fast or slow cardio?
Can someone tell me if I'd get the same benefit on the treadmill if I went slower, about 2.1-2.5 with an elevation of about 7 as I do going 3.6 with lower elevation (.5-1.0)? My HR is about the same. I don't do well with almost jogging due to knee injuries. It would make sense that it would be beneficial due to the HR but…

former foods make me feel sick
It's been 2.5 years since I started mfp & changed my diet. I was curious if anyone else feels sick when they eat foods prepared as before, also restaurant foods. I rarely eat them or eat out.

I know this has been asked but now I'm asking it because of temporary circumstances & need reassurance- I'm prepping & cooking less until things change back to normal (in about 3 weeks) I'm eating more quick things & less veggies, like making a sandwich out of my baked chicken breast instead of having them with…

how do i find strength training exercises in data base?
Besides HIIT classes, I started working with weights on my own, I don't know how to bring it up in data base or what to call it. It's all upper body with weights, 3 sets of 10 reps for 30min (4 different exercises) It must be worth something

is heavy cleaning legitamate exercise?
sometimes I do out of the ordinary heavy cleaning where I volunteer. Today I cleaned for 3.5hrs. sweeping, putting things away, making several trips to the trash bin & lift up heavy bags to throw in, lots of raking, mopping, cleaning kennels non stop, drenched with sweat the whole time. I don't do this every day & don't…
