Kickboxing 6 Week Challenge - is this realistic?
I think this might be a widespread thing in the US, but my local martial arts gym posted a "Free 6 week kickboxing challenge" on their Facebook page & I went in to get more info. Basically you commit to 3 classes per week, they give you a meal plan & try to sell you protein powder/supplements. Of course nothing is really…

TDEE For Tall Ladies?
I'm having a hard time figuring out my TDEE/BMI from the online calculators/MFP. I'm wondering if they're accurate for tall women or are they just based on average women? I'm 6'2" & carry most of my weight in my lower body (hips, thighs, butt), but I'm thin in the upper body. At 210, according to the calculators I am…

Foot Cramps - ruining my workouts!!!
I have been struggling with cramps in the arches/tops of my feet for the past few months, usually towards the end of the day.

I might go Sunday,…

Variation of C25K Program
I have my first 5k scheduled this Saturday & have only made it to week 4 of C25K. At first I really struggled with it, so I decided to approach it a little differently. Yesterday I wanted to push myself so I sort of made up a variation of week 4 but added some extra to try to get more prepared! Prior to this I never made…

Running & having to "go"
This is probably a weird question & I did search for the answer in older posts but did not find anything. How do you deal with bathroom breaks while running??? In the gym, it's not an issue, but outside there aren't really options. I usually run about an hour after work (7pm/7:30pm) & try not to drink much beforehand, but…
