For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?...

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....

Thought this was mindblowing. A lot of it was familiar to me (e.g. women need a certain level of body fat) and some of it I knew as urban legend (e.g. body fat set point theory)....

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?...

I love the full body benefits of squats but I find my knees are liking them less and less these days....

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.

Title says it all, i want to lose weight and also build some muscle, ive have been hitting the gym and cutting my calories by 500-900cal for the past two months, while i am seeing some muscle growth, its not very substantial or something people around me will notice, ive also lost about 2kgs which is not much so i am thinking of...

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?

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....

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've been weightlifting at the gym with my brother at least 2-3 days a week for the last 2 months. I recently noticed a week or so ago, after my workouts, the soreness has decreased in the days following, tremendously. No longer am I walking around with locked knees because my legs are going to give out, or with T-rex arms...

Then we'll argue about the answer in the comments

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

The mods there put a ton of time condensing and vetting information. It's worth a bookmark.

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?

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?

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