Kill the Back Flab?!
Other than just plain losing weight, are there any exercises that target the dreaded back rolls? I didn't used to have them, but once I started on Depo Provera, I got back-boobs and can't shake them! Even at my happy weight, they're still back there. Mocking me. I think they eat when I'm not looking. It was ridiculous. My…

I had the original Ea Active and loved it especially the sports exercises. Then they came out with the 2nd version but I didnt want to spend 100.00 just to get a HRM. Well I was at Best Buy last night looking for new Wii Fitness like games and came across the Ea Active 2 and I was surprised it was on sale for only 59.99.…

Anyone trained for a 10k run?
I am starting my new eating plan tomorrow, 1 Jan, with the help of MFP. There is a 10k run I would love to do in June with my sister, and I want to be able to run it all. I did do a bit of running about 18 months ago, along with the gym, but since then have been pregnant and have a baby of 6 months old and gained quite a…

Heart rate monitor/ calories burned
I am in my second week of P90X and I bought a heart rate monitor before I started. It crapped out in about 3 days so I went and got a better one that offered way more. I just started using it today. It will work with or without the chest strap, I am currently using the chest strap. It has a calorie counter on it as well,…

Is it Insane to get EA Active doing P90X from the couch to 5
Hello folks, Quick Q, (as in question). I've got in mind to do Insanity, P90X, EA Sports Active 2 9 Week Program, and C25K in 2011. From folks who have done any and or all of these is there a particular order that will keep me most motivated and least sore? Can any of these be done concurrently (namely C25K +other…

How to log P90X workouts on here?
I just joined tonight and I'm already really impressed with this tool. I entered my food that I ate today and I was happy to see all the P90X meals already in the database. I then went over to the exercise section and wanted to log that I did the P90X Yoga X workout, but it's not in the database. I ended up just selecting…

Heart Rate Monitor..
This may be a completely dumb question, but give me a break I'm new at this! I've been searching on the board because I didn't want to ask a question already answered but I can't seem to find the answer I'm needing. I know that you can plug what exercise you do in the system and it tells you what you "burned," but I like…

Should I take it back?
Santa brought me a Timex Road Trainer Womens - T5K448 heart rate monitor ($99) because I could take it back if I opened it (I originally wanted the BodyBugg but that was too $$ and I couldnt take the Polar but if I opened it). However, after reading about the Polar brand even more, I'm thinking I should swap it out for the…

Low Resting Heart Rate & HRM's
I have a low resting heart rate, 43-47 beats a minute. My heart rate monitor bases my calories burned on the energy expended (calories burned) based on heart rate but there is nowhere to input my resting heart rate. Do I burn more calories, say at 154 beats per minute, than a person with the more typical resting heart rate…

iPhone 4 Armband
Has anyone found a good armband for the iPhone 4? I have one that barely fits my iPhone but works for what I need it right now. The most annoying thing with the one I use now is that when I sweat the armband soaks up the sweat and when I pull my phone out it's wet. I'd like to find one that is made specifically for the…
