body recomp vs. weight loss
body recomp vs. weight loss. Which way would you go? the IF calculator I use has me at TDEE-20% on rest days regardless of which way I choose. For body recomp it puts me at TDEE+20% on workout day and for weight loss just TDEE on a workout day. Thoughts on the differences? I guess I am not completely sure what the…

spotting etiquette
So if I am doing 5 sets with 5 reps of bench press and need someone to spot me how do I handle this? I get that I need to just ask someone but do I reciprocate? do I still take rests in between? what is the right way to handle this? for one or two sets I am not too worried....but 5 sets I feel kind of bad about it.

Garmin? Polar?
Looking to get a fun fitness tool for my birthday in January. I lift three times a week but also love to get out and run. I will also start participating in mud runs and other races once the weather permits around here. I want to get not just a heart rate monitor but also something that can monitor pace and distance as…

body pump people...
how do you log your classes in your exercise log? I am just curious. I logged it last week but can't remember what I used, lol, but thought I would just see how others do it. TIA!

Body Pump anyone?
I see so many other programs posted about....I just wonder if anyone else is doing any Les Mills programs. Body Pump, Body Flow etc? I LOVE my Body Pump classes and take 2-3 a week through my local Y. Flow is great as well and I look forward to getting brave enough to try spinning.

Mom of three, new here
I just started here earlier this week. One of the instructors at the Y suggested this place. I love it here! I try to work out at least 4 times a week. I am now *training* for a 4.85 mile obstacle course mud run coming up at the end of the month. I did one last month and LOVED it so I cannot wait to do another one. I am…
