Thank you for sharing that article. I didn’t spot it until now. It makes some handy points. I like that it points out the combined benefits with food. It works together, not just as two separate entities.

Helen1 started the topic Under desk exercise bike pedaller in the forum Gear Reviews 1 week, 4 days ago
I’m looking at those little pedallers that are sold for putting under your desk that act a bit like an exercise bike. Honestly, I don’t plan to use it under my desk. More like in front of the couch while I watch TV. But are they worthwhile? Are they noisy? Do you get any exercise really? THey’re not cheap, so I’m trying to find out from someone…[Read more]

I have absolutely no drive at that time. I can’t imagine getting up earlier to do that. I think it’s amazing that you do it, though.

Ow! Ya, it feels like you should stretch them out, but don’t. If you’re 100% sure it’s a knot, apply heat to ease it. GENTLY stretch it a little bit after you’ve applied heat. do that a few times a day. Don’t push it. Better to do too little than too much. It’ll ease off on its own. It just sucks until it does.

Is it better to run in the morning to get it done or in the evening to shake off the day’s stress and maybe sleep better? How many days per week is ideal?

That’s an interesting article. So if I understand right, it’s diet that gets the weight off and exercise that keeps it off. Good to know.

Exactly! I went out every day last week and I always felt better after than I did before.

You won’t be able to lose weight if the only change you make is exercise. But it will make a big difference to the changes you make to your diet. It will buy you more calories to eat without gaining, especially.

If you can walk outside it’s better than inside on a treadmill. The sidewalk, even if it’s flat and straight, will go up and down hill even slightly and will tilt left and right just a bit. You’ll breathe fresh air, get some sunlight and see other people around you. It’s good for you if you can do it. Not just for your physical health but m…[Read more]

Helen1 replied to the topic Best fitness pills for energy? in the forum Supplements Reviews 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The best one I’ve tried so far is Trimthin. I was going to leave you a link but it looks like it’s sold out right now. Alternately, I think I’d go with Liponitro. I haven’t tried it but the reviews and ingredients look really strong.

I forgot about that app! I started using it a couple of years ago then changed gears on my workouts. I should download again and try this spring. Who knows, right?

Looking for shoes I’ll get a whole year out of until Winter starts. These will be for walking and everyday wear. Is there anything that will last 8 months or am I expecting too much?

I tried it! It’s good for energy and workout support. I really liked it. I used it october through december. I should get that again. Thanks for the reminder! Good luck if you try it, too.

I agree! Did you end up choosing one? It really is a tough choice to make. It can be frustrating, but hwen you finally find the right one, it’s so worth it. That ends up being long-term.

Helen1 replied to the topic Any Movement is Better than Nothing in the forum Activity Forums 4 months, 1 week ago
I find that I start feeling like moving if I look out the window when it’s sunny. Try to promise yourself to go outside when the sun is out. T hat might help you want to do it more. Even if it’s just a few minutes. I do like that you’re dedicated to moving around even a tiny bit at a time. Great start.

I think WW is pretty focused on nutrition these days. Are you looking for a paid one or a free one?

Is melatonin safe to use if you don’t know if your levels are low? I mean, do you need to be tested for low melatonin before trying a sleep supplement with it?

Helen1 replied to the topic Running meditation in the forum Running Forum 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I’ve never heard of these but I’ve told myself to get back into running this year. I think I’ll give this a try. I already have a meditation app and I did a quick search and it turns out that there are running and walking meditations in it that I didn’t even know where there. Thanks for pointing this out.
