Gaining Weight with 30 Day Shred?!?
I am on day 9 of the 30 Day Shred. I am doing 20 min on my elliptical and the 25min or whatever it takes to do Level 1 of the 30 day shred. I have consistently been right around my calorie goal and have been drinking tons of water. Has anyone else gained while doing the Shred and if so, how long did it start to take before…

You want to lose a pound?
For every pound you want to lose, you'll need to eliminate 3,500 calories! ( Fitnessmagazine.com) I think I may put this into use to get beyond my plateau! That is 500 cals a day I could do that ( I have been slacking on the workout front, hurt my back a little while back and I have been nudging my way back in slowly (…

What about your hair???
I am about to complete my first round of P90X and love the workouts, but I keep seeing a bunch of women who do 2-3 workouts a day and I really want to be able to do that too. Even though I work I think I can fit 2 workouts a day in. I just have one question: WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE DO WITH YOUR HAIR??? I meen, I really sweat a…

Knee problems.
Hey everybody, I've had some problems with my knee lately. Whenever I would walk for 15 minutes or more, it would hurt pretty bad and I'd have to stop. That has since not been a problem, but I went for a run the other night, and now the pain is back full force. So if anyone could tell me: 1) What this pain might be (it was…

Couch to 5 K
I am getting bored with the elliptical, so I decided to start running. I overdid it a bit and the result of this gave me a mean case of the shin splints. I have heard many MFPers talking about the Couch to 5K program and I think it looks awesome! My only question though, is I would like to run 4 times a week instead of the…

So normally I have this sweet ab routine that hits my whole core...i feel sore for about two days after and then I'm ready to go again.

Shoe Recommendations
Help a girl out....what is the best running shoe, tennis shoe, or cross trainer in your opinion??? I LOVE my Reebok EasyTone tennis shoes (super comfy) BUT they do not provide the most stability (when doing things like Insanity) and I have terrible shin splints so I don't know if they are the best for running. I'd…

30 day shred---what do you think?
I recently purchased the Biggest Loser 30 day Shred but haven't done it yet. I have been doing Zumba for 3 weeks and love it, but I thought I could do the video when I can't get to Zumba or just to mix things up a bit. Any opinions out there?

[ P90X ] Can I start with this?
My situation: I've done martial arts in the past. I've as recently as 2006 been in enough good shape to do a full gym workout (cardio and weights) and immediately go to a karate class and have fun, not being tired or anything. Sadly, since then, I've degraded to the point where a flight of stairs will get me at least…

Waterproof mp3 player for swimming!
Can anyone recommend one they use? I've been looking on amazon at a fairly cheap case which is just like a plastic bag with seals on it, however the reviews are either 10/10 or terrible..

I wish I had my own private gym.
I live in an apartment so building a gym isn't a solution. I think there should be a gym within a gym...like apartments. You rent your own little gym that's got it's own locker room, one treadmill, one elliptical, one stairmaster, one set of weights and benches. One of everything that a regular gym has. And only you and…

To pump or not to pump...with a cold
My son has had a cold. I woke up this morning and can feel it coming on. I started on Zicam to hopefully shorten the length of it.
