| Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:25 AM PST Hey Fittit, This is getting dangerously close to being a rant, but I promise I have a point at the end. Cruising through simple question threads and new queue over the past few years, I've seen a lot of the following:
You get the idea. I think it's time to talk about which metrics we use to measure and inform our training, and how we use them. As data and measuring tools have become more easily available and the market for fitness trackers has boomed, there seems to be a trend in the fitness marketing space (but not necessarily the coaching space) towards the idea that all data is good data. I don't think that's true. From a researcher's perspective, the increased availability of data is great. You can take that data and analyze it to find all kinds of trends. From the perspective of an individual user, though, you need to be asking yourself some questions about what measurements you're taking and what they're good for. I don't mean to say that data is inherently useless or that you should avoid any sort of objective training measurement, just that you need to be critical of measurement for measurements' sake. In that vein, I'm going to suggest that you should ask yourself the following questions before shelling out for tests or testing equipment:
Overall, I think the primary point that I'm trying to make is that you should have a clear understanding of the test you're running and a plan for how you intend to use the results, and you should have this understanding and develop this plan prior to running and paying for the testing. Otherwise, all the data you just collected is just noise. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. [link] [comments] |
| 15f, almost 3 months of running and my measurements are the exact same Posted: 17 Feb 2021 03:52 AM PST As the title says I've been running and eating moderately healthy for close to the past three months. I run a lot, I mean almost everyday on the treadmill I break a sweat. (I've been fasting 18hrs a day for a week now, but before that I had salad and ate apples a whole lot.) . My stamina has been increasing rapidly but the only physical difference is a bit of muscles showing on my stomach and my waist is constantly fluctuating between 28-26 inches. But since late November, though the scales say Ive lost 6lbs, there has been no fat loss, no visible body change besides that. I have made some mistakes so far, like on Christmas and Valentine's Day and on sundays my brothers friends always bring junk food over. There have been weeks where I've fallen off and weeks where I'm forcing myself to get back up. Weeks where I ate a lot of trash and weeks where I didn't. But I'm just feeling really discouraged that through all of this I can't see any sort of fat loss on my body. My goal is to get as fit as possible by June so I've been really planning it out but it feels like things are getting away from me and I'm starting to not want to continue at all. I'm losing my motivation because I just can't see any progress anymore. What should I do? My first thought is that I should get more strict with myself and exercise 6 days a week, intermixing full body workouts and outside running, and force myself to take fasting seriously. Will this finally make a change? [link] [comments] |
| need a back+bicep workout routine with just dumbbells and no bench Posted: 17 Feb 2021 03:17 AM PST So I workout at home, I have a pull up bar and dumbbells ranging from 2.5 kg to 15 kg, however I do not have any bench. I was wondering if anyone here could provide me with a good back and bicep workout routine that they follow. I've only been working for a couple of months, i'm 18, 6 feet tall and weigh around 70 kg.
