This morning at the gym I was consistently at 80%. (I am 26 and the HRM on the crosstrainer told me I was between 150-154bpm). I didn't feel…

Tracking exercise - high calorie burn!?
Hey everyone, When you track your exercise on MFP does the calorie counter take into account your weight? The calories burned always seems too high! I ran for 35 mins last night at a pace of 9.5mph and it told me I'd burned over 600 cals - surely this can't be right!? Thank you! Sarah x

Weight Lifting "Planning" and Listening to Your Body
I've had a number of requests to share my weight lifting plan... so I wrote a blog entry in response: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/guardup (if you like it, please vote or leave a note) The sum of it is that I don't plan my lifting routine. I assess how my body is feeling and decide then what to do. It occurred to me…
