I want to know What are the best fitness tips ?

Do what you enjoy.

Don't listen to your head telling you to quit.

Well, as a middle-aged woman whose distance running days are behind her, I'd say: diversify. Work your whole body with functional fitness, not X number of miles, or X lbs of weight, as the end goal.

I wouldn't have listened to that advice when I was young, though, so do with that what you will, lol.

Your legs aren't tired, your mind is. Your body is capable of far more than you ever imagined.

Accountability is key for me. I am way more likely to get my bit out of bed if I have someone waiting for me.

So much this.

You have to find something you enjoy, or you are never going to stick with it. Am I the most well rounded when 95% of what I do is running? Probably not. Would my fitness, strength, body, be more balance if I did other things? Probably. With that said, it's what I enjoy, and it's something I do without having to make myself do it. If I was forcing myself to do something because I felt like I had to, there's no way I would stick with it. 

Also, if you're trying to make overall drastic changes, pick one small thing at a time. Don't try & change everything at once, or you'll set yourself up for failure.

It's okay for it to hurt sometimes. Easy doesn't make progress.

Ladies, we're being trolled by people in Indonesia. This is one of them. I have no idea why. Maybe to spam the board later?

Do you mean the OP is posting from Indonesia and is a fake account?  Has this happened before?  What occurred?  I am confused.

I thought this sounded really spam-y but then I liked everyone's advice, lol. So can you maybe save all the replies even if you have to delete OP?

Yes. Yes. CEP has had at least 2 posts from accounts like this. It's been confirmed that they're from Indonesia from looking at their IP addresses.

ETA: I reported the post to disable the account, but leave the post.

Yeah, it seemed suspicious, but it wasn't all "click on this link here" like previous spam, so I figured, what the hell, I'll respond. As soon as I read it, I just thought "Well this is an odd question."  

[rosiebear]

Thank you for the information and for reporting it. I don't understand the point - maybe spamming is the end goal, but then why not just spam right away? Odd.

Maybe they are polling us to make a Buzzfeed list

Done. And yeah this one is also Indonesia. So weird. I'll try to proactively skim the member list as people join to see if others show up. So far there have been 3.

ETA: actually there've been 5.  This is one too: pandce.proboards.com/thread/331498/tell-mom-pregnant  

WTF

Maybe it's a summer intern from Shape magazine looking for article content
