I prefer Chucks as well especially when lifting.

Have you considered hoods with strings? Very useful

For my case, I've tried different pull up exercises first before I added some weights in my routine. The important question I asked myself before is, could I support my whole weight if I added some variations to a regular pull up? As it turns out, my reps lower when I tried different versions of it. 

It's actually relatively simple though. Add weight to your pull ups when you are able to and when you're going to be able to maintain performance and technical positions. There's no benefit to rushing weighted pull ups and, if you're not able to do them strictly, there's no point adding weight.
 

Recognizing and holding yourself accountable for all of these is already a big step. It just means that you are now motivated enough to grind. 

Kudos!

I'm probably going to go ahead and get one at some point fairly soon here. I'll update to let you know what I think. In the meantime, if anyone else has one, let us know!

Thanks!

Haven't tried this. Although, I'm getting curious 'cause I'm on a desk job as well. 

Welcome! I hope joining this forum motivates you. You've took the first step already. good luck on this journey!

I say, start the training gradually. If you feel that your body is still stiff, do less intense training for at least a week or two until your body adjust to that early hour. Just my two cents. 
 

It's better to ask your doctor about this but I think eating healthy food would suffice.  Focus on small frequent meals as usual, lean protein, vegetables, food rich in fiber, and of course, water. Hope this helps.

Yeah agreed once I thought about it. Might be possible in 10 minutes though, ehich is a challenge I've set myself now.

Yep possible. Good luck, bro!

better ask the engineer who constructed the house, man. But I don't think it's safe to place it in the attic area. Maybe 2nd floor is possible

I don't think this is possible. too extreme

Welcome! Good luck on your fitness journey!

Try HabitShare? 

Haven't tried it but it seems like a perfect platform you're looking for. 

What about kombucha? 

It's not uncommon that people find it hard to be disciplined in working out because they love the idea of physical activity more than actually engaging in it.

The initial feeling from exercising will quickly dissipate, and so if someone got the kick-start to begin with, they may lose motivation as their original motivation wears off. Camping for an entire day can be fun when you first start, but if a person doesn't bring provisions or basic necessities like food and water, eventually he or she will get too hungry and thirsty and give up on camping. The same thing happens during exercise: only those who are prepared for long periods of time take vigorous exercise measurements into account need to worry about this problem.

Yes, to get the most out of a bodyweight routine one must change between exercises in order to maintain intensity levels.

One reason this is good for you, as studies have shown that switching up exercises prevents neural adaptations which happen when doing the same movement repeatedly and allows your muscles longer time frames for recovery between sessions. Therefore changing up routines will not only ensure that your muscles are getting enough stimulus but also protect them against stagnation by allowing for proper recovery.

As well as making sure you're always working at high-intensity levels, circuit training is an excellent way to burn fat as interval training increases both heart rate and calorie expenditure during every exercise session.

Same here, but the thing is I try to squeeze in an hour of workout at least 5 times a week. It's hard and there are days I don't even want to or that my work gets in the way. It's the good feeling I get after I workout that I'm going for. 

There is evidence that suggests that CBD helps patients lose weight, but the research behind it is not conclusive. It's possible that high doses of CBD could inhibit your appetite and as a result cause you to eat less. 

On the other hand, the natural way is still the best option. Control your calorie intake and exercise. 

I've been here before- and my strongest feeling is to do what feels right for you. Part of having a fitness journey is to figure out which things work best for your lifestyle, goals, etc. Make a plan that makes sense for you-- and don't be afraid to change it if something doesn't feel right! So, if you feel the need to hire a trainer then why not?

I don't think you'll know what will work for you unless you try it. I'm sure your first week will be spent by figuring it all out. 😃

Some research in the process of yogic movements has shown that hatha, ashtanga, and jivamukti are among the most beneficial yoga types for increasing flexibility and improving overall health.

The best type of yoga is often determined by a few factors such as personality type, physical abilities, health goals, and so on. There's no one correct answer to which is "best" because each person will have a different response to what they find challenging and difficult. Consult with your doctor or registered nurse before attempting any form of exercise. From there you may be able to figure out an enjoyable type of yoga that will suit your personal needs most effectively.

The most common answer to this is that nutritionists and dietitians serve different roles. Dieticians are generally individuals who specialize in the delivery of food as treatment, whereas professionals in the field of "nutrition" may not have specific qualifications in this area. So maybe, a dietician is the right choice for you.

Hello there,

 

I have been a treadmill runner for about 12 years and an outdoor runner since the pandemic.

 

I have recently started feeling a bit uncomfortable with my heart rhythm. It feels like I am not getting enough air or like my resting heart rate is high, occasionally. I researched online and ended up with more questions  - some say running can be a medicine for abnormal heart rhythm but, others say it could be the cause in the first place.

 

Just wondering if anyone have had a similar experience and what worked to fix it. I am worried that this condition may keep me from running

 

Appreciate any advice!

 

P.S.: My doctor did some tests and said it is nothing to worry about but the discomfort lingers around.

I think there's nothing to worry about. Maybe give it a rest from time to time. There's a high chance you're overdoing it. I would suggest observing your pace, just to know your limit. Walk, brisk walk, jog, and run and identify at what point you feel uncomfortable. 

Hi, guys! 

I'm new here but I've been in the fitness world for a few years already. Hoping to learn something new and at the same time, share my thoughts with you. Thanks!
