Krav Maga
There is a living social deal for one of our local Krav Maga places and I am thinking of trying it, has anyone here tried it? The one thing that is holding me back is I am not aggressive with others and it is difficult to imagine sparring with other people. Thoughts? Experiences?

A question re fat macro
Dan, Sarah, or anyone who knows - I have a question about the fat macro numbers that are recommended. I read here in this group that at a minimum it is good to eat .35 * body weight in fat but I am curious where this formula came from. I am usually above this number and eat (or come very close) my lean mass in protein, no…

I need energy today, advice needed!
I am exhausted today and achey but I need to push through my busy schedule today and have enough energy to workout this afternoon with a trainer. Yes I know, I should have taken yesterday off from exercising and I should have gone to bed at a reasonable hour but I didn't. I've eaten a big breakfast and plan to chug water…

Newbie!
Hi, I'm new here. I have a friend who enjoys this site so I thought I would check it out and I decided to stay around for a while. Hopefully the sage advice here and the tracking tools will help me change my body composition slightly while motivating me to move outside my comfort zones to try new things. SJ
