P90X - Core Synergistics
Hi to all myfitnesspals, Last night I did Core Synergistics. I have a HRM but it doesn't calculate calories burned (I'm getting a new one). Trying to calculate what my approximate burn was. I know it won't be accurate, just looking for a range. Anyone have any idea? I'm 33, 195 lbs. My max heart rate was 161 and I stayed…

So I thought I had gotten the Walk away the pounds 1 and 2 mile DVD from NetFlix. Imagine my surprise when I popped in the DVD and it was the 3 mile Super Fat Burning one!

How do I log my time on Wii EA Sports Active?
Hi Everyone, I use the Wii EA Sports Active 2 for my main exercise source. Here's my dilemma: on any given day, the program will tell me how long that day's workout is - usually it's about 30 minutes. However, that's 30 minutes where you do an exercise, then they stop the clock. Then they introduce the next exercise. Then…

How much is too much?
Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on TOO much exercise daily and the food intake to go with it. I like to exercise and sometimes do 1-3 hours. Lots of it is walking fast on the hills around here and I'm trying to add some running. In recent past, I have been following Weight Watchers TO THE LETTER and was running 5-7…

What is your *Personal* Experience with a Trainer?
Just to give you an idea - I work out 3x a week for an hour. (1) with the trainer, (2) on my own. If I can squeeze a day of cardio on top (even as simple as walkng the block), I will. on my personal workout days, I average about 30m strength training and 30m cardio. Some things I learned with a trainer: 1. Personality…

Does it matter if I'm doing 12 min miles?
I'm only 5'0" so I have short legs and can't cover as much distance as most people. LMAO! That's my excuse! :laugh: So shouldn't I just be happy with running 11-12 min miles? I'm so jealous of other people running 6 min miles. I just want someone to saw "awwww it's ok" :happy: I'm training for a half marathon so I figure…

Logging work related exercise - HELP???
Hi, I work at a school doing speech/language therapy. Every 25-30 minutes I walk to a classroom to return a child, then to another classroom to pick up another child, then back to my room. I haven't timed it but guesstimating it's a 5 minute walk, total (at least). I do this 11-12 time per day. Can this be logged as…

My class has become to easy!
Make that "too" easy. Anyway, this is a huge victory, but also a bit of a conundrum. My favorite Zumba class has suddenly stopped challenging me quite like it used to. I'm barely winded and that's even with doing jumping jacks between songs. It's definitely a vigorous class--I've been going for about 6 months and the…
