@dawn16 I have a feeling this might be a game changer. Thank you for pointing this out :)

@brothergee Aw man, the first time I did hip thrusts with a dumbbell I was so nervous. What if all the dudes are watching me? What if people are judging me? What if someone reports me as being inappropriate because they don't realize it's an actual exercise? And then I did it and... no one...

@indekee Speed comes from slow running. Seriously. Most of your runs should be done at a conversational pace, especially when building up a base like C25k does. If that means going at a snail's pace, so be it. When I first started running back in May my jog was barely faster than my walk. As...

@pjfl M/W/F evenings - cardio blast water fit Tu/Th/Sun mornings - run Th evening - martial arts Sat morning - fitness class of some kind (was Zumba, trying spin this weekend)

@bidadarikeseleo I invest in good shoes. All of my workout clothes come from Walmart/Old Navy/clearance racks. I feel you!

@bidadarikeseleo Made a huge difference for me - I went from running being uncomfortable and even painful sometimes to looking forward to my run days and a lot of it had to do with proper fitting shoes.

@timothysir Sky's out, thighs out. I just let 'em ride up - they usually don't end up as short as you think they are.

@hungry_hungry_hippo I like early mornings. I can get it done before I'm actually awake enough to figure out what's going on and I'm not dealing with the anxiety that builds throughout the day. In reality, I get it done when I can. Usually it's early mornings before work but sometimes it's the...

@realityy I think wrestlers are kind of a special case because to be really great you need to be good with both the moves and the mic. Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are two of the best talkers in the biz and it's so great to see both of them find success outside of WWE. Cena was absolutely...

@dawn16 Exactly this. I have fairly limited calories (1300-1600, depending on whether or not I'm exercising - sadly it'll be 1300 until my calf heals) and so I'm always trying to find low-cal, tasty ways to get what I need.

@dawn16 I get mine from canadianprotein.com. I get the whey concentrate and it comes in a ton of flavours. I have cooked and cream and chocolate peanut butter but I've tried plain chocolate, mint chocolate chip and strawberry. All quite tasty. Edit: tried to fix link, apparently not working :(

@dawn16 The powder I buy is about $25/kilo, so not super expensive at all :). But I'll keep that in mind.

@ibelong I use protein powder because it's an easy, quick, calorie-cheap way to keep my protein levels up (I usually aim for 80-100 g per day). I try to get most of my protein from food (and succeed from the most part) but there are some days I need the boost. I definitely feel best when my...

@kingshellie I wake up and roll out. No giving myself time to waffle about - if I do that, I get comfy and end up having to push my workout until after work and no one wants that (my husband likes to ogle. Working out in the morning helps me avoid that). I get everything ready the night before...

@cassiet2001 It’s not even wheel size that’s the important bit, it’s the frame size and geometry :)

@cassiet2001 Yay! I love hearing stories like this. Proper bike fit is awesome and I'm so glad you were able to find one that worked :)

@little96 It's OK. I'm a bit bitter - my doctor doesn't seem to care enough about my weight and I wish she had when I was mired in the whole "I exercise so I'm healthy" and was eating a whole medium pizza in one sitting and feeling OK about it. She'll dance around it a bit but won't straight up...

@little96 Your tests say you're healthy. Great! That doesn't change the fact that you're overweight for your height. Unless you're a female version of Dwayne Johnson or something, you could stand to lose weight to be healthier. Do it, don't do it, it doesn't matter to me, but your doctor is not...
