    Tips for Treadmill to Road Running?

    @jero8858 Curiously, I have the opposite issue: I run better outside rather than on the treadmill. My best advice is to prepare yourself similarly, if you have a routine that you use to get ready for running. Go to the bathroom beforehand (even if you don’t feel like you need to), and just go...

    Feeling like I don't look like I workout

    @hendricks62 All the time. A friend of mine put it nicely: I have a very “feminine” figure and look. I was literally complaining that I don’t look like I work out at all!! I can bench 100 lbs, 3 sets of 10, I run (though not as often as I like), I can squat nearly my own body weight. But...

    Do any of you just NOT have defined goals?

    @mayne70 I’d like to be in less pain, feel more stable, trust my body more. I don’t have any goals for how much weight I can lift or how long or far I can run. I just know that lifting and running help me in my pursuit of my goals!

    Ok I finally got onboard with stretching..but now I need specific help!

    @vivienita Literally all you need is Yoga With Adriene! She’s amazing, has a huge, free library on YouTube, and from her instruction, I’ve come up with my own yoga routine (for when I’m not feeling up to a video), which stretches almost all of me.

    My spin instructor made me cry!

    @cepha I agree with the others- report this to management! I guarantee you’re not the only one who had flashbacks to childhood or other traumas. I guarantee you’re not the only one who didn’t feel good about it. The people who did... probably left, and never came back. That’s what happens. If...

    Squats: How far do you go down?

    @betsy789 Tbh I go as low as I can, but I usually only make it to parallel with the ground. My knees have been unhappy for more than half my life, and quite frankly, they’ve only been able to bend under load that far in the past 5 years! Sitting down on anything used to be a struggle, standing...

    Any fitness trainers or influencers with big bust?

    @andreamk0713 I'm not an influencer or anything, but I do a lot (a LOT) of working out, and technically have a larger chest than what you've listed here. According to my physiotherapist, there are two main things: Making sure we relax the muscles of the back, chest (pectorals), and shoulders...

    Spiraling down a pandemic depression hole so I bought a treadmill

    @godzillla Running is one of my main ways of dealing with depression, anxiety, ptsd, and the “H” part of my ADHD. It’s literally been one of the best things for my mental health. Start slow. If you’re really unsure, tell yourself “give it 10 minutes, and if you stop then, it’s okay.” You’d be...

    Chest exercises with big boobs

    @truth_seekers Hi! I have H/I cup, but I love working my chest! It’s always been one of the strongest parts of me lol There are lots of exercises you can do. I really like dumbbells since they don’t really have to actually touch your chest, and you can bring them down as far as you’d like (or...

    Workout Equipment You Love vs. Never Use

    @hebahesh This might seem extremely simple but... my yoga mat! I love it, and honestly I wouldn’t be where I am without some kind of yoga mat. Between dry skin, a mind that wanders, and a lack of space... my yoga mat keeps me from slipping, keeps my mind on what I’m doing (creating a space just...
