Welcome to r/Fitness - Reddit's #1 Health and Fitness community!
This is a self-help community. Before asking questions, posters will be expected to have made a good faith effort to find an answer to their question on their own - and show it by explaining where they looked, what they found, and why they feel it wasn't enough. Remember that the people who will be answering your questions are volunteering their free time and knowledge.

- The r/Fitness Wiki and FAQ. The knowledgeable and experienced members of the r/Fitness community have spent years compiling information about a variety of questions and topics into one central, easy to find location for the benefit of newcomers. Most questions that people come to r/Fitness looking for answers to can be answered directly by the Wiki and FAQ, or by applying the information found in it. It will always be the best first place to look for answers.
- Searching past threads. r/Fitness has over a decade of discussion threads that are very likely to have answers to your questions if our Wiki and FAQ does not. Remember when searching that fitness and exercise are not fast moving topics like tech would be, and even though some discussions may be several years old they are still going to be relevant today.
- Google. Yes, really. Google excels at being a source of answers for common fitness and exercise questions, such as lists of exercises and alternatives, foods with certain criteria, equipment and reviews thereof, and so on.
The Rules
The rules for r/Fitness can be found here.
r/Fitness is a high traffic community that is actively and heavily moderated to maintain some amount of quality control. When making a post or comment, you will be expected to understand and abide by these rules. Our rules pages have both a short version and a longer, detailed version. In particular, make sure to review Rule #0 - No Threads That Are Answered by the Wiki, Searching Threads, or Google and Rule #5 - No Questions Related to Injury, Pain, or Any Medical Topic, as these are the two most commonly broken rules by new users.
