So about a year or so ago I started experiencing what felt like plantar fasciitis regularly. My go too shoes had been Saucony Cohesions and I was on my 2nd pair. Id not had any foot issues previously so I did see my doctor, thinking it was my weight tbh, but she didn't think so and looked into switching shoes

Tried some Asics (dont remember which ones) but they killed my achillies tendon, to the point I could barely walk the next day after wearing them for any length of time. It was like the back of my ankle was on fire.

Switched back to Saucony but to wides and using ortho inserts. That helped some, but was still painful and the shoes were too big everywhere but on my toes.

Did some research and read that wide toe box shoes can help so bought some Altra Fwd Vitas a few months ago and for the most part, I love these shoes. But I ended up not wearing them as much as i intended and am starting to again experience foot pain when I do. The arch on one foot will get very sore, and yesterday the outer part in line with my pinky toe ached like sore bones.

Here's the thing, I also have chucks, crocs, and two pairs of wide toe box "barefoot" shoes and can walk in any of these for and hour or more at a time without issues. So what the heck? I thought cushion would be better especially for when I'm standing in place at work, but it seems like my feet hate cushion?

We do not care what your gender identity is compared to the person to whom you are speaking. There seems to be some misconceptions on what counts as sexual harassment when the commentor is a woman talking to another woman, or too a male OP.

Let us clear that up right now, that is STILL harassment and will not be tolerated. If you make inappropriate comments you will face mod action, up to and including a permanent ban.

I sit at a desk for work, my hobbies are video games, drawing, and table top games, so all sitting. I'm very shrimpy

I notice if I'm standing in place for a while (ex. long cooking session) or walking for a while (like my 45min dog walk in the am) my back feels VERY stiff and its actually a bit sore to bend over. Similar feeling to doms after a hard workout, so not sharp like an injury, just stiff.

I'm making a concerted effort to get more core work in, but wanted to check if there were any good lower back exercises to add in.

Current routine is strength training 3X a week, one full body day, 1 upper body day, 1 lower body day

Full: V hack squat Cable row Lat pull down Leg curl Leg extension

Upper: Bench press Shoulder press Chest fly Reverse fly Bicep curls

Lower: Hip thrust RDL somersault squat Cable Hip abduction

I've been looking at a lot of cutesy/unique proxies, especially for things like lands, on Etsy but it looks like a LOT of proxy printers are using AI art and Id rather find someone who either draws their own art, or gets their prints from actual artists.

New player, this will be my first DIY deck but I did look at other people's decks to get ideas. Some of the cards were ones that my fiance already had in his collection so if there are cards that seem nonsensical that might be why. Going for a stompy deck with decent ramp

I'm going to be operating a fitness subreddit specifically for plus size/obese people. I know that often times people become obese due to mobility issues, or have mobility issues due to obesity and those things make it hard to get into fitness, even knowing it would be a huge benefit to them.

What are some good beginner friendly resources or exercises that I could share in the sub for people who may have these issues? I'm not looking for weightloss info, just exercise for now.

I saw them on Instagram. I don't do back squats because I've injured myself before and I'm not keen on a repeat. I usually do stationary lunges and use the hack squat. But I saw these on Instagram and tried them out and holy shit my legs BURN.

But are they actually going to be effective for quad development?

Looking for some shorts recommendations but might have too high of expectations lol

Losing weight and my horizons are widening but also my expectations/preferences are getting higher? 5'3" and I'm in-between a size 14-16 right now, I think I'm in an XL in most things, but in brands that run smaller an XXL

What I want: 1. affordable because I'm still losing weight and will eventually replace these too.

2. ACTUAL tummy control, not just "gentle sculpting" or smoothing that so many of these "buttery soft" lines are advertising and not the kind of tummy control that's just the waistband being extra tight. I want the WHOLE stomach area to have compression

3. An inseam of at least 5", I got fat thighs, they'll ride up otherwise.

What I don't want: 1. Front seams. Soft stomach and fupa area don't agree with front seams.

2. Dramatic scrunch butts, I don't mind a little glute defining or like a hidden scrunch, but I don't want an atomic wedgie or something resembling a sphincter on the back of my shorts
