What could I add to my routine?
I decided to drop body pump for two reasons: 1) I've never lifted anything before in my life and they are insisting I MUST start out bench-pressing 20 lbs--no thanks, and 2) Spin 2-3 times a week plus something else will, I'm sure, still allow me to lose the 5-10 pounds I want in two months' time. So...what else could I…

Ok, I am not near as knowledgeable as I would like to be on heart rates, exercise, etc. as I would like to be...so if you could help me out I would appreciate it!

Question for those who run..
I recently started running/jogging, last week. I'm doing around a mile a session at the minute and running for around 10 minutes, I'm also under calorie goal and have remained that way for two weeks solid, so I decided that I'd stop doing the whole weighing every day thing as that wasnt helping or encouraging me - come to…

First Time Yoga....Wow!
This evening i did Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown for the first time and I loved it!! I've logged it as yoga but I'm not sure if that's right. I mean I was sweating like crazy, and my heart was racing, however I don't have a heart rate monitor to be 100% accurate. I also know that this workout is not like traditional…

Please!
For all of you bikers/cyclers out there, PLEASE wear your helmet, whether you are just going for a quick, casual spin or working out. I just found out my friend (who lived in Finland) was killed while casually riding his bike around town (was out on a quick errand). He rode all of the time, too. He was only 37. Please. It…

I'm not sure this is good or bad....
I already past my weekly calories burned goal in three days. my calories burned for the week is 2473 and the goal is 2200. I'm sure this is good, but i still have at least 2 more days of workouts on my personal schedule. If i continue, i'm afraid my body would go to starvation mode and start storing more fat.

Running shoe question
I just finished my very first C25K workout wearing brand new running shoes. Within a few minutes my feet began to really hurt, on both sides. I tried to loosen the shoes but that did not seem to work. Do I just need to give them time to break in or is this a sign that the shoes might not fit properly?

Polar F11 Users
Ok, so I plugged in all my info, and did the laying down for however long it was test. All that is fine and good. I know how to use the HRM, and use it most of the time. Here's my question...

I've been thinking that it's time to join a gym and work with a personal trainer a bit. I have all the major national chains around me (24 Hour Fitness, Bally Total Fitness, LA Fitness, etc) which one would you pick to join? I know I should just do the trial membership at each and pick one from that, but I'd like some…

Starting classes at the Y tomorrow!
I met with the director of the local YMCA, who recommended strength training/body pump twice a week (for an hour each time) and indoor cycling twice a week (an hour each). Is this enough? I'm hesitant to do THAT much weight training to start because I've done a grand total of nothing in that area--this will be my…
