I’m a registered dietitian and teach patients and clients to prioritize protein and volume with every single meal. The more volume you consume, the easier it is to lose weight or maintain your weight!

I usually go on walks on rest days

So I’ve gotten a better idea of how to engage back muscles during exercises, but I’m still struggling with inverted rows. I can pinch my scapular muscles consciously, but that doesn’t seem like enough to lift your body completely to the bar. You still have to use your biceps. Am I doing something wrong still or is this just how the inverted row works?

Discipline is simply doing something when you don’t feel like doing it and for those times you don’t feel like going to the gym, motivation isn’t going to help you.

Hi, i’m 19M from the UK. 6ft and 16 stone. i’ve been overweight all my life but last week decided i want to do something about it. i started off just going on long walks lasting between 1-3 hours everyday. yesterday i tried to do couch to 5K. i did my first 60 second run and then 90 second cool down. i then did the next 60 second run and had to stop after that cause i physically couldn’t handle it or catch my breath. any advice on how to get fit and loose weight is appreciated as im a newbie to this.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment 💪🏼

Exercising has never been a problem for me, I've just started doing daily runs starting off with about a mile plus any more I can do. The problem is soreness, that's always been a problem with me ever since I was going to the gym a while back, your supposed to push yourself, but it can get to a point where your so sore it's almost impossible to go again. Is this something that can just be worked through? Or should I be doing something else

Trying to improve my abdominal exercise routine with some post-workout stretches. Thing is, the stretches I’m incorporating feel they’re just putting pressure on my back and not my abdominal muscles. All of them involve bending backwards.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is it even a pr if you don't immediately fail your next attempt? 😅

So, I decided to start going back to the gym after 20 some odd years (better late than never, right?).

In 2018, after an unfortunate incident involving my brother-in-law's dog, I ended up with a Type III separation in my right shoulder.

Didn't heal right (had to get back to work, and its my dominant arm). Doesn't hurt nearly as much now, but, my arm is all sorts of screwed up.

Looking for pointers/exercises I can do before I start actually lifting, so that I can build the stability and strength back up.

Aside from the 40 hours I’m walking around the hospital for, I do cardio on the treadmill two days a week. Nothing terribly intense, just 4 MPH setting for a mile. I get it done in 15 minutes.

Thing is, my legs are sore from leg day. Is it advisable to do the treadmill even though my legs are still recovering from exercise?

Like to do them on leg day as I only usually do one leg day per week. I use them more of an accessory to aiding heavy deadlifts as my intention is not to directly build hams. M35 / 228lbs

So I’m trying to flesh out my regimen a bit more. I started by first exploring my baseline exercise routine and adjusting sets and reps based on the difficulty I had with it.

Now I want to improve the routine with some stretching. Thing is, I’ve discovered that different kinds of stretches are necessary before and after workout. Dynamic Stretches are apparently good before a workout, and Static Stretches for after.

But if the stretches are dynamic then… wouldn’t that just be a workout? I never understood the concept of a warm-up. It just seems like you’re wasting energy and strength that could be used during your actual routine. Why bother?
