    How do families with young children find the time?

    @ryspi76 /r/homegym is the way. Wife is away for school right now, if it weren't for our gym, I'd either have to skip it entirely or use my lunch hour at work.

    Can't lose weight on 1500 calorie diet

    @crosswise Its all good. There's gotta be somewhere you are muscalculating, unless your hormones are way out of whack. But even at that point, there's a caloric number that will make you lose weight.

    How to keep motivated to workout daily when stuck in the 9-5 corporate cycle?

    @siju I told a little bit of a lie. I do my bedding on Sundays. But as for all clothes? Done only on Fridays. In one day we will go through: Me- work pants (which get used for the whole week, unless real dirty), work t-shirt, undies, socks, and gym shorts (usually get 2 or 3 wears out of...

    @crosswise Urine colour is not what I am concerned about, but thanks, haha. Are you calculating those calories, too?

    How to keep motivated to workout daily when stuck in the 9-5 corporate cycle?

    @abnerpublishing Do a time budget. Look at where you are spending your time, and see where you can improve. Priotize tasks, and do similar chores the same day. Like we have a glass shower. I clean the shower on Saturdays, since I already have the windex and rag out, I clean all the mirrors...

    Can't lose weight on 1500 calorie diet

    @crosswise What are you drinking? If you aren't losing weight, you're either overestimating your daily energy expenditure, or you aren't calculating calories properly.

    Get in better shape without losing weight?

    @aleethia Find out your daily caloric need using an online calculator. Eat 300-500 more calories a day than that, ensuring you're getting enough protein. Get on a proper lifting program, such as one found at /r/fitness Or /r/xxfitness (female fitness sub)

    What does your warm up look like?

    @newbeginning1996 I do modified "Wenning Warm ups". A typical Wenning Warm up is 3 exercises, 4 sets, 25 reps each. So 100 reps per exercise, 300 reps total. A very light weight, just get the body moving. Mine is only 3 sets, but I add 3 minutes of light cycle at the beginning. Upper Body: 3...

    I’m stuck on my average run time and I don’t know what to do

    @rahul969 This is the basic program my coach had us doing for endurance races. Except day 1, we did "tempo runs". Goal pace for a shorter distance. Increase distance weekly.

    Curious about Rucking?

    @vandaldog Ive done a bunch of ruck races in the military. I used to really enjoy going heavy, my best time/weight was 80 pounds, 20km, 3 hours. I'm out of that now, the wear and tear was just brutal. Blew out my knee twice. The most I'll do for fitness sake now is a 20 pound vest. I'll drag...
