I want to learn to do compound lifts properly, how do I do that?
I've watched videos, but I'm still pretty confused. So, I could get a trainer at the local gym, but I'm not convinced they know what they're doing. They seem like they are just trying to sell me packages. I found this place near me: http://www.greysteel.org. They are based off of the book 'Starting Strength' and ALL they…

Better Fast Food Options - what are they?
What are your suggestions? So far, I've found the Taco Bell bean burrito fresco style with a side of black beans, and a side of guac to be a good fit. Any other suggestions for better fast food choices?

Trying to be ready for a sprint triathalon by end of July
750M swim, 12 mile bike, 3.1 mile run. Currently, I can do each of those three things competently, and separately, so I can bike 12 miles, run the 3.1 and swim the 750 m, just not one right after the other. Is 14 weeks enough? And how should I start to add one to the other? Getting in the swimming is really difficult, so…

Is cardio a waste of time?

Am I doing this right?
I have about 40 lbs to lose. I'm eating a calorite defecit, enough for a 1 pound loss per week. I work out at a class at the gym M - F 545 to 645. The class does one minute of cardio, then one minute of strength, for the duration of the class. I wear the fitbit, which adjusts my calories for the day (and I have turned on…

I'm looking for something for cardio purposes, something I can do while watching tv or that I can do while everyone is still asleep.

Just started working out a week ago. Don't trust the machine estimates. Now what?
There is NO WAY that workout on the elliptical burned 400 calories. MFP says it did, and the machine says it did. I call shenanigans. the other machines seemed high, too. I logged my weight into each of the machines properly, but it still seemed way too high. What do you all do to ensure you are tracking calories burned…
