My goals on the bodybugg are set up as follows: Calories burned: 2050 Activity: 1 hour Step Count: 10,000. When I exercise I usually blow these goals out…

HRM suggestions please
I'm ready to purchase my first HRM and I'm looking for suggestions/information. Do I need to purchase one specifically made for women (or are those just for very petite ladies - my wrist measures 6.5inches)? Are the ones with a chest strap more accurate (and, if so, are they still convenient/easy to use)? What do you use…

XBox vs Wii
O.K. I'm getting ready to take the plunge for one of these goodies and I can't decide. I want the Wii mostly for Zumba (even though I've never done Zumba on the Wii), and I have played Wii bowling before!

Home Workouts - The Governor has declared a State of Emerge

WHAT IS NEXT?! After 30 day shred?
Ok, my question is - what you do after you are done with 30 day shred program? I've completed it about a month ago, was very happy with myself. Then I had vacations, gained some lbs and now I'm starting over a 30 day shred again. So, after I'm done again, should I keep doing level 3 or buy new DVDs?! What is your…

Shin Splints/Stress Fracture
Calling all those that have experienced shin splints or a stress fracture. About 3 weeks ago I was working and felt some mild pain on the inner lower right leg.

How about some Body Combat love?
I have seen many posts here about the merits of Zumba, Shred, Yoga, Pilates, PX90, etc...I just want to say that if you have a chance to attend a Body Combat class, you won't regret it.

To eat or not to eat after an intensive workout??
The workout I am referring to is one that takes more than 30 or 40 minutes. I am talking about a two day, 220 mile bike ride, or a weekend of intensive backpacking.

Hi. I have been seeing a lot of posts on Turbo Fire and I was thinking about starting the program. Can anyone give me some feedback on the program? What kinds of workouts does she do? I did Tae Bo awhile back and I didn't really enjoy that, so I wondered if it was like that at all. Thanks!!:smile:

Watching The Biggest Loser whilst working out......
I have to tell you that this works for me. If I'm not at the gym on the weekend and I decide to bust out the cross trainer/elliptical at home I always seem to lose interest and don't put much effort in despite blasting my favourite music (I always make sure I put the effort in at the gym tho). Well.....this weekend I…
