Pre-workout recommendations?
So I'm having trouble with exercising lately, I've just had zero energy and most days I can barely push myself to 20 minutes on the cross trainer before being completely drained and shaking.

Exercise with Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia sufferers: what kind of exercise do you do, and how much are you capable of? My limit seems to be around 30 minutes of cardio before I start getting too weak/shaky and nauseous to continue.

Basically, 'clean eating' seems to be a lot of vegetables and other things that…

Calorie Intake
Okay guys, so I'm a bit new to the whole calorie counting thing. I have my goal set to 1000-1200 calories a day, but when I excercise it tells me that I've earned extra calories. So should I be eating more if I've excercised, or should it be 1200 only? Very confused...
