Whats your routine?
I'm always interested to know what other people do at the gym, how they go about things, if they've got patterns etc. I'm also keen to learn new things and different ways to go about things! My Routine at the moment is: 10-15 minutes Elliptical trainer (or treadmill, depending on my mood) 10 minutes of vigorous rowing (or…

UK People- Personal Trainer courses?
I've been doing a lot of research at home on fitness, nutrition etc and have been focussed on this for a few months now. I'm really wanting to start a career in the fitness industry and have been looking at a lot of different PT courses but they all seem to have mixed reviews or have reviews that look like they're clearly…

Protein Powders and other suppliments!
I've been scowering the internet for a while now, researching protein powders and other suppliments to aid with weight loss. I've been looking for a good protein powder that has a high amount of protein and low level of carbs, do you guys have any suggestions or can recommend your favourites? Also (UK PEOPLE!) what sites…

Question for the ladies (as men do not understand the suffering we go through...)
Ola! I started my lovely time of the month a few days ago and I generally last around 5/6 days. How long on average would you ladies say you stayed bloated for after you've finished? I've never tracked it before and since I came on I've gained a few lbs in bloatiness and water retention (I assume). I had even a lot of junk…

Motivational music for working out?
Not sure if this is the right place but here we go. What are your favourite trackes to listen to when working out? Do you use spotify and have playlists that you run through? I've been looking for new music recently to help keep me pumped at the gym but I've failed to find anything that i really enjoy. Any suggestions…

Why can I never find enough Protein?
For some reason, protein is the hardest thing for me to find in my diet. I have no problem reaching my fat intake, carbs, sugar, sodium and calorie, but protein seems to completely not exist! What are the best protein rich foods that (ideally) don't have too many calories? What protein rich foods do you guys prefer to go…

Anyone had experience with Maca?
I was browsing Amazon earlier, as you do, and in the nutrient section I saw something called 'Maca Powder'. I looked around on the web to find out a bit more about it and it's had mixed uses, some people say they use it for fertility, others use it to improve immune systems and others said that it helped them tone up. Due…

Anyone use Bodybuilding.com?
Really sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to post to be honest! I've just signed up to Bodybuilding.com, mainly for ideas on what exercises to do for certain body parts. I would like to get to know people both on MFP and Bodybuilding. My username is Madzukunn on there if you're on it :)

Things that get you through it
Today is my 23rd date since I started going to the gym and (sort of) started eating better. By eating better, I mean I've been watching my calorie intake. I just want people to write some little things that help keep you motivated. Whether it's going a bit further on the treadmill, resisting a certain food etc. It's nice…

Advice for those working in an office?
I've looked around and I didn't see another recent topic like this so I apologise in advance if I missed it! I work in an office so most of my day is spent sitting down. I try to walk around as much as possible and keep myself busy (using the stairs, use a wireless headset and wandering round while talking to people etc.)…

I need help to fix my life.
Well, that title was a bit dramatic. But I do have a serious lack of balance in my life and I've never been able to figure out quite what makes it right. I work in an office, 8am-4:30pm 5 days a week. I prefer going to the gym in the morning so I get up quite early anyway and I pretty much always go to bed early, so sleeps…
