MFP Missing Common Exercises?
Is MFP missing common exercises or are they just under more technical names? I can't find push-ups or pull-ups under either category. I did manage to find sit-ups under ab crunches, though.

need exercise advice with a sciatic nerve problem
I'd been doing quite well with moderate exercise and using myfitnesspal to help with controlling my diet. I lost weight and got to where I'm happy. Now for the last 6 weeks I haven't been able to exercise because of a nagging sciatic nerve. Does anyone know some good exercises that I could do that won't add to the…

music at gym
When I work out I (like many) listen to music; I like to stay with the beats which can make me go faster than normal. I sometimes get in my zone and realize that I have let a little bit of my bad singing voice slip out :ohwell: . I want to be courteous to others working out but I also don't want to short myself. My…

Valuable lesson learned
When I first started-back in august/september. I posted a topic about the crunching noise in my hip when I did certain moves in Tae Bo. I was told, that it happens, as long as it doesn't hurt you are ok. I felt weird about it, but talked myself into ignoring the sounds. NOW I have been seeing a chiropractor for two weeks…

Heart Rate Monitor
Where can I find a decently priced HRM?? I live in a small town, so unless it's at Target or Wal-Mart, I'll be ordering online. Also, what are the pros and cons of having a wrist vs one that straps on to the chest? I know the chest one will drive me NUTS while I'm exercise and irritate my skin (I have sensitive skin...),…

Work out all at once or different times
I'm curious if it's a huge difference in working out different times of the day! Laterly I've been doing 20 minutes in the morning of either the treadmill or arm or leg workouts on the Kinect. Then in the evening/night, I'll either do 20 minute or 45 minute Zumba or the Kinect or an hour or maybe 30 minutes on Dance…

Still Tired
I'm eating better, I have lost some weight and I'm working out a few times a week and I'm still tired. I have had blood work drawn so I know its nothing like that. But I have no motivation or energy. I worked out this morning for 25 min and I now have no energy. So I went to the mall to take a walk since it was cold and I…

I work as a resident assistant in a memory care unit and do a lot of walking. the pedometer i have does distance, calories (although not sure how accurate this can be because from the little i know about this, it is not calculated on METS). I usually…

does daily cardio reduce your metabolism/increase cortisol?
so much conflicting advice.. if i was to burn 400-600 calories a day, 5 days a week at the gym would this be a bad thing? the 'clean and lean' diet dictates that this increases cortisol, which encourages the body to store fat. friends have also utter the dreaded words 'lower metabolism'. i always thought cardio increased…

Circuit training.
I just discovered Circuit training and I love it. It incorporates weights, cardio, and ab work in one 50 minute work out. It burns lots of calories and is giving me the shape I want. The one I use is "The Firm Bootcamp- Max calorie burn". It did make me rather sore at first but the more I do it, the easier it gets. I do 2…

Is it normal for this to happen (is it the fitter you get the more calories you burn doing the same workout) and how does the hrm know this…

Ladies ...... Sports bra recommendations?
Up until now, I've been wearing the ones from Target. However, I'd like more support and, while it isn't an absolute requirement, it would be nice if it was flattering. I'd like something reasonably priced but, at this point, I'm willing to shell out the $$ for something that does the job. I'm 5'3", 120lbs, and 36D, if…

Little confused about the excercise diary
So i noticed that, when you set your goals, it asks you how many times a week you plan to work out. I'm taking P.E twice a week, so I put two workouts a week. Does this mean that I shouldn't add calories that I burn while at those classes? I'm a little worried that the calories it automatically factors into my daily goal…

C25K Week 4
Hi I just did my first day of week 4 in the C25K program and I just need to tell someone how crazy it is. I am dripping sweat as we speak. I did every work out 5 times a week instead of 3 thinking it would help me adjust better but this one still kicked my butt. It makes me nervous to think what weeks 5-9 hold. Maybe I…
