There is much more variance to the true calorie burn rate than knowing weight, age, and gender. There are just so many more factors. The real way to test/figure it all out is through keeping track of what you are eating and where your weight is, over a period of time. Totally. There’s more to WHOOP tracking than that, but you’re right that true precision comes from a deeper understanding of every aspect of intake and burning. I got in a five minute run today to recover after classes. Very fun. Also got some pushups in before bed. Time to sleep. Quote Link to comment

Been doing sedentary work for the past few years and it’s started to take its toll. Work, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat. Combining that with little to no exercise resulted in significant weight gain. My nephew was born earlier this year and the overall objective is to be around for him. Goal’s to build muscle while losing weight, if that’s possible. Quote Link to comment

I would first start with losing the weight by changing up your diet while also lifting weights to work on your muscles. Your body composition will change pretty drastically over a period of time if you are consistently losing weight while also working out, especially if you are just starting out. But the losing weight part all starts in the kitchen. hanzohattori12 1 Quote Link to comment
intimigator Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Today was the longest run I’ve ever ran. It’s also the one where my average and maximum heart rates were lowest. I finished it feeling exceptionally emotional and swelled with pride over what I have achieved and become as a person and, during the run, came to understand a lot about myself. I feel great, but I feel for the future me that will wake up in the morning and contend with the soreness. Reticently 1 Quote Link to comment
