Nausea while exercising?
Hello! So for the past month or so I've been feeling super nauseous after running about 1 mile, and I usually throw up. I'd heard that this was normal for runners, and I just accepted that it was part of the whole bouncing stomach thing, high heart rate, etc.. :sick: But last night at the gym, I was on the elliptical for…

VO2 Numbers
I recently had my VO2 assessment done at Lifetime Fitness on a treadmill. My number was 21.7 (I'm 6', 46 years old). Unless I'm reading the table wrong, that's a really, really, really bad number. I guess I'm disappointed that number isn't higher taking into account that I bike, jog, strength train, etc. I know these tests…

Hip HOp Abs
Hi, can anyone out there tell me about Hip Hop Abs. When they do the routines do they do a little bit and then you have to remember that and then do another bit of the routine until at the end you are supposed to remember a 45 min of full cardio dance routine ?? I do Turbo Jam and love it, because it is lots of small…

Anyhow, here is the problem I am running into. Right now, i'll eat 6 oz. of chicken for lunch with a banana. For dinner I figured I could…

Poll: How do you feel after your cardio work out??

And how fast are you losing weight? Meaning how many LB/week? I am asking because I am at a plateau and I talked to a personal trainer today and he…

Polar HRM
So I've decided to purchase a heart rate monitor and from all the threads, it seems as if Polar is the way to go. The FT7 has one style for men and a different one for women. Is there any difference in how they work/calculate or is the only difference the color of the device? I prefer the color of the one for men better,…

Workout time?
Okay so I've been working out for an hour a day alternating between total cardio and strength training. The trainer at the gym says that really you shouldn't work out for more than 45 minutes. He says anything over 45 minutes stops fat burn. Is this a founded truth? Am I hurting myself by working out for an hour? Personal…
