Today I joined the darkside...
...And became one of those obnoxious people who talk on their cell phones while doing cardio at the gym. After a decade of gym membership and 8 months of consistent weekly gym attendance (as of late), I swallowed my dignity and joined the masses of disrespectful punks who refuse to end their conversation just because they…

BOSU! Whew!
just came back from the BOSU bootcamp class. it rocked. it is basically a step class, but it is done on that thingie that looks like half a resistance ball on a plastic platform. i was thinking it would be about the same as a step class, but it was *way* harder. every time you stand on that thing, every tiny muscle from…

Jogging question...
I recently decided that I wanted to start jogging (I'd say running....but I can barely jog at this point! LOL). I've been walking 5 min at 3.3 mph, then jogging 5 min at 4.0 mph (which I know isn't very impressive, but it's more than I've done in the past). I'd like to get to the point where I can run roughly a 10 min mile…

Numpty ...
I ordered the 30 Day Shred dvd this morning and I have spent all morning looking for 3 kg dumbells. I read that you need 3 lb dumbells but my British brain immediately computed that as 3 kg. That's quite the relief, although it translates to a piddly 1.5 kg dumbell! How on earth can that be effective when I do bicep curls…

Flexibility
So more recently I've been remembering that my flexibility is something I'd like to work on. I don't really know anything about it, but I've heard yoga is good for flexibility and I was curious if that is the case. I'm currently a homebody exerciser so does anyone know of any good dvds that improve flexibility? I'm doing…

When you first started exercising?
Did you hate it? Did it gradually become easier and even enjoy it? Or is it just something you make yourself do? I want to lose weight but I am also hoping exercising will make me feel better. I have no energy and just tired all the time. I wake up feeling horrible. Any suggestions?

Anyone done BOSU Bootcamp?
I have a vague idea of what it might be...I'm off to give this class a whirl this morning. I'm not sure if it will be more a strength training type thing or if there will be adequate cardio as well. Anyone ever done this? Like it? Love it? Happy Hump Day, everyone!

kind of embarrassing but I can't be the only one??
I feel like I am in better shape than I look, and it's starting to hurt my work outs! Every time I come back from a long run, somewhere on my body has been rubbed raw!

skipping circuit in less then 20 minutes
I'm a HUGE fan of skipping..and when you add in weight work..you have a killer combination.this particular circuit works so well because it's working almost all the same muscles. For example, when you skip your shoulders get a good workout and then if you head over and do a set of military presses every time you make a…

HRM or MFP???
Hey MFP! Here's the deal. I just played an hour and 55 minutes of softball tonight. I wore my Heart Rate Monitor while doing so. So, my HRM says I burned 1,378 calories in 115 minutes and MFP says I burned 926... so which am I supposed to "believe"? I do think my HRM is off because 1378 seems WAAAAY high. I'm 213, 5'5".…
