Calf pain when using treadmill
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a treadmill. I'm a fairly active and fit person but I've always avoided any kind of high impact exercise like running. The thing is that I can't really push myself with an elliptical or stationary bike so I broke down and decided to try running on a treadmill. I love using the treadmill.…

So I woke up this morning and my left knee is HUGE! I've had problems with this knee for some 12 years now.

FRUSTRATED With Upper Thighs!!!
I have been working HARD to spot reduce the fat in my upper thighs, as I'm not too sure how well spot reduction works, I still try, so I can see some sort of improvement.

Garmin HRM Question
I got the HRM to go with my Garmin Forerunner 405. I'm curious to know if anyone has used this not running or walking? I turned it on to just a calorie burn only. Then did my KenpoX this Am, it appears that it times out and didn't track calories. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience to know what I may have done…

Does anybody add house cleaning to exercise?
I was just curious if anybody added house cleaning to exercise. I've been cleaning like a mad woman all day for 6 hours (I have a 6 bedroom + regular rooms like the kitchen, bathrooms ect., plus stairs) and I entered the mintues in and it gave me a riduculous amount of calories burned such as around 1500. Is this cheating?…

Is a flat tummy POSSIBLE at my age???
I keep wondering. I remember what I was like in my teens and part of my 20s, before I gained mega-pounds and kept it on for nearly 20 years. I'm now a size 8 (down from 18 - an elasticated 18!) but I don't have a flat belly. I have very strong abs from both exercise at the gym and around 12 hours of ballet classes a week.…

Eating workout calories
Does anyone else have a hard time trusting the estimate of calories burned when you input your workouts? I want to track my exercise for accountability's sake, but am not confident enough in the estimates to allow myself to eat the calories that MFP adds back in because I've "earned" them. I'd rather set a calorie budget…
