Is there any way to work out what numbers I should be aiming for for each exercise?...

I’m a tall guy with poor mobility. I’ve been at the gym for a year and working on my mobility every workout. I improved massively in many areas except for my ankle dorsiflexion, which still sucks. While I can go low in the squat, it requires me to lean forward and I get sore (DOMS, not pain) lower back after squatting....

I want to purchase a piece of cardio equipment to use for when the weather and/or pollen are bad so that I can do LISS. Anyone have any recs? I’m leaning towards a rower, but I’d also like to be able to have a screen to watch in case I want to watch some TV. I don’t care about it havinf programs, classes I can join, or any...

I thought I’d share my favorite resource for finding workout routines, DAREBEE. It’s completely free and has a bunch of different workouts for all levels. I really enjoy their RPG based workouts....

Hello Fellow Fitness Focused Lemmings!...

I’m (43M) just starting my gym routine and was wondering about some guidelines where to get informed about good workout schedules, in example which group of muscles to do on which day for optimal effect?...

For most exercises I start with smaller weight set and then increase it. Like 8rep 40kg, 3x8rep 45kg....

What fitness/calorie app do you use (if any)?...

Assume machines and dumbbells are open...

What happened recently during or related to your training? Feel free to share whatever.

If I do 3 sets of pullups, pushups/dips, rows, crunches/planks, and squats, one after another is that enough, along with good diet, to keep me in generally good health including cardio? Will I quickly reach a plateau and need to change into a more traditional bodyweight program?

Just got back into hiking after an extended leave. I managed to get over 60 miles in June which isn't too bad for me....

I have been on a long journey from 25+ % bodyfat to 11% and also packed on a lot of muscles. Now, I never feel satisfied, but there is a point where it is sane, to let it go....

I want to hear what you've done recently that you're proud of.

How large were your physical changes and how large, if any, were the social ones? Related to anything you feel comfortable sharing, e.g. socializing/meeting new people, work, dating etc.

It's been a while since I decided to invest in my body....

So I've been out of the game a couple of years, I did a bit of calisthenics but I'm too fat now to go at that and also I was never flexible which brought a bit of a wall to that path....

Currently my top two picks based on intuition and personal taste in flavors are vanilla ice cream and white chocolate. What do you think? Or maybe you can recommend something better?

I always have trouble firing my glutes. When I do squats it feels like all quads.

Hobbled around barely able to take the two steps up to my front door the last couple days lol. It still hurts today but it’s tolerable. Is it safe to work out?

Oh man I feel high on endorphins...

I started running about a year ago and I really enjoy it. Most of the time I run on treadmills before my workout, but when I can I love to run at parks. My roommate and I had a race my last semester and he zoomed away as soon as I reached my limit. Would appreciate any recommendations....

Hey everyone! I want to have food scales in two different locations (I am frequently at my in-law's house several hours away from my own home), and my solution is to bring my old scale here, and get a new scale for at my own home....

I am semi-reguarly going to the gym (2-3x per week, depending on the week), and I decided to try a home workout challenge this week, adding 15 pushups every single week from Monday. At first I was doing sets of 15 but I've changed my style with time to minimize sets and maximize intensity....
