I (20 y.o. 5'11" and 155.2 lbs female) want to start working out strength. I already do cardio by doing mountain biking for ~ 1.5 hours. I do 1.5 hours karate per week but it's pretty chill (there are 80 y.o. people). I also walk from time to time and enjoy dancing to music though I do it for pleasure so I don't know for how long it lasts when I do it. I don't do strength work out at all though and wanted to know how often and for how long I should do it. I saw I should do it at least twice a week but it didn't give me a time. I tried growingananas 25 min full body work out for begginers and had difficulty finishing it and I think that by the end I wasn't doing the exercise correctly because I was exhausted. I've read an article saying that the number of work out per week was more important that the number of repeat in a work out and that after a certain number of repeat, there was no muscle growth. Do you think I should do twice a week 25 min or 4 time a week 15 min ? I don't think I can do 4 time 25 min yet or twice one hour. Before my midterm started, I had started working out and only did 10 min ×5 per week and had already seen (small) improvment in my strength and I think it lasted for 3 weeks.

I am a 20 y.o. female and I am 180 cm (5'11") tall. I weighed between 69 and 71 kg depending on the day (152 to 156.5 pounds). My BMI is 21.6. My waist circumference is 79 cm (31 inches) and my hip circumference is 103 cm (40.5 inches). Apparently my waist size to body height ratio is good since it's under 5 (0.44 for me). But I have a small neck (circumference of 33 cm (13 inches)) so the body fat calculator says I have 29% of body fat which is only 3% away from being obese and it also says that the ideal body fat percentage for a woman my age according Jackson and Pollock Ideal (I don't know what this is) is 17.7 % which is also in the ahtlete range for women. Should I try to loose weight ? How does my neck size has to do with any of that ?

I am so embarassed to post this but I don't know anywhere else I could. I am not a fan of waxing (painful) or shaving (itchy) my pubic hairs outside of my bikini line but sometimes one of my hairs become visible when I am wearing a swimsuit and that embarasses me. I've seen people on social media saying they cut their pubic hairs instead of shaving but I did that and they became itchy like when I shave them and I don't know if you have a solution to stop the itching when shaving and/or cutting, waxing seems impossible to me since it already hurt a lot when I do my bikini line.

Hi, I am 20 and I just use a mosturizer in the morning and a face cleanser in the evening. I don't think my moisturizer works well because my skin is still very dry and I have dehydratation line. I use sunscreen too but not face sunscreen. I want to find some products for my skin that are affordable and still healthy. From what I understand I need to clean morning and evening (I usually use only water in the morning since I don't use any product at night). Still from what I understand, the most important product is sunscreen then moisturizer. I've also seen that I could use vitamin C and toner. In what order should I use these ? Do you have any brand reccomendation ? Especially face sunscreen, I never had one that didn't leave my skin super greasy. Do I need to apply only in the morning or also in the evening (except sunscreen, I know it's every 2 hours if exposed to the sun) ? What is "fancy" and what is absolutely necessary ? Is there any other product I could or should use like eyecream for exemple ? Thank you for taking the time to answer me.
