@irishamerican4christ I lift full body (heavy) three times a week. I do yoga/light weights/exercise bands the day after I lift. I make sure I get lots of activity each day. I park pretty far from my office and walk in with all my junk (big backpack). I walk to meetings in adjacent buildings or...

@irishamerican4christ OP, “steps” can be misleading. While we tend to count them as exercise, many our the steps in our daily lives are movement, but aren’t really calorie burning exercise. I’m 5’3 and 115. Very active (1-1.5 hours of exercise per day, more on weekends), also trying to do a...

@steffanie2020 I bought one that folds down and slides under my desk. But I've never done that. My work station is at the far end of my living room. Keeping it out does not get in my way.

@harfelugan SOOKIE!

@booksandmusic 💯 This!

@marianak Thank goodness--that's not too bad!

@marianak I just bought a cheap one off Amazon (about $200 US). A good treadmill is that much in the US. Are you sure you're looking at walking pads? They typically don't go faster than 4.0mph, don't incline, and are narrower/shorter than a treadmill.

@christianwomanljc Urevo. Came ready to go out of the box. The console folds down, but I never do it. It does not have side rails--which some people like for safety. It has a bluetooth app, but I never use it, I just start "Indoor Walking" workout on my Apple watch. I already had a standing desk...

@jimjam Noooooo, don’t feel stupid! 💖 He’s the stupid one! Always valid to ask a question!

@jay1969 To give credit where credit is die to my apartment complex, when the gyms had to close during COVID (I live in CA), they redid ours. Installed GREAT AC, redid the floors, completely upgraded the equipment. It's small, but they really maximized the space. It's not the same workout I get...

@marianak I bought a walking pad from Amazon. Not sure what your work day is like, but I don't think the motion of the stair stepper would be too conducive to my work or good for Zoom meetings. I've gradually increased my speed on the walking pad from 2.0mph to 2.7. I'm on it for a couple...

@jimjam Sounds like he owns/runs the forum so he can control how women work out. There is no actual basis for his comment except sexism/misogyny.

@kroglk51 Cardio will help you burn fat and burn it faster. But it's the weight lifting that will create what's left after that burn. Weight lifting also (eventually) helps increase your metabolism (muscle is active tissue requiring more calories to maintain--not a lot, but more). In addition...

@kroglk51 Yeah but having a "a sports/athletic background" could mean he was the water boy for podunk high school's football team. It doesn't mean he has any current, formal education and training to advise on an exercise program. Likewise a trainer offering nutrition advise. Just because they...
