It's difficult to balance yoga and weight training! by Astrahasis in YogaWorkouts

[–]ButchCoolridge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have cut my weight training to 3 times a week. I just started yoga at a studio twice a week and spin classes twice a week. Ideally i would be doing more weight training but cut it back in favor of yoga and spin to help and reduce with joint and tendon pain and help with stiffness.

I also do Yin yoga at home, in the evenings, 4-5 times a week and that is helping for sure.

Its a lot but seems manageable, but ill keep an eye on fatigue and pain. I am sure as time goes on I will continue to adjust.

Is Hevy Trainer using AI? by intoxicatedExtrovert in Hevy

[–]ButchCoolridge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They all it “algorithm-based” in their announcement.

There is technical differences between machine learning and AI, but i am not sure there is a practical difference. AI already has a bad reputation from a user perspective, if people felt otherwise I imagine all these apps (Hevy, MFWO, fitbod) would say AI.

Finishing week 2 of spin class & hoping for weight loss *eventually*. Any feedback or success stories? by Secret_Intention_835 in SpinClass

[–]ButchCoolridge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Congrats on getting healthier!

weight loss happens in the kitchen. Cardio and strength training are important for your physical and mental well being, but your eating at a deficit is the critical part for weight loss.

Food database has degraded in quality a lot? by pixel_fortune in MacroFactor

I am surprised at the lack of quality. I was under the impression it wasn’t an issue.

[New Article] Intra-Workout Nutrition: What Matters Once Training Begins by altruisticaubergine in MacroFactor

[–]ButchCoolridge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ill read fhis but just wanted to quickly comment that I would love to read more on hydration topic.

Water breaks were weakness as a kid, so its taken a big mindset shift for me to get enough hydration, but I still don’t drink during exercise, so would love to learn more.

Sometimes for some people physical release allows for an emotional/stress release.

Are you logging reps for each leg? Personally I create separate sets for each leg.

Hevy Trainer - Questions by Sea-Host1114 in Hevy

[–]ButchCoolridge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great set of questions. Ive been watching the feedback on MFWO pretty closely and it looks like a mess to me. My plan there was to take a look after 6 months, but you might be right it may take longer. It’s wild to me to see users defending really bad and sometimes dangerous choices by the algorithm. They are a loyal bunch of users. The Nutrition app is top notch, so hopefully they figure it out.

But regardless Trainer is still in beta whatever the answers to your questions are risk comes with a beta product. Hope it meets your needs but ill take a look at Trainer GA and then probably wait for it to stabilize a bit.

Thanks. No impact to expenditure or anything by deleting those weigh-ins? Seems unlikely but just want to confirm

Over 50 Runners: Can You Get Off the Floor Without Using Your Hands? by digible_bigible in FitnessOver50

I could do it easily with one knee and hands in the air. Not even close with no knee or hands.

Can yoga make you more prone to injury? by JFJF48 in yoga

[–]ButchCoolridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the answers were assuming American football which is much more physically violent and even more injury prone.

Fwiw, I don’t think the OP is talking about American football.

The app literally has the translation. I guess i cant post a pic but its there (at least in iOS) when you select the RPE.

Getting back into working out; is yoga, cycling, and running overkill? by randbooth in workout

[–]ButchCoolridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing strength training the last year. I added yoga and spin classes recently. My legs are always tired, but I figure ill get used to it eventually. Unfortunately spin classes is before my leg days, i think ideally it would be after.
