MFP Cardio Calories Burned - Are they specific to me?
I assumed that MFP worked this way, but I'm looking for confirmation: Does MFP take into account all of my personal statistics when it estimates how many calories I've burned doing a particular cardio activity? Would 2 different people get two different calculations? (I have purchased a heart rate monitor watch - EKG…

So little calories burned
I recently got a polar heart rate moniter. I really like it, but the calories burned according to it are so much less the the equipment or this site say. It frustrates me, I was on the treamil for 75 minutes today and only burned 480 calories. The treadmil said quite a bit more and its at the gymn and a really nice piece…

Question about walking
Hi fellow MFPers! I walk to work everyday, which according to Mapmyrun.com is about 1mile from my house to my work, and I walk it going and coming back (~2miles/day)...I am so used to this walk that I don't even know if it should be counted toward my daily exercise, especially since it doesn't really feel much like a…

Tracey Anderson
I've been given the 30 day bootcamp book with DVD, tried the mat routines (ouch in a good way) but find the cardio dance a bit unstructured compared to other DVDs she doesn't speak so I'm just bouncing about copying her, has any one else tried it? I think I'll carry on with the toning excercises but jog with the dog for my…

Polar FT4 HRM Question
Hello and goodmorning, quick question for anyone who has or has used a polar ft4 HRM.... I just got one this weekend and used it twice now. I love it. It tells me where my heart rate is and how many calories I have burned during my workout.....it is a way different number from what the treadmill/elliptical - so I am hoping…

Insane February! Who is with me?
(Re-posted to see if we can get a couple more people on board:) So....I have the Insanity program. I was very excited to get it (cheap on Craiglist, lol). I did three whole days...about three months ago. Now it is just a dusty box of guilt on top of my TV. I really want to do it, and do it every day, but I have absolutely…

Bodybugg vs. Polar FT7 -- advice needed
I want to get a new HRM (I currently use the watch style that I have to keep pushing the button to track my HR). I hear the Bodybugg is quite accurate, but have also heard good things about Polar.

Cardio alone or paried with weights
I have started MFP about 3 weeks ago and have lost 12 pounds so far. First it was 6, then 4, then 2. I am wondering why the downward trend. I have been doing about an hour of cardio 3 or 4 times a week. In the beginning I was doing cardio and weight training (more high weight low reps) and now its just been cardio. Is that…

Comcast On Demand recommendations?
I'm thinking of starting some morning exercise a few times/week, but I don't want to buy anything. Does anyone use any of the routines on Exercise TV (free on Comcast)? Any recommendations for a beginner? *I have a yoga mat, block, and some 2 lb. hand-held weights. I don't really want to try yoga again until I'm a little…

100 push ups / 200 sit ups / 200 sit ups
After the various threads that have started I looked at the programme... It just strikes me that 100 good push ups on your toes are a lot harder than 200 sit ups or squats... I could knock out 200 squats and sit ups now at the snip of a finger if I had to but 100 push-ups are a bit of a different story?

Power 90 or P90X
I am having a hard time making a decision on whether I should get Power 90 or P90X. I am fairly new to the fitness game, so Power 90 seems geared more for beginners. However, I am really motivated & have been doing well on my own so far, so I am up for a challenge. I know they are both made by the same company, so they…

P90X Comments
Hey everyone! So... I love circuit, interval, and H.I.I.T. training for my workouts (basically anything that will kick your @$$), so after hearing so many positive comments about P90X, I'm wondering what you liked and disliked about the program, and if it worked for you? I thought you needed certain kinds of equipment for…

P90X Ab Ripper
What school of thought are you...I hate it but I love it or I just hate it? I am just starting to be able to finish all the reps in this workout. I am starting to feel my core tighten up and become more solid. Less loose change in the cage. Tony's workout is so much better than mindless crunches and sit ups. I know there…

You can buy the DVD at either Target or WalMart for only $9, roughly the same as online! That means if you decided *right now* you…

Has Anyone Tired the Workout video games like Kinect or WII
:happy: My kids have the x-box Kinect and you can get work games for them I'm not one for workout exercises and I'm definitely way to self conscious to go to a gym but I thought if anyone had tired these and had some success I might give it a go seeing as we already have one of the systems.

Calories burned doing Insanity??
I was wondering how many calories you are burning doing Insanity. I dont' know if there is a problem with my HRM or what, but on average I am burning around 300 calories during each workout (my husband is burning twice that many with each workout). I am sweating my butt off, my heart is pounding out of my chest, and my HRM…
