Exercising at very early morning hours- should I count it as
So, I have a bad (or, so I think) habit of waiting til very late to exercise. I just finished my 90-minute workout at 1 am. I didn't workout Sunday, but had been meaning to start much earlier (while technically still in Sunday), to compensate for the extra food I ate. (I usually eat a big meal *after* working out, but I…

My ipod has been my best friend for exercise for the past 2 years. Find music you like, put it in your ears, and move. Tonight I went in my…

You do burn more calories running, unless you are walking at 5mph or faster. I read a thread about this a long time ago, but thought I should post it, since I was POSITIVE that I was right....…
