HRM and calories burnt
I recently got a new Heart Rate Monitor, and love it! Just out of curiosity today, I wore it to work and was amazed that in a 5 hour shift I burnt over 3000 calories!! ( I work at a popular bar, and I'm always running from one end of the club to the other) I was just wondering if this is something I should be putting in my…

SBF 2, Reboot Boogaloo, Oct 18
October 18 and ragweed is still high. :grumble: I was at a friend's house last night - she had the windows open earlier in the day and I couldn't stop coughing at her house. I told Charlie that next year I'm going out with the large clippers and cutting it down - maybe I'll keep them in my car and if I see ragweed, I'll…

ellipical vs treadmill
so the gym always says i burn more calories on the treadmill. Although I feel I assert more entergy on the ellipacal. So I googled it, all the sites I viewed said treadmill burns more. On another note the stationary bike burns the fewest, which is a good thing cause I hate the bike. Still going to keep doing the ellipacal…

Woke up at 4 a.m. and thought I would start my day. Just holy moly was I tired and sore. I ate breakfast and since it was still dark I went…

mixing it up
How is your workout working for you? Are you doing the same workout today that you were doing 2 months ago, 6 months ago, a year ago? Are the scales moving for you? Mix up your workout routine. You don't have to stop doing your favorite workout. Maybe you need to mix it up by doing three 60 minutes workouts instead of six…

Excercising before breakfast
This is one of the ones I have heard since I was young.. if you excercise before you eat breakfast it is far more effective and you will do your body a lot of good.. does anybody know if there is any scientific research put into that either way?

TURBO FIRE TONING CLASSES
I LOVE the Turbo Fire Cardio Classes but I have not been impressed by the toning and strength classes. I did Core 20 yesterday and I don't feel any impact in my muscles. At first I thought, maybe I have a crappy resistance band. But I did Sculpt 30 which was a bit tougher and I did feel it some in my arms, but I guess…

Exercise in the AM or PM?
I usually am busy throughout my day, and the only time i have free is in the morning, and night. Is working out in the morning better? Or working out at night? or either or? I think both should be fine, cause if you work out in the AM, you can feel more energetic during the day, and if you workout @ night, then you burn…

Anyone here use SuperPump pre-workout?
Does anyone here use SuperPump? I LOVE it.. well I love the affects it gives me during my workout. I was taking GNC's energy enhancer pills, but unfortunately it kept me too jittery during the day. What I liked about SuperPump was that it didn't give me that jittery feeling. However, I've been using it for about a month,…

Why all women should be lifting weights
I posted a new topic to my blog tonight listing the benefits of weight training for women. I've noticed that a lot of women on here are only doing cardio (ok and men too). I can't stress enough how important it is to have a balanced workout regime that includes both strength and cardio. If you aren't including resistance…

Flabby abs
So this has been asked many times on MFP, but I'm hoping for a new perspective! In the past 12 years I've lost well over 100lbs, 44 of those in the past 9 months, and as a result I'm pretty toned apart from my flabby abs :-( Attractive, I know. Whenever I bend over, they just sag; when I jump they nearly take my eyes out.…

Does MFP use your stats to calculate calorie burn?
Hello all! Does anyone know if MFP uses your info (age/weight etc) to calculate calories burned in the exercise log? I've been struggling to lose weight though I've been meticulous about logging food, eating exercise calories, drinking water blah blah blah. I've also read the great posts for newbies about starvation mode,…
