P90X and Insanity Not for people who aren't fit?
Okay so this post may come off wrong and some may not agree but that's just fine. I just recently came across one of my MFP buddies that told me her coach don't believe in her and she is doing Insanity but because she is not fit and in shape she can't do it. Also the fact that another one of the people she coach who is in…

The scale isnt moving
I have working out now for 3 weeks, I have cut out all sodas, fast food, candy, choc's etc. When I go to the gym, I start with 40 minutes of cardio either on the elliptical or the treadmill, then I alternate with upper body and lower body.

Getting "THERE"....where that is exactly I don't know!
So I was on the treadmill this morning doing my normal Tuesday ladder training. All proud of myself at the end of my 35 minutes that I had done 5 x's 1 min at 7.0 and even 2 x 30 seconds at 7.5...personal best for me, so wooohooo! Then during cool down it dawned on me that someone in our running club runs at that 7.5 or…

Anyone doing Zumba?
I am planning to attend my first class tomorrow night. I've been working out at the gym for the last 4 weeks and have improved hugely from where I started but now I need to 'spice' things up a bit before I get bored of the routine. My personal trainer is doing boxercise with me next week which I used to love. Zumba is…

P90X, first-timer, day 2 & 3 down
So now I find myself with half of P90X's 6 workouts for Week One behind me. Day 1 was pretty horrible for me, though it is to be expected. I had to pause a lot, walk off high heartrates, etc. Felt like I spent a lot of time coming slowly to the realization that it's OK to do only 4 reps versus their 12 as long as they are…

Combination Weight Training Moves?
I'd like to streamline my weightlifting routine a little more. I've been doing arms one day (with back), legs on another (with abs). I'd like to try intermixing them through combo weight lifting moves. Any ideas of moves that work both your upper and lower body at the same time? Let me know your favorites. Shannon

Question: Legs after exercise?
Okay, so I'm a pretty big girl- 5'8'' 315lbs, but I'm wondering if this doesn't happen to more people than myself. After I work out, decent workouts, like 20ish minutes, my legs feel really funny. They feel tingly and itchy and they even turn red. Does that happen to anyone else? I'm thinking maybe it's the massive amount…

i really need to get this off my chest...
I really don't mean to offend anyone, but there is something that has been working my last nerve. this ongoing arguement over eating back burned cals is out of control. when you put in how much weight you wanted to lose upon registering for this site, MFP automatically set you up with a calorie deficit. (the difference…

Elliptical
The elliptical in the exercise database can be quite misleading for people. It automatically fills in the calories if you put in the time. However that may be really off. if I am taking it easy (not sweating or breathing heavy, it doesn't burn near the calories that the exercise database calculates. I use a SportsArt E82…
