I posted earlier about having crunchy noises in my knees when working out. I do not get pain with this - normally. But I have done some serious cardio today and now feel like I have pulled muscles behind my knee caps (only way I can explain). Do you think I would benefit from knee supports when doing hard cardio? I am…

Yet another 30 day Shred Question
Hi I have done this DVD for the last 2 weeks (I am a couple of days in, on level 2) and I have to say I dont find it very heart raising. I have seen the results that people get from it but are they doing other exercise too? I guess 25 minutes a day seems such a small amount for such big results. I put in alot of effort but…

Women doing P90X - Weight's Question
I'm just trying to figure out if I"m dogging it or not. My kids just bought me 20lb dumbbells for V-day. I'm about done with my first round of P90X and have done it with 15lb weights for the most part. Sometime I still need 10's. But am totally ready for 20's. I'm doing 15 reps with 15lbs.

I did it - Thanks P90X
I'm just about done with my first round of P90X and I haven't ran during it. I started it because of muscle imbalances which caused knee pain.

Workout lists....
Because of my lifestyle, I have very little opportunity to work out, except for some minor workouts for about 20 min in my living room involving weights, jumping jacks, etc. The list of workouts on MFP is impressive and informative. There is a slight oversight, and without trying to sound TOO crass, is there a proper way…

Exercising - minimum pulse-rate for fat burning..?
I'm a 48-year old bloke, and I do quite a bit of walking. However, due to other lifestyle issues, the weight gradually crept on and I ignored it, until this year when I discovered this site! I have read that to burn fat you have to exercise at 75 to 85% of your max heart rate - is this true? For me (220 - 48) my max heart…

Cleaning Gym Equipment?
I am about to start going to the gym. I was wondering if you have to clean every machine after you use them. I have heard that it is gym etiquette to clean each machine after use. Doesn't that interfere with your heartrate though? And my gym has a circuit section so if you had to do 3-5 minutes at each machine for 30…

Heart Rate Monitor
SO I really want an HRM but I don't have alot of money to spend. Walmart has one for about $30. Is it a waste of money? I do P90X and I take a Zumba class once a week. I would just like to have a general idea of how many calories I am burning.

Cardio vs Strength Training
Does it make any difference whether you do cardio or strength training first? One trainer said that I should do strength training first so I wasn't as tired and could give more effort. Another trainer said that I should do cardio first so that my muscles were warmed up and could give better performance. Does it make a…
