Nrolfw and cardio
Hi, I've been doing NROLFW and am at the end of stage 2. Up to now, I have been doing this program along with 30-45 mins of cardio 5 days a week. Lately though, my knees and the rest of my body seems to need more time to recover as the workouts are increasing in difficulty and interval training was added. I am thinking…

Benefits of HIIT between weight lifting sets?
Hi everyone, I've been lifting weights for a few months. At first, I separated weight and cardio but it took up far too much time, so I did 15 mins of Hiit, then one muscle group, 15 mins HIIT, the other muscle group. I've recently been wondering whether I should do a minute of HIIT in between sets instead, to keep my…

Stumped
Hi, about two weeks ago I switched my calroie goal from 1430 (.5 pound lost a week) to 1200 (1 pound lost), but I have stayed the same weight since. Even before I switched it, I was stuck maintaining weight instead of losing. What reasons could there be for this? I know it could be because I'm not able to measure my food…

Group fitness vs. Traditional exercise
Hi, I was never much for exercising but since starting college a few months ago I exercise most days a week doing group fitbess classes such as Zumba, Kickboxing, TRX, and Turbo Kick to get my cardio in.

Exercise Balance
I have seen many posts talking about not overdoing cardio. How much cardio is too much? And how much strength is too little?

Slacking
I usually work out with cardio 5 days a week and strength 3, but i have only done one day of strength in the past 2 weeks because i no longer have access to a gym since I came home, and was only able to get in 4 days of cardio this week. If my body is accustomed to 5 days of more strenuous activity and longer workouts,…

BMR vs app calories
Hi, I'm female 5'1" weighing 135 lbs. I've calculated the amount of calories I would burn in a totally sedentary day based on a formula and it was a little over 1300. However, to lose .5 pounds a week my calorie goal is set to 1410 a day. Where is the deficit there? Should I set my calories to 1200? I didn't want to go so…

Late workout
Hi there, I have been working on a final project all day though I had planned to exercise with Zumba or Interval Training at the gym. I couldn't go before because this project is due tonight, and I can't go now because there have been reports of shots fired on campus and I am definitely not going out and risking anything.…

New to this app
Hello! I'm coming over here from MyPlate because my aunt said she preferred MFP. I'm wondering if this app, like MyPlate, automatically calculates your allotted calories with a deficit? Like if I reached my calorie goal every day and did not exercise (just hypothetical - i do exercise), would I still have a deficit and…
