Eating and Working out
Hey Everyone I just want some opinions on a few things: 1. Do you eat then work out or visa versa? (or does it really matter) 2. Do you give yourself a cut-off hour where you dont eat past a certain time at night? 3. Can you over work out... Is it ok to work out every single day? Thanks in advance for all your opinions and…

Is there such thing as TOO much variety?
Through out the years I have collected A LOT of fitness "stuff" and I am wondering if I have too many things to choose from and maybe that is causing problems for me! On any given day I have access to two gyms (one has amazing classes all day - spinning, kickboxing, yoga, pilates, bootcamp, latin dance, hip hop) and the…

Really struggling with early Zumba...
I have been getting up at 4:30 so that I can do my workout before getting ready for the day, but I am REALLY struggling with doing Zumba that early. I'm just not awake and alert enough to really get into it like I normally would. Because I'm not getting into it, I don't feel like I'm benefiting as much. Any thoughts on how…

I'm a runner and that is my love but I'm thinking about cross training by doing the p90x maybe 1 or 2 times per week to tone up... Will I get any benefits from doing it only that often?? And if so...which ones would best for me to do? Or just mix it up? Thanks :)

30 Day Shred fitness 'tools'
I just ordered a "30 Day Shred" DVD and I should have it tomorrow. I was just wondering ahead of time what 'tools' ... (weights, resistance bands, stability ball, etc.) I might be needing.

Attn: BodyBugg, BodyMedia and other Calorie Tracker Users
This is for those of you who use an electronic Calorie Tracker like BodyBugg or BodyMedia: I have stepped up my training regimen and noticed over the past 2 weeks that my BMR has gone up 200 points. So if I do nothing all day, I am now burning just over 2000 calories instead of just over 1800. I do expect a higher BMR when…

Posting Articles and Fair Use of Copyrighted Material
A number of people on this site have a habit of copying and pasting entire articles from other sites and then posting them here on the MFP forums. I realize that intellectual theft and plagiarism are the backbone of the internet, so I suspect I am tilting at windmills here, but it would be nice if folks followed some…

too much exercise as I cant eat all those calories?
Hey guys I am getting my head around eating some of the calories burned through exercise which I am trying to do so I have tracked it in a diary for the last 5 days and to me it seems crazy to eat high calories! I know if I eat between 1200 to 1400 a day I can maintain my weight with no exercise so here is my workings out…

losing weight from cardio and weights
I use to lift weights as my workout but never really lost weight. I toned up but never lost any inches or pounds. Lately, I have been doing just cardio so I can get rid of the fat first, then add the weights later on, just so I know that it is muscle I am gaining instead of fat. My biggest problem area is the tummy. Should…

Injured ankle = no cardio = frustated vent
I’m feeling really frustrated right now. Just last week I finally broke through a plateau that plagued me for over a month with my first new loss again. I’d started doing a bit of calorie shifting as well as eating back much more, to most, of my exercise calories each day (I still leave a buffer since I don’t have an HRM…

Has anyone completed Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred?
I am looking to buy it. On amazon it has a couple thousand 5 star reviews. I probably will try it, but I am looking for people who have completed it as it advertised. Did it work? What were your results? Is it worth buying?

Accuracy of the calories for "Circuit training" in exercise?
Hey Everyone! :) I've been doing a Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zones" DVD twice a week as my toning exercise, and logging it on here at circuit training. The circuit training itself is 40 minutes of intense circuit training, and 40 minutes of it is 411 calories. Is this correct?

Stationary workouts?
Hey all, I usually have four hours at work where we are completely dead. I was actually wondering because of this are there workouts I could do that don't need much...movement if that makes any sense? I work at a bank, so full out squats and whatnot are absolutely frowned upon, but I feel as if I could benefit from some…

How much activity does the calculation include...? What coun
If someone puts in that they have a desk job, I wouldn't think that the calculation is made assuming that they sit at the desk at all waking hours, immediately to teleport to bed afterwards. I would assume it takes in to account walking to the car, walking to the bathroom, getting up to answer the phone...that sort of…

Anyone new to P90x?
My husband is a Marine and I used to run marathons. However, both of us are out of shape and have not been physically active for the past year...hence, why we joined myfitnesspal! We are looking to start this P90X but am wondering what were the results for those doing both P90X and Myfitnesspal. Do tell! Any advice?

Such a BIG difference?
I just finished using my elliptical trainer and I used my HRM to calculate my calories. After 30 minutes the HRM said I had burned 166 calories (I'm about 166 lbs right now). Both the machine and MFP calculations for 30 minutes are for well over 300 calories (they are both very close and the machine doesn't ask for my…

Calories Given By Elliptical's Computer Accurate?
I have an elliptical machine that I do most of my workouts on. Can I honestly trust the calories that the little computer tells me? Some of the higher end machines ask me to plug in my age and weight in the computer. Mine doesn't. I heard somewhere that the little computers are actually a percentage too high (not sure what…

Body Electric Exercises
Does anyone here do the Body Electric Exercises? I'm true believer of these! When I was in high school Margaret Richard, the host, helped me lose 25 lbs! I'm working with her again (her tapes) to do it again! I would love to hear your comments on these workouts if you have done them in the past or if you're doing them at…

MFPers, If You Have A Heart Rate Monitor Don't Forget 2...
Hey. Just a little reminder. Remember to change your weight settings in your HRM personal settings as you shed those pounds. It slipped my mind and I haven't changed it since I got it so my numbers have to be slightly wrong. :grumble:

Walking - Faster or Farther?
I have been walking now for about 3 weeks, 4-5 times a week. I am ready for more but am not sure if "MORE" should be walking the same distance faster, or walking farther for a longer period of time. I started out doing maybe 1/2 mile a day, then increased that to a mile. Today I maintained the same pace, but walked for 2…
