Bodyweight
Total gym is interesting to me..but is it really just strength training or can you do real cardio like in running?

Sugar
So Im curious if you eat more than the suggested amount of sugars for the diet the app gives you, does your body convert the excess intake of sugars into fat? I know there's this taboo about eating sugars. If you eat no sugars will you burn more fat?

Do the Thing - Jumping Rope
I know how to jump rope, but out of the habit and just want to re-establish my rhythm right now. I'm going to try out the crossrope and I saw they have a "Speed Rope". whether or not that's any different from the 1/4 lb rope I have no idea, and what is the deal with all the different steps and ways to jump rope do they…

bakers
If you're anything like me, chocolate is the food of the gods. So for those of you who like to bake as I do but still want to try and be healthy, hope this is useful. https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/butter-substitute-baking?fbclid=IwAR0gj_DO4IkxV4qddgmBV80fuE61SpDZ43_Rg8pee-K57mKSJCcRUVODEvM

where do you like to exercise - gym, home etc and why?
I can't go to my gym right now and like exercising at home because I feel less distracted and like the privacy. Curious about what other people prefer and for what reasons or benefits it may provide fitness-wise

Summer Goals
What's your weight loss or fitness goals you have set for yourself this year? Short term, long term? What's the reason for it? I'm curious where other people are at because I don't know if it's posed in another discussion or not..and wondering who else is in my same boat. Me, I'd like to look good in my bikini again is…

40's women
Hello all. I turn 46 in June and I just weighed myself yesterday and found out I gained 40 pounds somehow since I moved here to FL about 3 years ago. This is even more of a "whoops" considering that I had lost over 100 and was doing great. I hadn't weighed myself in a while and have been feeling pretty horrible about…

No pain no gain!
I just started Ripped in 30, and Jillian said so many people go through life not showing up, not giving it everything they've got. I thought it was inspiring and made me think. Some food for thought for people today if it helps! I've not been doing well on my diet and trying to recommit to fitness. You forget what matters,…

extra skin
About 3 years ago I lost over a 100 pds and now I'm noticing my skin is shrinking back. I guess this is what's happening because it's been coming off and I see the overall difference. Has this happened to anyone else? I read online that it doesn't happen and am talking to doctors about it because I don't know. I've been…

hello everyone
I was offline for almost a year, but now recently starting using the app again. I have gained 10 or 15 pounds since I was on, and just managed my weight with diet. Now I've lost muscle mass and my clothes fit different. 2 days ago I rejoined a club here and plan to exercise 5/week and cut out all the foods I started…

For runners..fueling up
I dont know how i should eat pre- and post workout. I normally eat oatmeal and a normal breakfast, but wonder if I'm eating the wrong things and should have my carbs later. Hoping for some guidance. I run fast and will keep it up for at least 30 minutes

Eating back calories
When I go to gym I haven't been eating back what I burned off..is that bad? I just always thought it wasnt really important.
-
weights
I was wondering..do foods weigh different after they've been heated. I pull things out of the fridge and weigh, then heat and eat. Is it heavier after you weigh it, or less? this is nitpicky and perhaps a silly question. which one should you use?
-
eating after workout
soo...how soon after a workout should you eat since your body is in recovery. I didn't eat today until like an hour or so afterward so wondering if I burned more calories since I didnt' refuel or not.

heart monitor
I don't have any blood pressure issues, want to get one to help track my calories burned and for accuracy. The sensors on the machines are a pain in the neck, and I'm not going to deal with it at all on the treadmill. Is there one that will work with the machines that isn't like, $200 and also reliable. Do you have to have…

strength training
I do the machines but kind of randomly. Mostly I like the life fitness freemotion machines, b/c the incorporate compound movements and therefore work more areas. I don't bench or do the free weights. I think I don't do enough weights since its not every day and when I do I'm working different body parts in that session (…

scale
So this is a weird question, but on those old fashioned health-o-meter things, when u are using the half measurement (ex. 125) how do u know u have it in the right place? It doesnt click into place like the other ones. I wish they were just digital

former smoker
I smoked for many years in the past and now being 40 and trying to get into shape I feel it. While I know it takes time, I feel like my stamina for high intensity things like running sucks. Is this just being old? I see other people older than me going strong and I know that smoking hurt my cardiovascular. I want to know…

Pilates
I'm curious about it. Is it really tough? I've never done yoga before really, but I heard that Pilates can really tone you up and good for your core. YES/NO? They don't offer it at my gym and wonder if it's worth the money. I guess there's Pilates Reformer and regular Pilates??
