My resting heart rate is between 85-95. I'm 5'2" and 130 pounds. I know this isn't the same for every minute in the day but my average seems to be 3-4 per minute.…

Calorie Counter Accuracy Question with P90X
I purchased a relatively cheap (20 bucks) calorie counter wristwatch for use with P90X (I'm in Week 2.) The first week, I wasn't sure if the counter was counting ENOUGH calories, as I was only burning one or two hundred for a nearly hour-long workout. I wore the counter to the gym and compared it to what the elliptical was…

Best earbuds for working out?
Question: What earbuds are best for working out? Preferably something durable, good quality, and waterproof, or sweat resistant. Does that exist? Problem: iPod earbuds are too big for my ears, frequently fall out, and cause water to get trapped in there. During a workout, sweat creeps into my ears, causing swimmer's ear…

Do you Exercise to make up for Diet Slips?
Anyone else out there who uses workouts to balance out calorie intake? And just what does it mean when your calorie allowance is 1200 but exercise for the day is 500. I've understood this to mean 1700 is the new break even to stay within goal, and that taking in less than 1200 net of exercise can backfire by slowing your…

What's your heart rate while working out?
what's your heart rate when your working out? Mine only gets as high as 140-150 when doing the turbo bit of turbo jam !! Can get it up to 180ish when running on treadmill, which I can only keep up for 2mins, but when i just do normal aerobic DVD it's only about 115-120. Hence I generally only burn about 200 cals for half…

Burned calories correct?
I did the JD Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism for the first time yesterday. I couldn't finish it. I got about 33 minutes (including warm up and cool down). My HRM shows I burned 405 calories and that's minus resting calories. My heart rate got up to 190 at one point (my average was 156). Could this be right? I know the Timex…

I need a new workout video!
Hi! I'm going to get back to exercising now that my semester is ending and I have a five week break.

Car Accident - Knee Problems
A month ago yesterday, I was hit by a drunk driver and my brand-new car was totalled. On impact, I think my knees smashed into the glove compartment and they were bruised and a little sore for a few days.

Some info: I'm 178 lbs, 6'0", and my HR usually is at least 165 right after an interval is done. I can't afford to buy a HRM right now and just want to make sure I'm estimating correctly. Maybe if I…
