@rbrbrb2 When you are on a treadmill anyway, inclines are a nice way to get whatever heart rate you want. I'd do a max heart rate test first to get your zone 2 because yours seems pretty high.

@crazygirl01 I love reading female specific fitness research! https://www.strongerbyscience.com/strength-training-women/ There's this article as well, interestingly it reaches the opposite conclusion on rep ranges, saying that women do better with low rep ranges (6-10 vs 20-30). The study this...

@joy71 Did you prop up your feet like the guy in the video? He's not completely flat on the ground.

@made2worship It's your business, I just wanted to make you aware that this might cause issues (esp at such low calories), so that maybe you can check with your doctor or look it up. Wishing you success, having to go this low sucks!

@lostlamb5691 I'm not a nutritionist, just really interested in it, I can recommend the "nutrition made simple" youtube channel, e g https://youtu.be/I2uejPpWk3c?si=dM1lDC43lhQPWwwq this is one of their videos on protein. What I gathered: most people eat around 20-25% of calories which is...

@made2worship That's 40% of your calories from protein. That's very high (over recommendations), and leaves little room for whole grains, nuts, fruits, fish etc. Even if you strength train 1.5 g per kg maximizes all the benefits you get from protein, less if you have a high body fat percentage.

@rang I also have friends we mostly drink with. We go on bike rides with them when the weather allows, it's fun and low effort, can be paired with a lunch. Or some very easy hikes even in winter. When it's a drinking and eating thing, no one minds if I eat little and drink none, but that still...

@syd If you are in a deficit, you'll lose weight. But you actually want to lose fat (and at least keep your muscle), this is what resistance training helps with. Cardio is very good for you if you want to live long and healthy. Ideally you eat healthy (on a deficit only when you want to lose...

@velocity What if your knees hyperextend by themselves (hypermobility)? I don't even like standing with locked knees because of that.

@woollybear Maybe not. But you would lose less muscle than if you didn't even resistance train.

@woollybear Not sure how high your protein goal is, most small women would not really miss any gains with like 80g. It's all just different stimuluses: deficit makes your body want to eat up muscle, resistance training makes it want to increase it, protein also signals that it should build. If...

@woollybear But your workout is not going to waste if you don't hit your protein goal for the day. Your muscles still got stimulus to get bigger. Protein helps maximize thr effectiveness, but if you got 80% of the effect and don't force yourself to eat stuff that you don't even want and is over...
