Sweating
I know that people are all different, but I'm noticing some people will log their excercises and comment about how much sweat was pouring out of them!

Body Pump
Can anyone advise how to log body pump in the exercise? I would have put this as strength but you need to put reps etc in. On various websites it says you can burn from 400-600 calories per class so I was going to put in 450. Should I just put it under cardio?

Then I mentioned resistance bands and she said that would be a better option. Does it really make a difference which one I…

Leg cramps
I skate roller derby. I sometimes skate 3-4 times per week. Recently I have started having major leg cramps like I have never had. I eat 2-3 bananas a day, take a one-a-day vitamin and magnesium supplement. It was suggested instead of eating bananas that I switch to a potassium supplement. Advice?
