    Goal weight for 5ft 2in F?

    @dan123 I'm 120 down from 130 and my goal is 110 but once I get there I hope to gain 5-10 pounds in muscle. Great question about how to maintain it. I feel like I've made a few fixes as of late that can be long term. For cardio I started bike commuting so now I cycle 2 hours a day if I go to...

    Is 2-3 minutes between sets too long? I keep getting rude looks from guys at the gym..

    @sandyone Yeah, I do stretching and balance between sets. I always stretch the opposite body part (hip flexor between bench sets, calf between overhead press etc etc). It gives a better impression but I also like the feeling of not sitting around.

    Is 2-3 minutes between sets too long? I keep getting rude looks from guys at the gym..

    @1stbrownhorse I do 3 minutes. I work on opposite body stretches (calfs during over head press, hip flexor on the bench, arms during squats, dynamic kicks, etc) and balance exercises. I prefer to keep busy and it doesn't give the impression that I'm just on my phone. Plus the stretches have...

    I’ve started exercising for 2 weeks but have weighed more than ever?

    @pemuoi96 I always retain water when I restart exercising. About 6 pounds worth.

    Gym employee hit on me and asked for my number.. do I mention how uncomfortable that makes me to a different manager?

    @acer621 Ultimately, neither of us have a say in the situation and we can agree to disagree. But I worry about a society that is so focused on reliation and consequences for basic human requests, a date. This is not sexual harassment or abuse of power. We have many people who are lonely, sad...

    Gym employee hit on me and asked for my number.. do I mention how uncomfortable that makes me to a different manager?

    @acer621 He's a gym employee not a VP! He's not in a position of power. They are essentially equals. Not like he threatened to ban her from the gym.

    Gym employee hit on me and asked for my number.. do I mention how uncomfortable that makes me to a different manager?

    @dynamitex But as a society do we want to potentially punish people for asking someone on a date? Is that who we are?

    Gym employee hit on me and asked for my number.. do I mention how uncomfortable that makes me to a different manager?

    @curiousquestionposter The question is what the consequences for asking someone out on a date should be.

    Gym employee hit on me and asked for my number.. do I mention how uncomfortable that makes me to a different manager?

    @markvs I'm going to disagree with talking to his supervisor. You shouldn't mess with his career. Say no like an adult and move on with your life. He asked you on a date- he didn't grab you! It's a perfectly reasonable request.

    Fitness Programs? are they worth the price?

    @david_loves_boats I liked Layne Norton's programmes cause they came with a nice interface to tick boxes, and switch exercises (dumbbell instead of barbell,).
