Got snarked at the gym today
I lifted today! That's the good part. A few other people were in the gym, including one girl who was lifting much heavier than I was- I'm using fairly small weights because I haven't lifted forever and I'm only a few weeks into doing it again- I'd rather be safe and build up to where I was than hurt myself. After she was…

Sit-ups daily or no?
Is it better to do ab work like sit-ups daily or every other day? I see so many people doing them daily and I had sort of assumed I should include them in my full-body lifting days only... are abs somehow different than other muscles that should get rest days?

Ow
I think I need to stretch after workouts and I don't know what to do... I'm doing c25k MWF and lifting Tues/Thurs. Right now I do a 5-10min walk to warmup before doing both. Before that on days I run I do walking lunges and leg swings. After all days I walk 5-10min, until my HR is normal again. What stretches can I do…

Ozeri Touch scale?

I'm confused about what the ideal ratio of carbs to protein should be for my post-workout breakfast. I'm working out before breakfast right now because it works well with my schedule. One thing I've started to read about and gotten very confused about is the ideal ratio of carbs to protein in post-workout meals... I've…

I exercised today!
I'm only a few weeks into exercising and eating better. From the middle of last week to today I've had a ton of bad stuff piling on- from sore hamstrings to work issues (yep, over the weekend) and a seriously sick family member and more. The list goes beyond 10 fingers. & I exercised today anyways. Which is a win. I've…

Beginning runner, hamstring soreness...
I'm at the end of my third week of starting to run & doing cardio 5 days a week. I've been taking it super easy since last fall I didn't and hurt my foot as a result. I alternate treadmill and elliptical for cardio, treadmill I do intervals of walking and running for under half an hour. Wednesday after my workout…

Lifting & cardio scheduling
This is the first time I'm posting to the MFP forums. My question is about how to schedule the exercises that I'm just starting to do. Background-- I'm 29. I recently tested high in bad cholesterol and triglycerides. I have PCOS I'm on meds for. I have an underactive thyroid that I take meds for, it was diagnosed within…
