    What's something you wish you started doing sooner/knew earlier in your fitness journey?

    @cec Cries in quarantine 😭 On a serious note this is going to be a major adjustment for me! It’s SO EASY to workout everyday and eat healthy when I’m home all day every day with LITERALLY nothing better to do. I truly had no more excuses and I’ve stuck to a routine!! Balancing the anticipated...

    I *calmly* shut down unwanted male attention today!

    @karin70 You handled that PERFECTLY. I probably would have been overly polite too and that’s something I definitely need to work on. Also, you’re making me miss my cardio boxing gym in LA 😭

    How to keep motivated to workout daily when stuck in the 9-5 corporate cycle?

    @abnerpublishing Yeah I’m noticing a lot of commenters here logging in at 9 with seemingly no commute. That 1.5 hr of commuting takes up ENERGY too, not just time.

    First time leaving the house in 6 months - went to the gym!

    @texas2281 Same! Sometimes just to read something/occupy my brain 😂 like reading the shampoo bottle in the shower.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @legolas2106 Oh there is ALL sorts of stuff in our world that is not made with the petite female body in mind. Cars are the scariest given our daily use of them. IIRC, Volvo is the ONLY car maker that uses female crash test dummies, which is terrifying.

    Gym-ing for months but not improving weights?

    @rania Are you able to do even one rep at the next highest weight? You’re doing a high number of reps already, if you want to progress use the next highest weight you have and do as many reps as you physically can, even if it’s like 3-5 reps. The next time you try maybe you’ll get in a few more...

    31yo 5’3” 131lbs: Did a Dexa Scan yesterday that has me absolutely shook… found out I’m OBESE with 35% body fat percentage

    @xxtroubledchristianxx Honestly just curiosity and I’m starting back up on working out regularly after close to a year of not exercising. I got in fantastic shape in 2020-2021, so I know I CAN do it, and I wanted to see what my baseline would be starting out this year. I’m also 31 and wanted to...

    31yo 5’3” 131lbs: Did a Dexa Scan yesterday that has me absolutely shook… found out I’m OBESE with 35% body fat percentage

    Here’s my dexa scan results! I knew I was depressed and overeating, but OBESE?? Never thought I’d use that word for myself as someone who’s always been “thin” and it’s really messing with my head. Healthy BMI, never weighed more than 133lbs, have always and still fit in my size 4 jeans, 27in...

    When will I stop getting DOMS from leg day?

    @protorayish Anytime I increase intensity I get DOMS, I've been working out for quite a while now. I just take it as a sign I really pushed myself and my muscles are getting stronger. Assuming you're going to a gym, do you use the rollers afterwards? I find it REALLY helps. Like I'll go into...
