    I am a student on a mission to make sticking to a workout routine easier.

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:15 AM PDT

    Hello everyone! I have been working out for almost 3 years now with great results for myself. I mainly use the Peloton app/Nike Training Club for my at-home workouts.

    As a researcher at a top American university, I am researching what goes behind creating a great workout routine and sticking to it — particularly in the context of using at-home workout apps.

    While everyone's fitness journey is unique, I would love to know your experiences. So I am trying to recruit three people who use apps like Peloton, Nike Training Club, Aaptiv, etc. for quick 30 min interviews (over Zoom).

    I want to be respectful of everyone's time so I am offering a $10 Amazon gift card for each interview (that is all I can afford as a student). If you want to share your thoughts and experiences to help research the psychology behind committing to a workout routine, send me a message on Reddit!

    Too Hot to Exercise (Advice Wanted)

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 05:22 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I really need to change my life. I'm 24, 5'3, and over 200 pounds, having a lot of health issues, and just feeling generally terrible about my self and my body. I love running and cross training, and would be doing it every day, except that...

    I live in a part of California where it can cap out at 113° during the summer. The heat starts to build up starting around 7 am, and even waking up early, it's about 80° before the sun rises. I pass out when it's too hot, which means exercising, even in my house (no central AC) becomes nearly impossible for me to do safely. In order to still try get healthier, I've increased my water intake (aiming for a half gallon a day), as well as cutting out extra sugars (more black coffee/tea), and smaller portion sizes. Obviously, I don't expect to see any huge results from such small things, but I know that every step is a good step.

    Does anyone have any other tips or advice on how to still work towards being healthier until I can start an exercise routine? Any and all feedback is appreciated, TIA!

    Back pain/issues during bodyweight exercises

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 05:47 AM PDT

    I know I'm supposed to keep my spine on the ground while doing any exercises. Its very difficult for me to do so and I am in pain really quickly from some exercises. Is my core that weak or are there other possibilities at play? I was in the danger zone for scoliosis in my teens and had major "growing pains", but that was 20 years ago!

    what is a Pelvic Floor Dysfunction? Pelvic floor dysfunction is the inability to correctly relax and coordinate your pelvic floor muscles to have a bowel movement. Symptoms include constipation, straining to defecate, having urine or stool leakage and experiencing a frequent need to pee. Initial treatments include biofeedback, pelvic floor physical therapy and medications.

    Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common condition where you're unable to correctly relax and coordinate the muscles in your pelvic floor to urinate or to have a bowel movement. If you're a woman, you may also feel pain during sex, and if you're a man you may have problems having or keeping an erection (erectile dysfunction or ED). Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles found in the floor (the base) of your pelvis (the bottom of your torso).

    Low back pain with nerve irritation that supplies the strength and movement of these muscles could cause the pelvic floor dysfunction. Strengthening, stretching and gentle exercises are beneficial to prevent more back strain and irritation on the nerves that supply these muscles. This Gentle Core Pilates For Weak and Tight Pelvic Floor Muscles Utilizing a Wall will help give enough support and be able to slowly transition out of the ball, the next progression is with the ball, then the beginner's Pilates program.

    If you think of the pelvis as being the home to organs like the bladder, uterus (or prostate in men) and rectum, the pelvic floor muscles are the home's foundation. These muscles act as the support structure keeping everything in place within your body. Your pelvic floor muscles add support to several of your organs by wrapping around your pelvic bone.

    The pelvic organs include:

    The bladder (the pouch holding your urine). The uterus and vagina (in women). The prostate (in men). The rectum (the area at the end of the large intestine where your body stores solid waste).

    Normally, you're able to go to the bathroom with no problem because your body tightens and relaxes its pelvic floor muscles. This is just like any other muscular action, like tightening your biceps when you lift a heavy box or clenching your fist.

    But if you have pelvic floor dysfunction, your body keeps tightening these muscles instead of relaxing them like it should. This tension means you may have:

    Trouble evacuating (releasing) a bowel movement. An incomplete bowel movement. Urine or stool that leaks.

    Building strength in recovery from chronic illness

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:23 AM PDT

    Hi all, I'm here to ask for some advice on rebuilding strength and fitness after a period of chronic illness.

    Until about 8 years ago I was very active. I did kick boxing, walked a lot, and was out dancing most weekends. Then a lot of bad stuff happened in my life with the end result being burn out (possibly undiagnosed chronic fatigue) about 4 years ago. I was bedridden and in pain most of the time. I've slowly managed to get progressively better and away from the people and situation that made me so sick, with a lot of love and support from family. I still suffer chronic pain flares and fatigue regularly but I'm so far ahead from where I was.

    Now that I'm able to live life semi-normally again, I feel ready to start gradually building up my physical strength and fitness. I'm pretty much starting from scratch strength-wise - I can't even do one pushup. But, I can manage walks as long as I amble rather than power-walking. So I'm needing some advice on how best to get started, and how to stick with it. Thanks in advance. :)

    Concrete Weights

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:16 AM PDT

    I'm thinking of doing some concrete dumbells and I searched up quite a lot about it, the only problem I have is that most tutorials use PVC to hold the weights and stuff and I'm worried about the PVC breaking and end up injuring me in any way.

    What do you guys recommend me?
