Row Machines?
Do to knee and ankle issues I try to avoid hard impact cardio and was pondering if a row machine would be a something to work in as a cardio alternative. Not a main replacement, but something to toss in once or twice a week in place of an elliptical with resistance. Thoughts?

Starting over.
A few years back I was kinda big at 265. Wanted to get back in the Army teamed up with a drill sergeant and he kicked my butt down to 177lbs inside 10mo.

There is no firmness like you get with cramping. They all most feel bruised. My wife tried to massage them last night for me and I about went through the roof the pain was…

Derp moment
So the app says "Mixed nuts in shell 1oz = 180cal" la question is - is that saying 1oz TOTAL weight in shell or 1oz once the nut has been removed from the shell thus enjoying 1 ounce total weight of nuts without shell? Because 1oz of mixed nuts in shell is like 2 walnuts and 3 hazelnuts - can't really believe that 5 total…

Worst MMO you ever played
Title says it all! What is the WORST MMO you ever played and why? For me it was WOW. Too linear not enough sandbox effect to it. I started on Ultima Online in 1997 though so having total freedom was a big thing and still is.

Runners advice?
Ok I got really high arches so I typically buy high arch support running shoes but I still get really bad foot cramps or pain in my arches and through out my feet. Someone once suggested shoes with little or no arch support so my foot could flex more as it impacts on landing. Anyone able to chime in on this?

Switching from endurance to building... help!!
Ok for the majority of my lifting I've been doing more endurance than anything as I was trying to cut fat. Recently I've decided to make the switch and I'd love to pack some meat onto these bones now. My routine has been a good 4 day set of Arms - shoulders & back - chest - and leg day. I do 4 sets of super sets on every…

Re-roll
Re-rolling the use of MFP. It helped me in the past I need to get back to the basics. As a person that works 3 jobs and has a family my time has been wasted and I need to refocus with new goals in sight. With a few friends that are serious about fitness and health together we can all get to where we want to be!
