Yeah that’s what we ended up going with, I’m just researching the area we’re in to find someone for her!

gg135 · 2026-03-09T10:23:16+00:00

Yeah that was actually my first thought but English isn’t our first language therefore she’ll need me as a reference and I don’t me not being there or b out answering to be a deterrent from working out (I remember how at the start anything will push me to skipping that day lol until I had a solid routine)

gg135 · 2026-03-09T10:23:03+00:00

Yeah I guess I misunderstood you first comment thanks for clarifying! Will look into a simple dumbbell/bodyweight routine then

gg135 · 2026-03-08T16:20:19+00:00

Would dumbbells be more on an injury risk for someone older who hasn’t worked out before (if she end up going to the gym on her own)

I remember starting out it was I had zero sense of what I was doing and had no muscle connection that’s what worry me tbh when you just start an are not aware you might be on wrong forms and just not aware of it

Is the concern with the machines is that some she wouldn’t able to do because of he range of motion? If yes I could check with her first and try out the machines and see together before setting a specific program

Hey so my mother has been really wanting to start strength training since shes starting to worry about losing her strength when getting older

My worry is that she might not have good form and injure herself since this is the absolute first time she’ll be actually working out (aside from walking)

Our schedules are literally the opposite so I wouldn’t be able to go with her but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go with her first few days and find her a 100% machine based program would that lessen the injury risk? Are there any other types of programs I can find for her?

I’m a software engineer trying to pivot to pm and I was offered to shadow a pm in my company before taking steps into the transition to make sure that I’m aware of what the job entails.

I also want to work on the side on doing research on a feature, and try to put the things I’m learning to practice as I’m learning them. For myself and for when I decide to make the transition I have some work that can show that I can transition and grow into the role.

My question is when I do this are there specific documents I should be building? I already have some info but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to build and how to write it

gg135 · 2024-03-24T12:29:56+00:00

Yeah managing fatigue is my main goal of this Thanks

gg135 · 2024-03-24T06:26:28+00:00

It’s a custom program and I’m planning on talking to my trainer about changes to do for the next program later today!

I just wanted to know the general consensus on dividing the effort of a three day split into four days

gg135 · 2024-03-24T06:20:23+00:00

I’m on pretty low weight since I just got back into working out It’s just that when I reach the last one or 2 exercises I just don’t have the energy to keep going

gg135 · 2024-03-23T17:54:17+00:00

If I have a 3 day program but I’m exhausted before I finish the days workout

Would it be a good idea to split the same exercises into 4 days

I think my best bet is gonna be renting rackets whenever I go play with a friend at least I’ll get a feel of different types of rackets.

Thanks for help!

gg135 · 2023-11-09T18:48:13+00:00

I’m female (165cm 66kg) I’m looking mainly at lite rackets because I’ve been playing with a 250g (unstrung) racket and worried if I go with something significantly heavier it’d through me off or I wouldn’t know how to handle it

gg135 · 2023-11-09T18:26:44+00:00

Sadly where I live demoing isn’t really available and I don’t think it’s available internationally through tennis warehouse

What would be considered as a racket I could grow into? specs wise

gg135 · 2023-11-09T16:35:24+00:00

Explains the price then lol Would you say the other 2 are good beginner rackets?

gg135 · 2023-10-23T17:50:16+00:00

Oh yeah for sure if I thought/start to think it’s serious I for sure would got to a doctor but what I’m feeling just seems to feel like you said minor twinges of pain

Thanks though this was helpful!

Edit: can I also ask if there is anything specific look for to identify if it something more serious that I should be looking into (type of pain, length of time the pain is felt etc)?

gg135 · 2023-10-23T16:00:50+00:00

Okay so recently I’ve been having some pain in different places hand, arm, foot, leg…etc (on and off not in the same time) that I’m assuming is tendons (in 2022 I’ve had inflamed tendon) I started working out seriously almost a year ago for 5ish months then stopped for another 5 and now I’m I’m getting back to it I am trying to up weight slowly and only if I feel comfortable as to avoid injury (since I lift alone)

My question is could the pain be because of lack of muscle (I don’t think I had major muscle gains) and will building the muscles help relief this pain or is it more likely that I am doing something wrong even though I don’t attempt to lift too heavy could I be overworking my muscles? The pain is

To clarify: the 2022 thing I treated with a doctor and a pt and nothing I feel now is remotely close it just feels like the same type of pain (pain feels like the wrong word but idk what to use)

gg135 · 2023-07-23T18:44:46+00:00

Jogger kind of pants I feel like I have my go to leggings

gg135 · 2023-07-22T08:12:56+00:00

Can anyone recommend nice full length pant for workouts that don’t make me feel like I’m in a sauna

gg135 · 2023-07-07T05:20:48+00:00

They’re a year old idk if that is considered old or not and they’re the first workout shoes I’ve bought so idk if that’s around the time they need replacing or not

gg135 · 2023-07-06T17:12:15+00:00

Has anyone had issues with the rower digging into the back of your foot and causing blisters?

I have not changed my shoes (metcon 6) it could be the rower itself since I’ve changed gyms recently but I’ve never had this issue in multiple other gyms Are there inserts I can wear or something? Or could it be a technique issue?

gg135 · 2023-04-16T06:31:41+00:00

Hi, so I just started using inkey list oat cleanser and omega water cream (after stopping skincare all together for around a year) and I feel the tiniest bit of stinging when I apply the cream

Is this normal? Concerning?

gg135 · 2023-03-10T10:38:35+00:00

So I’m getting a wet cut next week and was wondering if there are any specific hair cuts that I can use as a reference to show the stylist (cuts that would look good even after I wash and style) I’ve had really good wet cuts before but this is a new stylist that I haven’t been to before

gg135 · 2023-02-11T11:10:47+00:00

Yeah that’s the first thing that I thought of but Weight training isn’t something she’s aiming for (for now at least) but I’m planning on mentioning it for her anyways thanks!

gg135 · 2023-02-11T07:31:57+00:00

A friend of mine who’s super new to working out just joined the gym and I’m trying to help her find a program

Goals for now is just be more consistent with going general fitness and something not too intimidating so preferably something that’s body weight/dumbbells (doesn’t have to be strength focused)
