas as to why this could be? I'm doing both cardio and a…

Cardio and Strength Training?
I am new to my weight loss journey and know that I need both cardio and strength training to get the best/most efficent workout. However, I am curious whether or not I need to have days devoted to cardio and days devoted to strength training or if I can do them both in the same day. It seems a lot of people have "cardio…

What to get for dinner?
I work nights and forgot to get myself a dinner so I was going to run by the grocery store on my lunch break. Any ideas of some healthy meals that I can make at work? I am limited to a microwave and a toaster for cooking. The salad bar will be closed at this time most likely. Thanks!
