Making the Cut...I hope...diet question
I started Making the Cut last week. I love Jillian Michael's but I'm questioning the meal schedule she has set out. The calories are pretty low. I have to add some because I'm breastfeeding, but I'm still 1200 short of where I'm "supposed" to be. Anyone done this, modified the diet by adding fruits/veggies/healthy snacks,…

HRM math help please
My HRM arrived this morning and I've just used it for my workout. I know I need to subtract the calories I would have burnt just sitting around doing nothing. But my question is how do I do this? Do I wear my HRM for a rest period and use this value? Or, do I use my BRM and work out my resting als from that? Help please1

So I'm trying to input my exercise, which is step aerobics done on my own (i.e. quite a bit faster than Wii Fit has you doing it) and the only choices for Step Aerobics are using boards that are WAY higher than the Wii's.

Type I Diabetec and Exercise
Okay so I'm not diabetic, however my walking partner is a type 1 diabetic. I've seen postings on here for type 2 but the type 2 diabetics I know don't seem to have the same kind of extreme fluctuations in blood sugar as I've seen my friend have. So my question is how does exercise affect blood sugar and for how long. It…

The stepper machine is killing my knees
Well, it's either hard on them or I just over did it today. I'm leaning more toward over doing it. I hope they're better tomorrow and if they are I'll lighten up my workouts for a bit. Does anyone else find that machines make your knees sore?

Guilt.....
I am pretty religious about working out 4-5 times a week. Never less than 4. I know that I need to take breaks on the other days but I feel so guilty. :frown: Does anyone else feel guilty on the days that you aren't able to workout due to scheduling or just need a break?

Learning to Run
Hi, I may be overly cautious, but I just don't want to do anything detrimental to my health. I really want to learn to run on the treadmills at the gym.

Versaclimber
Has anyone every used one of these? I just got one on craigslist on the cheap and was wondering if it helps build muscle or if it's just a cardio machine. My recumbent bike can't be repaired (old circuit board/resistance isn't consistent) I don't even know where I'm going to put it. I think it's too tall for my basement.
