Water Aerobics
Took my first water aerobics class last night at my local Y. It was SUCH a great workout! Not sure if you've thought about trying this kind of class in the past, but if you're considering it you should definitely give it a try. I'm glad I did. After class, I was that kind of exhausted that I used to be after getting out of…

Exercise noob, I'm sorry - confused on "fat burn" on HRM
Using the Polar FT7 for reference. I'm partially dyslexic and ADD and can miss details, so it's no shock I'm all sorts of confused when I'm bombarded with complicated info. I do not at all understand the heart rate percentages talked about, and how to figure mine out. When I first put on the HRM before working out, my…

Getting rid of..uh hem...CELLULITE.

It makes me feel digusting. I was just wondering if once anyone here had lost a higher number of weight, if it went away. I'm exercising as…

HRM question!
Okay, so after my workouts, if I immediately get up and go make my protein shake instead of sitting down, my heart rate stays up at a cardiovascular level (in the 150's). I'm wondering if I should leave my heart rate monitor on so it can count calories burned until my heart rate drops down back to normal. Or should I stop…

Weight on exercise log?
Whenever I go in to log my exercise, is there a way to get the weight/set off? Here's an example of what it would say: Exercise set rep/sets weight/set pushups 1 20 ? Why would you need weights to do pushups? Anyway, I was just wondering if I could take that off. I don't use weights much. But I add things like pushups,…

Anyone interested in a Bodybugg?
I purchased a Bodybugg about a year ago and only ended up using it for three months (I just didn't use it enough for it to be beneficial... I was a bit lazy, I guess). I had the watch accessory to go with it as well. I paid about $350 for it, but I'd be happy if I could get half of that amount back out of it. It's in good…

Strength Training Just Doesn't Burn that Many Calories
At least not directly. It's still essential for weight loss, especially long-term, and for overall fitness and health. But when it comes to including resistance exercise in your overall calorie plan, I would exercise caution, especially when it comes to "eating back" the exercise calories. Oh, and, as I have said before,…

Anyone think the exercises are overstating calorie burn?
I've been a pretty active cyclist for a number of years, but I've noticed how my weight has pretty much hung up around 200 for over 10 years now. Might be 196, or I might be 204, but I'm always hanging around 200, and not much has changed with my workout strategies or level, and my eating has pretty much stayed the same.…

skinny legs? no extra flab??
I have ALWAYS wanted skinny legs...is it even possible or does genetics override? Even at my lowest weight, my legs weren't thin. I'm just curious. And for all of you who have lost a lot of weight - will the skin tighten back up? I am by no means a "newly overweight" person - and I do work out like a mad woman - weight…

pulled hamstring
Hi! i just wanted to take a poll: I pulled my hamstring on sunday doing some p90x. It's not awful i'd say probably a grade 1 pull. I worked out last night and ended up jogging on it for about 20 mins with minimal pain and actually towards the end it felt fine. I then also used the elliptical for another 45 mins. it felt a…

help! understand the whole exercise calories thing...
Hey! So I think I understand it but am just trying to be sure if I originally have 1200 calories and then I workout for an hour and get a few hundred more calories put on, does that mean I should eat those calories or just leave them. Shouldn't I be burning more calories than what i'm consuming? Thanks!

Pilates and calories burned
Can anyone tell me if the MFP exercise database is correct on the pilates calories burned. I read a review on the pilates video that I am currently doing, and the lady said that she burns over 300 calories when she does the entire 50 min video. The MFP database says that I am only burning like 111 calories for 30 min. I am…
