    Issues at the gym with 2 dudes

    @austinjoel2001 Call during staffed hours and let them know this is going on. Tell them that they will lose customers (if others are leaving it's not just you) if they haven't already unless this is addressed. Are they prepared for potential lawsuits if you or someone else is injured by these...

    Do any of you just NOT have defined goals?

    Tips for Treadmill to Road Running?

    @jero8858 It's definitely what I wish someone had said to me. It took me a long time to figure out that it wasn't that I was suddenly worse at something, but that I was doing something harder. Best of luck on your runs, indoor and out!

    Tips for Treadmill to Road Running?

    @jero8858 Hello me from the past! I made the transition from being like, 90/10 treadmill/outdoors to 100% outdoors when the pandemic hit. Like, not to knock the treadmill because it's still good cardio and it's much easier on the joints, and takes a lot of calculation out of running. But...

    Do any of you just NOT have defined goals?

    @mayne70 I just want to increase my odds for being healthy, pain free and active as I get older. I want to improve my skills, but not like, a certain amount to lift, or pace to run. I try to make my goals Verbs not Nouns if that makes sense.

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @allthingsarebecomenew Why do you want to get stronger? What's the motivation to do it at all? Without a concrete goal in mind it's easy to just kind of flounder around gym. So a specific goal is a good idea. And I agree with following a pre-planned program so you don't have to put the...

    How long can it take to see significant improvement in cardio endurance?

    @kmar123 That's fair! My 2017-2018 New Years Resolution was to try and find cardio I didn't hate. Was shocked to find that I don't actually hate running like I did when I was young! But it's definitely not universal, and I tried a LOT of stuff!

    @selah09 It was 'Maintenance Phase' which I've just started listening to, but IS done by the same people as 'You're Wrong About' (I like Maintenance Phase, but Sawbones is my favorite)

    How long can it take to see significant improvement in cardio endurance?

    @kmar123 Agreeing with the you might be running too fast advice. Also, if you've been running outside, and it's been summer for you, summer heat KILLS my endurance. As soon as the weather drops back below 60 my ability to run springs back pretty fast. It's crazy.

    @wallflower1104 Yeah the podcast was interesting because they said that the very original council for kid's fitness came out with a report that basically said - Kids should be able to play in any way that makes them happy and active, teachers should focus on helping the kids who struggle on...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @notw10 TBF half the TVs in my gym are tuned to that anyway 🙄

    What can I do when I’m young to keep healthy when I’m older?

    @burialchoice The very very most important thing is developing a lifelong habit. The seniors in my old yoga class all stay very active - biking, walking, yoga, golf, weights. Doing anything consistently is the most important. Flexibility and later balance is super important. Yoga is great...

    Spiraling down a pandemic depression hole so I bought a treadmill

    @vandat1 I'm sure everyone in the neighborhood thinks I'm a madwoman, because I've had the full range of emotions - loudly - while out on a run. Usually I'm laughing, but I won't say there haven't been a lot of swearing and even tears.

    @dminrev It's interesting to see what sports people bring up! I had to look up rounders and Gaelic football. I went to one very underfunded school as a kid in the states where we did nothing but play kickball every single day for the whole year.

    Spiraling down a pandemic depression hole so I bought a treadmill

    @godzillla Walking/jogging on a treadmill is great! I find it a lot easier to go a consistent pace for a longer distance, and it tends to be easier on your joints. But it can get a little boring sometimes. There's youtube videos of 'running trails' that you can pull up to pretend you're...

    Which workout videos have you enjoyed lately?

    @andrea_0517 I've been doing her 2 week Ab one which is only 10 min and I am also about dead at the end of it. I'm a little over halfway through the two weeks and I think it's getting HARDER!

    @livin4christ2 Yeah that's partially why I wanted to ask about that here. It can be very hard to get out of your own silo sometimes, and a fact like 'Well in Europe they focused on group calisthenics' is REALLY hard to verify to make sure you're actually talking apples to apples. Like, when...

    how do you manage stress in ways that aren’t exercise??

    @porcelainrose I'm so proud of you for talking to your doctor! I hope that is not too weird for an internet stranger to say. But that's honestly SO hard to do, and you did it. This is a Feat of Thorsday sort of thing. Another vote for mindfulness meditation! The '10 Percent Happiness'...
