    “Don’t look at the scale, because muscle weighs more than fat.”

    @samuelperla you have to be specific about your goals. Do you want a lower number for your scale weight? Why? So you can fit more people in an elevator, so you can be a jockey, so you can make weight, so you'll be easier to carry? How did you select that to be your goal? Your diet is...

    To eat or not to eat before working out in the morning?

    @insanelydisturbed I bet. I've only listened to his 30 30 30 video where he definitely made it up 😆

    To eat or not to eat before working out in the morning?

    @aroah1015 If that guy's name is Gary Brecka, take his advice with extreme caution. Sometimes he just makes stuff up. Your pre-workout eating habits are about how you feel during your workout. I've had light breakfasts, 100 calories worth of gummy bears. Sometimes I just have a protein shake...

    I really don't like Squats, can I just do leg press instead?

    @heislove1980 Get a trainer to coach your squats, so you have less uncertainty around them. You can do leg press, but they're not as effective or beneficial as squats. It's investing in a skill for life. All the movements that require squatting, and actual squatting weight lifting. And it's a...

    I really don't like Squats, can I just do leg press instead?

    @lhenzkiey Yes. But I wouldn't say it like that. It's kind of like I like clean clothes, so I do laundry and find ways to make it enjoyable lol

    Reasons/motivation to workout

    @sparklepaws23 Think of why you want to workout. How working out improves your quality of life, the sense of accomplishment you feel after.

    Worked out after 4 years using the stair master but don’t want to over do it

    @itscw It's best practice to get a physical when restarting exercise. It will help ease your exercise anxiety. Regular anxiety is for a therapist. Considering the goal you stated, there's no need to make your workouts super hard for the first few weeks, or at all. Start gradually, enjoy...

    Looking for input on my workout routine

    @yellowking I think some core exercises will help. Unevenly loaded lunges, single arm presses, kettlebell pull throughs, bird dogs come to mind

    Core exercise video for someone VERY out of shape 😅 29 f

    @livingontheedge Don't focus on your core, especially not using sit ups as the standard. Get a physical. Then get a balanced whole body training program. You can do yoga or pilates or just walking to start

    Disappointed by little progress

    @fernandosn You're doing great! The best thing is that you love the workouts; that helps you stick with them. Number changes come slowly, but you're on the right track. Make sure your eating is on point, try to get 5+ servings of fruits and veggies per day.

    Beginner bodyweight routine advice?

    @preciousklay this doesn't make sense to me at the moment. You have a training program including weights, but you want to taper off and not use weights? Do you want results? Why not go to a gym? Or get a kettlebell?

    M18 beginner workout

    @greatbuss You're gonna be pretty tired at the end of these. I'd suggest 2 sets of the isolation exercises. I think bench, deadlift, pullups, squats is a better order. Deadlifts and squats on the same day is tough. Add in planks, bird dogs, banded side plank clamshells, or ab rollouts for...

    What are the best ways build muscle from home?

    @peacefan If you can stand it, I think you should try getting over the weird people at the gym and focus on your workouts.

    Lifting while losing weight - pointless or no?

    @safsafs Technically, training usually leads to gaining lean muscle mass. You can't gain TOTAL body mass/scale weight in a calorie deficit. So changes are due to: 1) an improved coordination of muscle tissue and contractions, leading to strength gains 2) a body recomposition, from a combined...

    I want to lose 8 lbs in 1 month

    @colinpf Possible. Depends on a lot of factors... The secret is there are no calories in fiber or water, so eating 5+ fruits and vegetables every day will have a big impact

    I couldn’t even do 5 minutes on an elliptical!!! Help!!!’

    @andrewmicheals Nice investment! The key to sustainability is doing something that you can maintain. The public health guidance is 150 minutes of moderate activity exercise per week, so 30 minutes a session is a useful goal. Start with going 30 minutes at a pace you can sustain twice a week...

    overall trying to be healthy/strong but not sure what to eat

    @cornbreadfed614 You don't have to eat meat for protein. You just want to make sure you're getting enough iron and b vitamins in your diet, and eat a range of veggies for complementary proteins. You can also eat a variety of foods and still get great results! A run training program can help...
