Am I on the right track with my diet?
Hello everyone, I have been tracking my calories steadily for about two-three weeks now, and I want to make sure I am on the right track. My daily caloric goal is set at 2200 calories, split 40 % carbs / 30 % protein / 30 % fat. I typically eat more for protein (1g for every lb, which is 205g). I usually have between 3-4…

Looking to cut fat, and stay on the right track!
Morning all my fellow MFP'ers, 29-year-old guy here from New York and looking to stay on the right track when it comes to eating healthier. I've fallen in love with Crossfit, and even though I am disciplined when it comes to getting to the gym (either 5am or 7:30pm), I can't say the same about eating right although I have…

Home Gym for Crossfit?
Still thinking of doing the 'home gym' thing, but scared of: 1) the cost - In the long run, I will be saving money, but at first it will be expensive to get the basic equipment (barbell, kettlebell, etc). 2) the quality of cheaper equipment - D's Sporting Goods has a 225lb weight set with a barbell for under $200....not…

What happen to my HRM?
So I started going to the gym three-five times a week about two weeks ago using my Polar RS100. I try and keep my heart rate about 70% while working out and on most gym sessions (usually about an hour), I would burn close to 800 calories. For some reason, over the past week I am having trouble getting it past 65%, even…

Back to MFP
Hi everybody, I joined MFP in August of 2012, and I started off REALLY well...I lost some weight, but then really fell off the wagon when school started back up. I got into my bad habits at work; eating fast food and not exercising. I feel like I have hit the breaking point where I KNOW that I have to do something about my…

Crossfit Tips (Newbie)
I have watched countless videos on crossfit and it looks ridiculous, yet interesting at the same time. I want to start doing it, but I need some serious work. Precursors: I cannot do more than two pullups with them being assisted, I have never done a clean and jerk before, my gym does not have rope climbs, kettlebells or…

Spinning Tips...
I have never done a spin/cycle class before, but I am interested in doing one. I have pretty good cardio, but not sure what I am in for with a spin class. Can anyone recommend me some tips? The ones at LA Fitness last about 45 minutes and I hope I can last. Thanks.

How sore is too sore?
So for the first time in a couple of months, I did a full-body workout on Tuesday night. Pull-ups, squats, bench press, rows, calf extensions and dips. Yesterday, I could barely walk and had to force myself to make it my rest day. Today, still much soreness throughout my body. I have taken some Ibuprofen, stretched…

Hi everybody!
Hey everyone, I have been trying to diet/lose weight/ train for about a year now and always fall off the wagon really quick. Well I am done with that. I worked at a gym a couple of years ago, I was fit and felt great...now, not so much. I have knowledge of training, the human body, and eating right, but NEED to start…

What kind of splits do you?
I am debating about which kind of split to do. I have never done an upper/lower or full-body split before and I have always wanted to. I am used to training each part of my body on a different day. I am looking to not really bulk up, but cut fat and lose weight. Here is what I am thinking: M: Cardio / Upper T: Lower/ Abs…
