How do you log HIIT on the elliptical?
I have been wondering this and can't seem to get an answer. I plan on doing a 15 minute HIIT workout tonight. Should I just go by the calorie burn it says on the screen? I don't know if that's accurate or not. I have a HRM but it's not reliable (strap always falls off).

Nauseous when working out..?
Today during my workout I started feeling kind of nauseous and generally uncomfortable. This of course just snowballed into a "i'm stopping halfway." end to my session.

I want to love running
I’ve never been one to run just for the fun of it, and I never saw the point because I hated running (memories of running the mile in elementary school haunt me). Now I’ve turned a new page and want to run, even though I still don’t like it:grumble: To motivate myself to start running, I signed up for Crazy Legs, an 8k run…

Aerobic vs. work out video
When you do a work out dvd and there isn't a listing for it in the cardio section would you just put it under aerobics? caltsthenics? or just not? I'm trying to figure out the right category I know it's hard to judge calories burned for these activities since there is no way to know how hard a person works out.

Exercise Ball
I am VERY limited in my exercise (back). I've been doing simple yoga and stretching every day. Doc said I can start using an exercise ball and gently add easy stretches as I get stronger.

Calories going down
Hi All, I have been doing a "Firm" workout for two weeks now. In the beginning I could burn about 420 calories. Now today I burned 357. The number of calories I burn has been slowly coming down. I don't think I can increase intensity, so do I just need to lengthen my workout time?

how come sex isn't listed as an exercise?
I'm not trying to be dirty or explicit, but I was just wondering why sex wasn't listed as an exercise on the database. I mean, if cleaning is on here, it would make sense to add it. Plus, I bet our spouses/significant others would enjoy the benefits once we actually realized how many calories we could burn and we add that…

Water weight and sore muscles.
So it happened again... inevitably, I gain a few pounds the day after I work out. Really, any time I'm sore, I'm up a few pounds. It's incredibly discouraging, and I've abandoned countless exercise routines because of it, because I get a positive reaction from the scale when I do! I'm in a Biggest Loser competition, and it…
