    How do I run in zone 2?

    @rbrbrb2 Hmmmm, if you like running, I think a great option could be the run-walk combo. Let’s say you run for one minute, speed walk for a couple.

I started running a 5k 3x a week in September (even though I “hated running”), and focused on running my best every session, and my 5k went from 30 to 26 minutes over a whole year! I also definitely get less tired doing physical labor. As long as you...

    What's an actual realistic goal? Pictures and current routine included

    @tomline56 Surprised to see this as well! I thought abs were a requirement to be successful at comps, but maybe not! Her look at her show is similar to what I achieved this summer and I’m like was I stage ready?!?!😂

    Progress pic (Nov 2020 to Sep 2021) History: Before COVID hit, I did ballet two times a week as my only form of exercises and was super sedentary otherwise. I quit once COVID began. Started gaining weight around July 2020 in ED recovery, but pic is from November of 2020 when I had gained a bit...
