Let's be nice to the newbies
So I used to be the mean girl in the gym all high and mighty when the newbies would come stampeding into the gym in January all haughty and angry that "they" were crowding up "my" gym. However, now that I'm wiser and perhaps older, I realize the err in my ways and realize, we all have started somewhere, whether it be on…

Why can't the fitbit just sync on its own?!
I don't know where this topic should be, but I think I need a three step or a twelve step or some kind of step before I toss this stupid device out the friggen window. First of all MFP and fitbit never communicate on their own and secondly about once a week I have to disconnect and reconnect a dozen times. It's truly…

It's the Zombie Apocalypse-is your skill set up to snuff?
Last year when the Walking Dead series returned UC Irvine was offering a non credit online course that correlated with the Walking Dead series. One of the courses in the series had us to assess how our skill set could be used in midst of the zombie apocalypse and the weeks and months after when the availability of…

Running Apps
For those gadgety runners out there, I'm just re-entering the running world and would like some ideas on Apps that work for my IPhone, and run in background of my music, and maybe even tell me my pace. Particularly on those days I need to be motivated to move faster. I'd love free, but I'd pay for something worth it, and I…

This all started about six years ago when myself, my daughter and some friends began training for the Camp Pendleton Mud Run. For any…

Any Bodyrockers here
I've been doing Bodyrock on and off for several months. I got kind of bored and went to more Fitnessblender WOs, but did a bodyrock WO again today and was reminded of my love/hate relationship with LisaMarie. She really whoops me, but it feels so good after, ahhhhhhh!

HGC drops-general consensus
I have a friend, no, not me, I like to eat. I assure you it's not me, who is continually posting on social media about this HGC drop diet that she's on. She was on it a couple years ago and lost 30 pounds then went back to her usual diet and gained it back. I told her once that I thought it was unhealthy based on what I…

Yoga uggghhh
Okay, so I did a Vinyasa yoga class for the first time in at least a year, and I pretty much suck, since flexibility is an area of fitness of the trifecta that I pretty much ignore. I'm going to force myself to incorporate yoga at least one day a week for flexibility purposes since I know it's important. I tried a site…

40+ and fighting the good fight
Hello, I'm hoping to find support with the 40+ crowd or otherwise. My goals are pretty much the same as when I was in my 20s and 30s except now it's definitely a battle to not only maintain but to try and lose a few pounds. With that said I'll take any help I can get to lose some stubborn pounds and lower my body fat a few…
