Food Aversions
Anyone have specific food aversions? I have a long standing aversion to coffee and breakfast cereal (rooted in childhood - long story). I developed an aversion to beef 20+ years ago, which contributed to my going vegetarian. Now suddenly I can't eat almonds - which was a go-to snack until recently. They just feel gross in…

Gla:d program for knee arthritis
I am 56 and active up until the last 2 months due to my knee being *kitten* (arthritis). I am now limited to riding spin bike daily for 10-30 minutes (with lowest tension) and some seated upper body dumbbell work - walking, swimming, mountain bike, kayak, yoga, heavy lifting are all a no go due to severe…

So every morning I walk 2 km and it shows 200 calories, then I manually enter my 30 minutes biking and it shows my heart rate and…

Strength training fatigue
Is it normal to be noticeably tired the day after a strength training/weight lifting session? Not muscle fatigue and pain, but just tired in general. I am fairly new to this (2 months 3 X a week) and while not lifting objectively heavy weights, they are heavy for me, and take a lot out of me while I am doing them. I was…

Frozen shoulder recovery
I searched a few threads and noted a few people around here have experienced frozen shoulder. I was wondering if anyone had regained full range of motion back after. I am almost 4 years out from the original onset and still have a bit of a "shrug" in that shoulder when lifting overhead. I was told to aim for 90% and at the…

Beginning strength training
I am looking to begin strength training. I used to mostly do cardio but the last 4 years I have had a couple injuries and gained a lot of weight and now looking to do something different. I found a beginner weight training workout on here and decided to use that as a guide. I will be working out at home. Anyway today I…
