Nike Run Club App
I recently got this app and it looks good but is there an actual couch to 5k type program on it? I cannot see a way to search for things and all I see are follow along beginners runs, not a specific program.

HR monitors
How essential are HR monitors in an exercise program? I work out quite intensely (circuit training) and right when I was finished tonite I took my HR and times the beats per 15 seconds by 4. It came out to 104. There is no possible way my HR could be that low when I am working out. I sweat like a pig and give it my all,…

intervals and upper/lower body
I currently am doing 20 minute interval sprints on the treadmill (which leave me dripping in sweat) MWF and alternate upper and lower body stuff through the week. I am wondering if I should stick to something like this: M intervals and upper T lower and something else W intervals and upper Th lower and something else F…

squats
I can't squat. I try. I watch videos. It just feels awkward and it doesn't hit the areas it should. Are there just some people out there that just aren't built to be able to squat properly? I do legs on machines at the gym now but my lower body is what needs the most work and I know squats are very effective for that and…

weights
I would LOVE to see some transformations or mid transformations of those who use a lot of weights in their programs. Not sure if this is the right section or not but I am in need of some motivation! :)

Ive got this roll right above my belly button. it rolls over top of my belly button and looks so bad! I am so self conscious about this! does anyone else have this?!

'You'd be more attractive if you were thinner'
Has anyone ever been told this before? I was dating a guy for awhile but things didnt work out (nothing to do with my weight) and we are still friends. I asked him if I could ask him a question that he would answer honestly. He said ok and then I asked him how fat he thinks I am. He answered 'a bit' and I said that isnt an…

male yeast infection?
I had a YI not too long ago. I treated it and it seemed to be gone and then I had sex with my bf. A day or so later I could feel it starting up again. I was reading that this can be passed back and forth and that both partners should be treated but just HOW does a guy treat himself? Some sites say to use a cream, others…

need help
This time last year I was really into this. I was motivated and working out daily and feeling good. My eating wasn't always the best but I was getting there. And I had lost 48lbs! And then I fell off of everything. I have more than likely gained all the weight back, maybe even then some. I am so scared to weigh myself. How…

affection
I am a 29-year-old female who has never been in a serious relationship (in other words, more than just sex). I recently got into a relationship with someone who is quite touchy-feely, and I'm not. Giving affection just does not come naturally to me. I feel awkward and unsure. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I…

learning to be in a relationship
I'm going to lay it out there and say right now that I know this is pretty pathetic, but I am 30 years old and have never had a boyfriend. Sure, I've dated and hung out and whatever, but nothing ever really went to the point of boyfriend by definition. Anyways, I am now in a relationship. I am not sure it will last a long…

Delayed-DOMS?
I have a quick question about DOMS that do not happen the day after weight training but the following day (so 2 days after). I do some circuit training in the days between my lifting, but if I am quite sore the following day from the lifting, it makes lifting on the third day hard. Should I just push through anyways?

guys and dirty pics
Simple yes or no answer: would you send a dirty pic to a girl you had no interest in sexually? I'm not talking hella dirty or anything, lol, just a regular junk pic. Please do not ask for a back story lol.

My self esteem is ruining and ruling my life
There has to be someone out there who can relate to this. I hope, anyways. I have been hanging out with this guy. He showed a lot of interest, always invited me out, always invited me over, etc...and because of my self esteem, he has told me he is no longer interested. I always declined going out because I hate how I look…

Microwave Protein 'Brownie'
1 scoop protein powder 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter 2-3 tablespoons of water Mix together and microwave 30 seconds, depending on your microwave. Do not overcook or it will be dry and hard. Cook long enough for sides to set but the center is a bit liquidy. Does not take much time to cook at all.

cheat days
How do you all feel about cheat meals/cheat days. I have been dieting strictly for the last almost 2 weeks and I think I am going crazy! I even had a dream about food! Do any of you let yourselves have one day a week where you eat what you want (obviously within reason) or do you just push through the cravings? I know I…

critique my online dating profile
I get messages, but not very often. I have no problems messaging guys first, but I don't always get a response. If I do it is short and it kills it for me. Is it something in my write up? Is it my pics I have up? Is it that I have 'a few extra pounds' listed as my body type? It has to be something! I have in my profile I…

Protein Powder Recommendation
I know that if you are eating healthy foods and are eating adequate amounts of protein you probably don't need to supplement too much with a protein powder. I also know that protein powders can be iffy on taste and can vary greatly between brands. I supplement because I am not a huge meat eater and I just thought a thread…

gym soliciting a plus size store
today I went to buy a nice shirt I have to wear to have my photo taken in for work (I plan to take it back after the photo is taken lol) and as I was getting ready to leave, a woman walked up to the counter and introduced herself as being from a gym and that she is going around to different businesses offering them…

he/she would like me if I weren't so fat
I don't know if any of you have been following my thread but I am starting to realize that I think I am in this situation. I do not believe this is a lack of self confidence but rather of me being realistic about how I look. Have you ever gotten along with someone so well and you know that if you weren't so large, that…

it never works out in the end?
I have been hanging out with this guy. I have posted about him before and how much he confuses me. Basically, we flirt, he will touch or hit me somehow, we can make jokes and bug each other, we get along really well and have similar interests. But, no move has been made yet. He keeps seeing me so he has to like me in some…

Spartacus Workout Challenge
Is anyone interested in doing a 12 week Spartacus Workout Challenge? It is recommended to do the workout 3 days per week. There are 10 stations. You do each station for 60 seconds, followed by 15 seconds of rest. You then repeat the whole workout 3 times for a total of 41 minute workout. Between each complete set, take a 2…

question for the girls
I recently had a pap done, I got a call today from the clinic saying the doctor would like to follow up with my results with me, but that it is non-urgent and whatever showed up was common. I am freaking out a bit because I can't get in until Wednesday. What could it be?!

question regarding lifting and carbs
So, I am starting a beginners lifting program I found online. I am working out at home and came up with this program following one I found online, I had to tweak it though as I didn't have some of the equipment like the leg press. Anyways, I am doing it 3 times weekly A, B, C, A, B, C etc 10 reps of 3 sets A: bench press…

anyone good at photo editing?
I took a pic that I think might be decent of myself, but I accidentally left my flash on and my face looks like an albino! I tried fixing the photo myself but I am so not good with those things. Is there anyone I could email my photo to that could try to make it decent for me? I would appreciate it SO MUCH! Thanks!

hanging out vs interested in
Here is a question for you all, and I hope I can word it right... Is it bad to 'hang out' with someone you are interested in, and be touchy feely and flirty with them (the touching nothing extreme or anything) without knowing if they are into your or not? Are you putting out some sort of vibe by doing this? Guys, do you…

exercise isn't the problem, but diet is
I am seriously feeling down today. I tried on some clothes today that I bought late last summer. They still fit even though I have lost almost 35lbs! WTF! I feel like this weight loss is going sooooo slowly, and it is depressing. I have no problems exercising. I am much more active than I was when I weighed 260lbs, but…
