I've lost almost 60 pounds and significantly improved my health in the last year. I'm a nutrition and fitness nerd, and I'm always interested in learning more.

Home exercises for training for indoor rock climbing I agree with you on all points, but I'm more specifically asking about home exercises. I also feel that my set of home exercises tends to exercise less useful muscles for climbing. (Eg I think my triceps are enormously stronger than my biceps from thousands of pushups.) The black diamond trainer looks pretty interesting. I do think my grip strength is weak, and they're pretty cheap. |

What kind of cardio exercises can be performed without a gym or fitness equipment? I know you said no equipment, but packing a jump rope shouldn't take up too much space in your luggage and is pretty good cardio. |

How do I lose Weight when I weigh 345lbs? @JohnP That said, some conditions like hypothyroidism can contribute to obesity and make losing weight extremely difficult. My mother has struggled with this for years, and getting treatment really improved her life. |

How do I lose Weight when I weigh 345lbs? @JohnP It's easy to let the perfect be the enemy of the good: most of the advice I've seen in all these answers is not exactly controversial. No one is saying she should take up Crossfit or run a marathon. The suggestions seem to range from "eat healthier" to "eat somewhat less" to "go on brief walks". It's conceivable that this could be bad advice for some obese people, but it sounds like Michelle is unlikely to seek medical help due to financial/insurance limits. Those are can be very real, especially for parents. |

Back pain when coughing I'd also add that looking at muscle charts is a godsend for focused back pain management. You can precisely target exercises and stretches to the affected muscles with a few Google searches. The iMuscle app for iOS is also great for this. |

Back pain when coughing I'd advise looking at yourself move with no shirt on in a full length mirror. Stand, walk, wear a backpack, do the stretches that help, and walk like you're hiking. Note what's different in your spine position and muscle exertion. Strengthen and stretch as appropriate. In my non-expert, non-medical opinion, it sounds like your quads, glutes and psoas are tight, so try stretching them more and strengthening your psoas. Different shoes might also help. Just my thoughts. I agree with @Informaficker that this is more medical advice than fitness. |

Back pain when coughing I'm not sure the difference between hiking and walking: level ground, off road, different shoes? |
