Cross Country Hiking vs Walking
What defines the difference? I've been entering "Hiking - cross country" to my exercise log when I walk through the deep snow or packed snow (not on a path, just snow packed down by snowshoers) and "Walking" whenever I'm on a flat surface. Hiking apparently consumes 95 more calories in half an hour than walking (at 3.0,…

Are there any good exercise programs that you all know of that are maybe 30 minutes or so a day, or any routine that I can stick to? I have never been an athlete and basically know 3 types of…

The weather is turning pretty lousy here for the night and the temperature is supposed to drop a lot through the night. It was beautiful this morning in the low 40s and down to teens probably tonight, which means that the roads will be quite slippery.

heartrate monitor and calorie counter (worth it)
Hi, I'm starting to work out and get back in shape and I was thinking about getting a heartrate monitor/calorie counter. I've been hearing all about 'fitness' and 'fat burning' zones and was wondering if it was just a ploy for fitness people to buy stuff or if it was actually real.

Importance of the "proper" running shoe
Bottom line up front...If you're running to lose weight, and have never been properly fit for a running shoe, you're cheating yourself out of a better running experience. I joined the Army in 1998 and as you can imagine, running is part of the sub-culture. Needless to say it's been a part of my life for the better part of…

Cardio: does it have to be all at once?
My only piece of cardio equipment is an exercise bike. I have never used it for more than 20 minutes at a time because I get too worn out and don't want to continue. I also have a huge attention span problem even though I'm careful to pick TV shows or movies that will be the most distracting to watch while I exercise. The…
