    @rougepaper I did my long run yesterday and THEN day 3 after trying to dodge some bad weather...I am DEAD today.

    Calling all cyclists!

    @tessal I am so interested in biking but I feel like I don't know where to start in getting a bike. I've looked at what's available in shops around me and they are all so expensive. I would like to buy used but I don't know how to go about finding something that fits me and how to evaluate the...

    School Fitness/Testing in your country

    @heartofberries I’m from the US and those tests always sucked because we never learned about technique or trained for any dimension of them. I picked up running as an adult after spending decades thinking I hated it and sucked at it from the mile run test and pacer test. Turns out practice and...

    45yo female beginner wants to lose weight and get stronger

    @mika2020 Cardio shouldn't be a problem if you're still eating enough calories. You can either eat at a slight caloric deficit to lose weight or even eat at maintenance. If you eat at maintenance, you'd stay the same weight but increase your muscle mass and decrease body fat, which will make you...

    getting fit seems pointless to me as i don’t enjoy exercise or less food/healthful food. isn’t life about finding joy? help change my mind

    @promiseokon Have you actually tried it? Like honest to goodness put in effort for a sustained period of time? There's probably at least one form of exercise out there you would enjoy. You don't have to be jacked or whatever - there's definitely an in-between level that will give you plenty of...

    How 6 months of rock climbing has changed my body

    @toni123 Seems like your approach is working really well for you and that’s great! I just don’t want people to see 1500 and be like “oh I’m less active than her - how much do I have to cut then?!” or get wrapped up in “OP you need to eat more!” when it seems like you’re doing just fine but the...

    How 6 months of rock climbing has changed my body

    @ruanddrew 1500 is low, but if OP gained 12lbs while being active, I think their calorie estimation is off. OP said they don’t really track closely. It’s easy to be way off if you aren’t measuring.

    Not sure whether to continue cutting, stay at maintenance, or eat at a surplus (progress photos)

    @imalamb Damn! Your progress is GREAT! That looks like more than an 8lb loss, which likely means you've put on a good bit of lean muscle mass. I'm not an expert in bulk/cut cycles, but I'd personally stick to maintenance and continue trying to build your lean muscle mass without much change to...

    Can you do a pull up if you can pull your bw in a lat pulldown?

    @hillpalash The little bars on the inside of some pull up bars are for neutral grip pull ups. I find those easiest too.
