Forgot to press ‘resume’ run on fitness tracker ... again!
Don’t you hate it when you press ‘pause’ on your fitness device at a traffic lights but forget to press ‘resume’. Sometimes I run a couple of km before I’ve realised. Do you continue your run until you hit your goal mileage on your device or cut it short? I continue my run until I’ve hit my goal on my device.

Too soon to run after flu?
My son brought home the flu from school last week and, lucky me, I came down with it on the weekend. Runny nose, fever and a cough. I’m feeling a lot better today and the cough has almost gone. Is it too soon to go for a run? I usually run about five kilometres in 25 minutes. I’m 54.

Big belly and chicken arms
I'm at my ideal weight but just a weird shape I guess. I look pregnant after every meal

Big tummy; low BMI
Anyone else in this position? During my 20's and 30's I was blessed with a flat tummy (though exercise has always been part of my routine). Then I had kids (including twins). Even though I had a normal BMI the doctor advised me to lose a few kilos due to the excess weight around my middle. Now I'm at a low very low BMI but…

Frozen shoulder anyone?
I've had a frozen shoulder since March last year (confirmed by MRI). I've had numerous physio sessions and do the exercises he's given me, using a resistance band. Fortunately, it doesn't impact on my running but I can't do push ups, planks or bench presses any more and the muscles are deteriorating. How long did your…

Friends to maintain with

Treadmill distance differs from surge
I hopped on the treadmill at the gym yesterday and started my treadmill run on my Fitbit surge at the same time. I stopped when the treadmill showed 3.5 km but my Fitbit only showed 2.6 km. Any advice regarding the discrepancy would be useful. I usually do a free run so have never had a distance comparison before. I'm…

Hi, I just synced MFP to Fitbit tracker (surge) tonight. Should I delete the 5 km run I recorded on MFP this morning? Thanks for your help.

Meditation and heart rate
I recently got a Fitbit surge with a heart rate monitor. I've had a peek at the BPM a couple of times while I've been meditating and it's well below what my usual resting BPM is (including sleep). BPM is between 51 and 55 while meditating. Just thought I'd share this as I found it interesting.

Does anyone else secretly weigh their food?
I use a scale to weigh my food portions but do it in secret because I don't want the rest of my skinny family to know I'm on a diet. I'm trying to lose a few kilos on doctor's advice but family doesn't agree I need to.

Flu break
I woke up this morning with flu symptoms (aches and pains, sore throat, fever, no appetite). I've read that you shouldn't exercise while you're sick to allow your body to recover. I usually run followed by push ups etc in the exercise yard (3-5 days per week). I generally also do 10,000 steps just running around with the…
