My plan is to join the gym, and do the classes to keep a regiment. Then work out around those classes. Hoping that keeps me in line.
As I posted above, I had the opposite experience about exercising correctly and safely. I developed ankle issues working out at the gym I belonged to. Both ankles are fine now that I have been working out at home an riding my bike. The gym was a cross-fit type gym with a lot of kettlebell work, box jumps, lunges, etc. I never had any injury issues prior to belonging to this gym. I miss the gym community, but doubt I will go back. For me, diet has a bigger impact on weight loss and maintenance than exercise, but I exercise enough at home to stay conditioned.

People need to be very careful about working out when over 35-ish. The body doesn't respond to injuries well any more.
Good move. My kids went there and was a nightmare to get out of. They wanted in writing to their corporate office and then they continued charging cc
We have gone back and forth and generally disagreed on the calories in, calories out theory (CICO). While CICO works for quite a few people, it is not necessarily the correct approach for all people, especially those prone to diabetes and who are insulin resistant. For those people (like me), you have to watch your bad carbohydrate and processed food intake. But maybe in the end, it is the same thing. For insulin resistant people (and some others), eating highly processed foods (a lot of these are labeled "low fat" and "healthy" but pack with bad carbohydrates) literally starts a feeding frenzy in the body, and people get hunger pangs and tend to consume more food to satisfy the hunger pangs. When I switched to a keto diet that his heavy on protein and low on carbs, I no longer have food cravings after dinner or during the day. Intermittent fasting is quiet easy--which, in the end leads to a consumption of fewer calories. So, in the end, there is some overlap, but for many people avoiding the bad carbs and processed foods is key to accomplish weight loss and health goals.
To summarize your first paragraph, you are eating less/consuming less calories and eating the right foods to help you do that (i.e., avoid food cravings during certain times of day). 😀
I'm not that big. I ride a lots of hill and steep inclines in my rides, and usually 80-85% of my rides are in plus 80% of maximum heart rate. I don't aim for this heart rate, but just ride the trails I like and enjoy challenging myself to get to the top of certain hills in certain times.
I just ordered the UA mask...should be here tomorrow. How do you like it?
My LIfetime gym has been a ghost town. I am there at 6am and it's always pretty busy. Yesterday there were 2 of us on the almost 100 cardio machines. One of the trainers told me that only 3 trainers have returned and that the majority of members have put their membership on freeze until January. The ladies locker room has 450 lockers...I was the only person in there yesterday.
they have done a great job "social distancing" everything.....
lockers with the stickers can't be used
every other sink
every other cardio machine can be used
basketball court taken over by spin class in order to maintain the 200 square feet per person
Not scared, just not willing to wear a mask to work out.
It’s a little of both.
1. It’s all about the mask for me
You seem to be an expert in so many different things. The people around you are so lucky. You seem to be really good at telling people how to do and what to do about just about everything.
I'm just doing weights for now at my gym, I'll take my cardio outside.
No obsession at all. In the 15 to 30 min I allow myself to be on the boards some posters appear to be all over them and giving opinions on every subject. I was just complementing him Ron. No football news oh well have a great day.
What? I started going to the gym when I was OVER 35 and been going ever since. My gym locker lock has 36 years of good service. I did 40 minutes of cardio this morning on my 2nd visit to the gym since reopening. Hope to get to the machines and dumbbells next week. I never have and never will take any of those classes they have now. I've done my own thing the entire time.
I just informed the governor. He will be stepping up enforcement as a result.
How do you know what a regular night is like in his gym? I've been to plenty of gyms that would have no problem opening up like usual with the strict guidelines put forth from the virus, my gym a crowded night is irregular, not regular.
No lol, but Bac really reports people to the mods and says #reported.
it was more a joke than sarcastic don't be too hard on yourself.
Usually I hate empty gyms because I thrive on the energy, when they're empty I tend to drift and take my time or worse pay to much attention to my phone, what I've done to combat it from happening now is leave my phone in the car, that's my worst enemy at the gym.
