    Why Ketogenic/low-carb diets make no sense for athletic performance

    @deacongirl Those are all great foods to eat alongside grains and legumes.

    Squatting AtG is not necessarily better than parallel

    @dreis Bridges are good, just not very intense. Do I just do more reps? I've tried putting weight on my hips but difficult to keep it in place.

    Squatting AtG is not necessarily better than parallel

    @thetravman I'm not using weight. I don't know how I would as I have to extend my arms forward for balance and they're not very strong.

    Squatting AtG is not necessarily better than parallel

    @thetravman I can do a squat without weight but my feet are turned in opposite directions, almost parallel to the front of the mat, and spread about twice the width of my shoulders. I need to extend my arms forward for balance. I don't do shoes in any aspect of life because none fit (forefoot...

    Squatting AtG is not necessarily better than parallel

    @janmer252 I have been working in it for three years! Running is the only thing that's helped even slightly. On a good day, when I'm warmed up after a run, I can bring my knee above my toes, but no further. I didn't used to be able to get it even halfway there. It's a temporary effect though...

    Squatting AtG is not necessarily better than parallel

    @roger5599 I don't have anywhere near enough ankle mobility to get to parallel without my heels lifting. I want to strengthen my glutes for running. What's a good alternative?

    What does 2000 calories look like to you?

    @rue77 I'm at around 2400-2500 and yeah it feels like I'm constantly eating. I feel better when I eat high-carb, low-fat (my digestive system does not like greasy foods) but that means eating like four or five meals a day, and planning five meals a day is a pain in the ass. For breakfast today...

    I [F/26] successfully walked 100,000 steps in ONE day!

    @shawn_maune If probably walk out along the road into the peak district. At least there I can pee in privacy by taking a little used path! And then walk back into town at the end of the day. I've done wandering off from home before and gotten up to marathon distance, but I'm not sure how many...

    I [F/26] successfully walked 100,000 steps in ONE day!

    @shawn_maune I'm tempted to do a 100k barefoot steps in a day challenge. Not sure what balance of running vs walking would be easiest. What step counter did you use? I only have my phone and all the step counter apps I've tried kept crashing and deleting my data. I can get an estimate measuring...

    Macro targets for a 5'1" female? (x-post from r/IF_Petites)

    @djokica8 If you get back up to 15k steps a day, you can add another 700-800 calories.

    Fit/active women of Reddit, what’s your weekly exercise routine like?

    @acco340 I run about 45-50mpw split over 7 days, sometimes go for little strolls in the afternoon, and occasionally go for a hike at the weekend. My left knee hates strength training, cycling, and even swimming but it's completely fine with running and walking unless I'm on a really awkward...

    Macro targets for a 5'1" female? (x-post from r/IF_Petites)

    @djokica8 I'm also 5'1. I go for about 75g protein, 35g fat, and 450g carbs. I run long distances. How do you get your TDEE so low? I tried eating 1300 for a while in uni. Couldn't function at all mentally and quickly ended up underweight. I didn't deliberately exercise at the time. It is...
