Bad knees- what workouts do you do?
I injured my knee apparantly (I'm icing it right now). I noticed it about 6 weeks ago or so while running but I would ignore it. I realized I couldn't put any weight on my left knee while kneeling (I did not tear an ACL- I actually did that to my right knee years ago which does NOT ever cause me problems). So two days ago,…

Thin men and muscles?
Why is it some guys put on muscle with no issue and others can workout hours a day and still be so thin? Is it what they are eating, genetics or???? What if thin dude is eating well, lots of protein and protein shakes along with working out? Is it because one that is thin needs to stick to weights and not cardio as much?

Has anyone tried Acupuncture for anything?
I'm just curious if you have tried it for anything, pain, overall well-being, digestion, stress, weight/metabolism, thyroid, anything and how you felt?

Are Avocados good to eat for low-carb diets?
It says on here that 1 avocado has 14, or 17 carbs and I don't like to mix my carbs with high fats, it just helps me to not put on weight/lose it. I didn't realize they had such a high carb amount. Who loses while eating avocados on a low-carb diet, just curious?

1 hour 23 minutes of weight lifting only 471 calories?
Yet elliptical would be like 1400 for that same amount of time? What? I don't believe it, I was winded and working up quite a sweat for my 83 minutes of weight lifting today/weight machines. It is so general. And there are many different types of elliptical machines, different heights/different resistance. I mean someone…

I exercise on the trampoline from time to time, a small one at home, aerobics, jumping jacks, jumping on it, dancing on it, or whatever. I just log under aerobics dancing I guess. There are also different kinds of elliptical machines and stationary bikes, and it does not account for that (some work different body parts,…

Any LOW CARB protein shake/smoothie ideas?
When I have a smoothie, it's mostly carbs (from the fruit and rice milk or hazelnut milk or whatever I put in there). I should add that I have a dairy-free diet so whey and yogurt isn't gonna work for me, I love plain coconut yogurt, but it's with sugar and it's mostly a carb. But when I need something low-carb, all I…
