Heart flutters & Exercise
First, all my doctors are aware of my efforts here on MFP and my workouts. So, my question is, those of you that have heart flutters/palpitations during exercise, do you keep working through it? Do you pause your workout? Do you stop altogether? If you pause, do you keep your HRM (if you have one) going? I'm used to my…

About to enter the world of Group Fitness Instruction
Hello all! I have worked out at home for ages. I love Turbo Jam and other Beachbody products. I have been a member of the gym in the past but hated it. I was even a personal trainer for a while and quit because I just don't like that kind of environment for working out. Well, I had never taken a group fitness class :) I…

Weight training for women
Women need to weight train more. I cannot say this enough. Especially in London, England at my gym, I am always the only girl in the weight room. I am fighting with the guys for use of the bench, smith machine, bench press machine, etc. Every time I see a woman enter the gym, they go straight for the cardio machines. I…

Need Pedometer Info
So I've just come into a second hand pedometer, but no instruction manual to go with it. It was left at my workplace 6 weeks ago, and since it has never been claimed, I was allowed to keep it. The time is already set accurately, and I figured out how to input my weight. Now what? I just clip it on my clothes? And it does…

Power 90
I just started P90 about a week ago and really love it! I check my weigh in tomorrow to see what results I'm getting. I would love to start a group who are also doing the same workout. I know a lot of people skip to P90X but, I was too out of shape to really push for something like that and knew I would quit in the first…

Core Rhythm Latin/Salsa workout
I have the set of dvds for Core Rhythms. Comparing to what I have read about Zumba, it seems to be almost the same type of cardio workout. I am unsure how to determine my calories burned. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Going to try P90X for the third time!
Ok. So I think I have decided to try P90X for the third time. I've made it through Round 1 each of the previous times but then seem to fall off the wagon during the recovery week, to only end up quitting. (I usually weigh myself then and get really disappointed with the results on the scale.) I keep convincing myself that…

I know its important to let your muscles rest, but for how long? I worked out 5 days in a row so I was going to take today off. Is that enough or should I take another day off? Is it better to rest after 2-3 workouts? Help please!

Will I be able to run a 5K if I'm only training on a treadmi
