Hi there, I have a question for you all. I'm going to start working at a stockroom and my job will require heavy physical labour for about 8-12 hours a day, 5 days a week. So my question is: what food/drinks do you people recommend to keep me going during the day? I'm not a bodybuilder but I am vegan for about 3 years now. Thanks in advance

Hey Everyone, Total newb here and to the world of Veganism. Looking for some help here. I keep reading that Soy in "large" amounts is bad for men etc etc. Except I don't know how much is "too"much if at all. Can I eat Tofu, Tempeh, vegan ground, etc at every meal? Mostly just to make sure adequate protein intake. Any literature, advice, studies etc would be greatly appreciated! thank you!!!

Do any of you guys who lift weights do Yoga? I'm looking to apply yoga to my schedule once or twice a week but I don't have a lot of money or access to any yoga classes and need to self teach. I'm looking for videos or websites with simple full body routines that cover all the basics in like 30-45min. Thanks.

I'm 65 now but as a young teenager was yer actual 97lb weakling, back then saw an ad in the tabloid paper for a free booklet on The Charles Atlas "Dynamic-Tension" Bodybuilding and Fitness Course, so sent for it. The booklet was a real convince and sent for the full system, but didn't have the discipline and forgot about it. A&E did a documentary on Charles Atlas which got me interested in Dynamic Tension again. I didn't really stick with it hard-core since I did lift weights a little but recently got into Hot Yoga and think the Charles Atlas system would go better than weights. It's basically a body weight system, the difference is self resistance exercise, inste…

Hi, i know this is a bit weird, but have you ever tried stair climbing workouts as a cardio workout? I have read a lot about it and it seems like a useful training for resistance and cardio. I often am lazy to go out and run in the cold and rain and i hate cardio machines because they are boring and static.. I tried to climb 150 flights of stairs in a day and i can say my heart was beating really fast and i felt really good.. Does anyone have some opinions about it?

I know there are mainly three types of exercise bikes in the market, upright, recumbent, and spining exercise bike. I am quite into cycling, so I think the spining one would be more helpful to my training. I read an article that says: While my family would like to use it as well, so I think a recumbent bike would be suitable for my family, because it has comfortable seat which is good for elderly users. So, to split the difference, I am planing to buy a crazysales Genki upright exercise bike, which is great for my home training, has adjustable resistance level, and safe enough for my family members. And what do you guys think? Among the three kinds of bikes, which on…

Hi folks! I'm a strength based athlete and am looking for some advice. Due to my other work I recently had to take some time more or less off from my regular training, and also had an extended period of having to eat out a lot/eat badly etc. During this time I gained 10lbs. I assumed this weight would fall off as soon as I resumed my regular routine, but I'm now 4wks in and while my strength has more or less returned (at least the weights I am lifting at the gym are back to the same they were before the break), the extra weight remains (in fact if anything I've gained a couple more pounds). While I'm obviously not thrilled with this for aesthetic reasons, I'm also reall…

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum but thought I'd sign up as I've enjoyed looking through some of the threads on here. I've lived a vegan lifestyle for just over two and a half years now. My starting weight is 68.5kg and I am 5ft 8.5inches tall. I started kung fu a couple of months ago and I am loving it. I train in Five Ancestors Fist and we also do Shoalin Five Animals. I currently train 3 times per week which equates to 5.5hrs per week. 1.5hrs on Monday night, 2hrs Wednesday night and 2hrs on Saturday lunch time. I haven't been doing this for long but it is already starting to tone up my body and I am feeling stronger. The training consists of about 50% body c…

I recently got into eating 80/10/10 diet and i start to notice feeling hungry all the time, after researching for a while i realize why. Basically, fruits are low in fiber but high in water content, hence why your stomach feels full. However, fructose are easily digest, so when you eat tons of fruits, what happen is that it gets absorb and digested easily and you shit them all out within an hour. So how you do solve the hungry issues? Well, if you need energy, eat tons of fruits for quick boost of energy. However, if you want a more stable diet with less hunger, then simply eat more black beans. Black beans are complex carbohydrates and VERY high in fibers. Eatin…

Hey guys ! So I am vegetarian for like 5 years and vegan for one year. I don't have weight to lose at all but I wanna be more toned, so I started to do a lot of sport (6 days per week, for one or two hours) since november but I don't have the results I want, it's better but it's so damn slow ... When I see that some girls in 4 months change totally their body, I am super disappointed by me. I mean I feel my abs but the little layer of fat on it doesn't wanna leave xD . So I started the Insanity Challenge, I begin the 3rd week and I hope now I will see results soon, but someone has an ideo of what I could do wrong ? Thanks you =)

My question is about stretching as you can tell by the subject. I recently sprained my lower back and have been out of commission for a while. I don't like taking drugs unless there is no other choice, so after three months of not being able to properly do cardio or weight lift, I finally went to a Naturalpathic Center. I received some acupuncture treatments and I feel great and I am ready to hit the gym again. One thing the Dr. told me is that I need to stretch which I couldn't agree with more. I have never really done any stretching and I need some advice on when to stretch (I believe after I work out but I'm not really sure, and what about on off days?) and what stretc…

Is anyone into winter sports? I snowshoe, XC ski (Nordic back country), downhill (alpine ski), snowboard, and skin (AT ski). I just got into skinning recently, and I have the hardest time staying warm on the way down. I find my body temp drops very quickly when my activity level decreases. I have to bring an extra shirt or two, extra jacket, glove liners, socks, and ski pants in a back pack on the way up, otherwise I end up shivering pretty bad on the way down. I generally have a hard time staying warm in winter. Fingers and toes especially as I probably have Raynauld's. Anyone else have these problem? Any suggestions?

Hey all, I'm looking for some cheap and basic gymnastics equipment. A friend of mine and I are renting out a studio space and are going to put a range of gear in there. I used to do a bit of gymnastics in school (a while ago) and of course it is very good for core strength. Looking for some mats obviously, a balance beam and probably a couple of other bits and pieces! Live in the Dublin area, so perhaps something close to there, or elsewhere is fine too.

So I have heard both yes and no to this question. Is swimming laps good for weight loss? In other words, if I'm at the gym and want to get some cardio in, is it just as effective as treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical etc?

Sharing article I just saw interviewing David Carter about his plant-based lifestyle transition and a sample of what he eats in a day. I noted that in his meal plan, there don't appear to be any pre-made protein/sports drinks or supplements -- possibly to avoid PED testing mistakes by not totally knowing what might be in them. Just beans, fruit, grains, veggies. Yeah, there are short cuts out there. Fortunately there are some good products out there for us as we learn more about plant-based eating to help with the transition. Don't let them become a crutch though....not rocket science. Just takes a little effort to learn. #BOOM http://bleacherreport.com/article…

Hi, I need help. I'm a 43 year old male. About 18 months ago I watched Fat Sick & Nearly Dead. I did the 60 day juice fast and lost 90 pounds. I went from a pant size 44 waist to 32. I never felt better! Luckily for me I didn't have any major health issues going into this journey. Previously I just felt like crap.....depressed, anxiety, fatigued, dizzy, cranky,sickly, really thought I was dying and would have to quit working. I have stayed right on track for a clean raw food diet and still look good! I did just finish Insanity twice (well almost twice-missed the last two weeks because I got sick from food allergies). My allergies are Wheat/Gluten (confirmed celiac), s…
