Exercises you find most challenging?
I can do just about every form of cardio, except running/jogging. I can do it in place at home, but when it comes to running outside its a bit more challenging.

Do you take any days off?
Ok weird question! Do you take any days off while trying to lose from working out? If so, do you take off scheduled days (say the weekend) or just work out each day?

Here's a good question for ya!
So this morning I went snowshoeing for 40 minutes. I found snowshoeing in the database which is great, but I also had my daughter in the backpack while I went. I normally enter "carrying infant or 15lbs" when I walk with her. She actually weighs close to 30lbs. What should I do? Enter both for 40 minutes each or just one?…

Has anyone…
