I love the sound of a man with a naturally deep voice, but with a lot of music I'm finding that they're really forcing their voice into the lowest register they can muster and it's very noticeable. I've been listening to some songs slowed versions and it's better than the forced sound I guess.
I'd love any suggestions, but I beg thee no country music....
I have struggled forever with low back pain, hip and knee pain. I severely neglected my health and physical condition for nearly a decade and now as I'm trying to get on track to being healthy, I have discovered just how badly hylermobility effects me. Due to a lot of muscle compensations and just low activity level for years, my glutes are like in the negative. My quads and hamstrings are taking over everything. I'm looking for workouts that isolate your glutes that don't put so much pressure on your knees. My knees are horrible. They sound like they're full of sand and gravem, and it's painful to do most exercises recommended for glutes. I tried asking this is a fitness subreddit specifying that I'm hypermobile and I got a bot telling me to look at their FAQs about building glutes which is all the stuff that hurts me. So that sucks. Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
I've been wearing bike shorts and an oversized tshirt which is fine, but I do a lot of legs and my skin gets irritated where it touches the machines, so I was wondering where everyone gets their plus size friendly leggings WITH POCKETS?
I'm 5'8 and a 16/18 ish. Alt/goth so any spooky vibes would be such a bonus 🖤
As a lady, how do I prevent leaving sweat prints on the equipment? Obviously I clean after myself, but if someone walked by before I can clean it, I don't want them seeing an entire stamp of my private parts. I also feel like it's gross and should be trying to prevent anything like that from getting on the shared machines.
I'm 28 F and I've lost 35lbs but I have loose skin from weightloss and pregnancy. I still need to lose around 50lbs to get to a healthy weight. I'm not sedentary, or weak, but I know nothing about weigh lifting, but I've been told it's the best way to help tone loose skin.
Just any and all advice would be great.
I am 29, female, 5'8, 237lbs. I'm a STAH mom with probably low/moderate activity level due to hypermobility and the pain that comes with it.
I've been using the myfitnesspro app for a few years and have been able to loose over 30lbs 2 separate times in that time. (Lost weight, got pregnant and gained it back, lost it back again and am looking to lose more)
The goals it's giving me now are >1,900 calories, >238g carbs, >63g fat, and <95g protein.
I do average close to that calorie mark, and fat, but with 100g or more protein and way under the carb mark.
I'm getting a walking pad and have gotten some ankle weights and wrist weights to try to incorporate more activity into my day in a safer way. My hypermobility means that at any moment a joint can slip and immobilize me completely, so long neighborhood walks or trips to the gym aren't really safe or reasonable options for me.
I (29, F) am 5'8, and have struggled with disordered eating probably all my life. I've been overweight since childhood. I hit 278 lbs and started my journey with weight loss. It's been a few years of fluctuation and one pregnancy later and now I'm kind of stuck now at around 237 lbs.
My main issue that I'm finding is that I am so hungry.
I'm that friend that can eat an obscene amount of food, and be cool to get dessert after.
What are your best low calorie but high volume meals?
I recently discovered the term for this, which I have been doing all my life. I'm almost 30 now, and have an entire adult life. I'm not sleeping well, and the daydreams have started to become more intense, and consuming the majority of my days and nights. When I start daydreaming, I'll do what I can to snap back into reality, but I see the disappointed faces of these people I love that don't exist and it's genuine heartbreak. This is so hard. What's wrong with me
I got married and had kids kind of fast. Dated a year, engaged almost a year, Married at 21, our first kid at 22. My marriage was terrible. I struggled with post partum depression severely. I've fought my way into the marriage being better, pretty good, actually, but I never wanted to win a war. I have 2 kids now with an okay age gap between them. I thought this was the life I wanted, but I find that I'm severely depressed and lonely. I daydream all day of what life could be like if I didn't get married or left instead of fighting. If I didn't have kids and I got to waste my money and just live freely. I love my kids, but I do not love being a mom. I know that I do not want more kids. Not now, or ever, but permanent options aren't on the table and it makes me so angry. "What if we want more in 5 years?" I don't want more in my 20's, why would I want more in my 30's? I have chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and I spent 60% of my time awake maladaptive daydreaming. I know my kids deserve better, I just resent rushing into this without living first because I thought this is all I wanted.
