Recording time climbing stairs
How do you record #steps or time climbing steps into the diary? I've decided to start taking the stairs here at work and at least twice a day I just go climb the stairs to the top floor to work in a little more exercise into my busy day. But I don't know how to record it in the diary as I don't see just plain old stair…

Several Sites for Newbie Runners
If you've been thinking about getting into running and not sure the best way to get into it, here are some sites to help you. This first site worked for many people here and myself.

fat burning zone myth
For amusement, I was reading the 'list of common misconceptions' on wikipedia, and saw this: "An exercise myth is that a low-intensity workout (in the "fat-burning" zone where your heart rate is 60–70% of your maximum heart rate) burns more calories from fat than a high-intensity workout. While you do burn a greater…

Three weeks in and no weight loss
Hi all I am about three weeks into my exercise and diet plan and I haven't moved a single pound on the scales. I realise there has been a christmas and new year full of rich food and drink, but I continued to workout hard at the gym.

Functional Training
Have any of you ever heard this term before? I am in a business class at school. So we have been going around to different gyms to check them out see how they run, check out the target market, and see how their mission statements add up.

I'm watching a program about running the sand marathon (the marathon de sables) - 242 km across the Saraha desert.

"Light" Exercise
Lately, I've been frequenting the gym for yoga and step classes, but I like to return later in the day for some cardio (just to reassure myself that I'm doing everything I can to lose weight). I try to vary it up between the stair stepper, elliptical, stationary bike, and treadmill (every other day I add weights in too).…

I have had it for a few days now and everytime I go to unwrap it, I chicken out. She is pretty intimidating to me with her big ab…

Runner's Knee?
Hi Everyone! I've been doing some Googling and it seems like I may have "Runner's Knee" I feel fine at first, but then about 2.5k into a run, I get a weird almost electric feeling under my kneecap.

Shoes
How often do you replace your shoes? I bought a pair of Addidas cross-trainers this past summer and I notice that my left shin is getting sore. Is that a sign I should be replaceing them? I do TurboFire, if that makes a difference.

I much prefer running on the street or in the park but it's dark by the time I get home from work and there's tons of snowy sludge on the ground so my only cardio choice is the treadmill which usually results in a very short, half a$$ed run. :( What do you guys do to stay motivated on the…

stationary/recumbent bike calories question
Why when I try to register my stationary bike calories do they not have miles per hour? It's either very light, light, general, moderate, vigorous, or very vigorous. I usually do 20 mph, which should I pick? They vary greatly. I know, I know. get a heart rate monitor to be exact, but that's a lot of money to spend right…
