fitness after 30

Last week I felt one of my straps start to give way. Before it could rip on my during a lift I ordered a pair of Versa Gripps Pro after seeing Dr. Mike shill them, seeing Sean N comment on how great they are, and even Will Tennyson using them without even mentioning them (which I take it to mean...

I'm lifting weights at the gym 3-4x a week. Trying to lose about 10 lbs of fat. On some days I make mistakes by eating too many carbs and because I want to maintain a calorie deficit as my first priority, I don't eat enough protein on those days (enough meaning 0.8g per pound of lean body...

(Also, 45y/o) I’m down 50 pounds since February eating 1600-2200 cal per day, high protein low carbs, 5g creatine per day, with the goal of building muscle while losing fat. 5 day split weight training in the morning during the week, usually walk/run 3 miles every evening. I’d figure I’d just be...

In May I plan on testing at my krav maga school to get into the next level. I heard it's brutal in that it lasts for six hours where they'll have us do drills with few breaks. I asked some people who have done it before and many stressed the endurance part. They recommend taking two one-hour...

Like the title says, as. 41 year old, I want to make sure I’m strong and able for as long as possible. Up until about a year ago, I had let myself go, but I’ve gotten back into fitness since around 9-12 months ago. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about long term goals and my main goals are...

I’m trying to up my fitness game. Heavy lifting and cardio. My diet sucks. Any recommendations on protein? Does it satiate you? I’d like a brand that satiates so I don’t eat so much terrible food. Also, any good heart rate monitors that CONSISTENTLY work? Wrist preferably. The one I...

Hopefully this is the right place to ask since I’m not 25 anymore. 38M, 6’5, 245lbs I weightlift 6x week (PPLPPL) but I’ve recently (past 4 months) really taken to cardio and increased my running to 4-5x week. About 4 weeks ago I reached the 15-mile mark, and I have stagnated in both fronts...

so ive been trying to lose 20 kgs (at 17) and ive just started taking it seriosly (lost 50 kg 2 years ago) been going to the gym for about one year now but didnt see a lot of results because of lack of macro counting and other stuff.. but now after a while im way more educated and put a 700...

As part of the GMB Elements program, I've been doing the L-arm stretch (video). How high should be cross-body arm be? Middle of my sternum? Clavicle?

Male. A few months ago I started jogging. Always been a lifter and hated cardio but thought I should work on my cardiovascular health too. But the issue is that I started my timing with like a 4 minute walk before jogging 8 intervals of 1.5 minute followed by 1.5 minute rest. Then after the 8...

I do cardio about 3 days a week. My routine consists of Bike resistance for 45 minutes. I vary the speed throughout the 45min though. I go through 3 different cycles of speed. I start out at a level 8 resistance and go at the speed for about 5 minutes then I go up to 10 and do that speed for...

So, I’m about a month back into the gym. All is going well, as it should, but my body has just shifted its morning poop to the most inopportune time. My typical routine was: wake up at 5:30, make coffee for my wife and I, pack the kids’ lunch and off to work. Morning poop was consistently at...

The weather had been extremely hot plus humidity plus some smoke from Canada. The smoke isn’t that bad around here but I do have asthma and I prefer not to risk it. I just recently joined YMCA. I just don’t want to stick with typical treadmill. Although, it’s only thing I know how. I’m use to...

I’ve dropped from 265 to 195 but body fat percentage is still higher than ideal. At the moment exercise is really only cardio. Am looking to incorporate weights to build muscle I have lost. But, maintaining a deficit is starting to seem like the easy part. Do I work on body fat percentage...

Started a weight loss and health journey last year after changing to a less stressful job. Have lost about 30lbs and did a DEXA scan this week, says I'm at 13.6% body fat in this pic for reference. Have learned so much about nutrition and health in the last year, I think I've made habits that...

I (35/F) have been working with a trainer for the past six months with great results. He has helped me work through a lower back injury and get back to confidently doing all of the big lifts again. I really enjoy the routine of training with him twice/week and the trust I have in him to keep me...

Hi folks, I have been reading this community since 6 months now and this is my first post. I have learned quite a lot being member of this forum and would like to share some of my ideas. Regarding my person: working in the IT business for +35 years. Many hours at the desk in my home office and...

Hey guys, been lurking here for around the last 6 months. In may last year i started my fitness journey after knocking on deaths door a few times in my short life. Was extremely unhealthy my whole life, obese kid turned obese adult, diabetes in my early 20s, that wasnt a wake up, so it went...

This sums it up for me, haha... joking aside, working out makes me feel great and like I've accomplished something. Plus, I hope that it will inspire my 7 yr old to be active and follow my example. edit: updated link
