    @elijaht Good advice all! Pardon my ignorance, but what’s DOMS?

    @katty143 This is really cool! I recently read Wild, about hiking the Pacific Coast Trail, and right now I’m reading A Walk In The Woods, about hiking the Appalachian Trail. I’ve been considering walking the West Scotland Way, but didn’t know how to start training for that kind of walk. How...

    How do you make exercise not about weight loss?

    @sarajane You’ve just summed up my two favorite forms of exercise: a long podcast/dog walk for mental health and movement and lifting weights to get and feel strong!

    Which documentaries or videos helped motivate you greatly in taking health/fitness seriously?

    @polcat Heads up about Why We Sleep—a lot of the scientific claims made in his book have been frequently debunked. Not saying that sleep isn’t important, though. https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/maintenance-phase/id1535408667?i=1000544917900

    Spiraling down a pandemic depression hole so I bought a treadmill

    @dawn16 I just bought a thin treadmill so I can do something while watching tv. So much healthier to walk for an episode of something than to drink my way through it. 😅

    Mini bike? Under-desk elliptical? Trying to get more activity in my day

    @naturemade I bought one of those thin treadmills that are meant for under standing desks, but I just use it to walk on in front of the tv in the evenings or when I have a phone call (like my teletherapy call). I’ve been thinking of getting a standing desk and using it under there, but even just...

    CrossFit culture…

    @benjames711 Agree with this; my 6:15am is friendly and people are just there to have a good workout. The people at the 5:15pm class are intimidating beasts—not saying they aren’t nice, just definitely in way better shape and much more competitive than I am.

    DEXA Results 32, 5”3, 131 lbs, 34.9% BF

    @yishae For what it’s worth, I would never look at those pictures and think “oh, she looks like she’s almost 35% body fat.” At. All. That said, you now have the knowledge and you can move forward from here! I think tracking is a great idea, particularly the craft beers. Start by just logging...

    Do you guys have opinions on Wendler's "North of the V**" concept?

    @cz1611 I typically distrust the “majority” of any group; there’s a lot of privilege and group-think that goes into being in the majority of something (most of the time). Instead, I try to know individuals and if that individual is a dude who thinks or acts this way, then that is not a...

    DEXA + RMR test results for a 5'9" 32F 136ish lb female

    @rapturetheory Holy hell, woman, how could you ever look at those abs and estimate 25% body fat? 💪 On a more serious note, how do you mentally feel about your adherence to tracking food? Is it something that you have learned to live it, enjoy it, find yourself eating the same things over and...
