>>133003 Have you ever tried working out to see if it aggravates your TMJ? I have some TMJ problems as well occasionally, but I've never had it triggered from working out. Mine has always popped up from muscles cramping from poor posture (sitting and sleeping) or once from playing guitar way too much at a stretch. Honestly, I wouldn't lift weights either if I had to live with TMJ pain all the time, once when it hit me I couldn't sleep for 3 days because of the constant pain until I got some naproxen.
If that's how it is for you, consider upping your cardio to every day, possibly with weekends off. Day-on day-off training is for muscular growth, which doesn't have to be related to good old calorie burning cardio. Even if you don't get a full workout, you should get some exercise every day. I usually do a 20-30 minute workout (crossfit) except on days where I have martial arts.
