Hey Shelly, my short answer is you are not in a deficit if you are not loosing weight.

So my first suggestion would be to get a scale, just need a basic scale no fancy stuff. Then get it to the habit of stepping on the scale 5-7 times per week.

For each week your weight will fluctuate, therefore you take the median (middle number) and that’s your weight for that week.

Doing this while eating the same amount protein and calories (I’m not that concerned with the amounts for fat and carbs as long as the calories are equal). You want to track protein as this will help you stabilise your blood sugar, keeps you satiated, and helps you build muscle from your fat storage.

When you have two weeks of weights and tracking calories/protein you can make your adjustments. If your weight is increasing or the same, drop a few hundred calories (the less calories, the easier it will be) and if your weight is dropping you are in a caloric deficit and time is your ally 🙏🏻

SoMe is toxic, you get to hide out babies your screen…

But then it’s nice you can come here and get your praises 😉

And you inspire us all, being that old and still walking is truest amazing 😂😂🤪

IMHO just drink more coffee ☕️ or take caffeine. Caffeine has an appetite repressive effect, meaning you won’t feel as hungry.

Alternatively eat a half head of shredded lettuce at every meal, that should fill up your stomac and it comes with some (not many) nutrients 😁

In other words I’m not a fan 😁

Rise n’ Shine ✨ mate 💪🏻

Love how you been able to ‘switch’ it up and start your “workout week” on a Saturday, I’m way too OCD for that 😂

Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏🏻

The one from Crossrope?

Hey Dustin 💪🏻

From my point of view you need time to get the hang of if, most of what I see if fine!

Looks like your rope might be a bit long, you hit the ground far in front of you (but hard to tell from that angle).

Also if it’s a possibility try to get a rope with some more weight to it, when the rope itself weighs more it gives a greater feedback as to where it is in the rotation and can help you time your jumps better.

There might be a few other things before you jump like Dan the Man but most will come from a shorter rope and time 👍🏻

Just keep doing the thing and you will be great 🙏🏻

YES!!!!

That’s the problem, I’m kinda non/off 🙈

But yes I need to approach it with some more balance and maybe not go so hard all the time

First off, it’s a tool that guesses based on what data it produces itself 🙂 with any wrist based HR monitor there are great varriences in what it measures (unfortunately) so take everything with a grain of salt.

That said, the load focus are a great way to switch up your training to cover all the bases. The training load are a combined assessment of the three types of load (anaerobic, high aerobic, and low aerobic) and looks at how you’ve been exercising in the past (short term) to determine if you need to do more or less.

End of the day, I mostly use the calorie tracker of a workout to give me an idea of my intensity paired with my perceived effort. And as a silent alarm clock not to wake up the wife too early 😁
