I tried out this morning while doing my Insanity workout, and after 25 min of intense calisthenics, it said I only burned 217 calories w/ a max heartrate of 130. (i'm 33 yrs old). Insanity is a very intense workout so I cannot imagine…

I hate exercise
I've just turned 40 and need to lose 12kilos (26pounds) going from 82kg -> 70kg The problem is that I hate physical activity. Fifteen years ago I weighed about 66kg and did a lot of cycling, swimming and hiking. Cycling was my means of transport in the city, and it was a thrill to dodge in and out of cars through all sorts…

CRAMP while exercising :(
For the past week, I have gotten a cramp/side stitch while exercising! It is very frustrating! I usually workout around 6 pm (because this is the only free time i have) and I eat a snack at around 4 pm. 2 hours should be enough time for my food to digest! I have tried eating different things for snack- a protein bar,…

Protein Questions
I've been thinking about starting a Protein shake lately as I have heard it will help with weight loss. MFP puts my daily protein goal at 45, however I usually average around 65 simply because I eat a lot of egg whites, chicken and beef. The large majority of my protein intake usually happens around breakfast time, on an…

This can't be right, can it?
I am using a SportsLine HRM watch. Mainly because I didn't want to deal with things stuck to my chest and the band. I've used those before and found it very uncomfy. So, Monday I did W1D1 of C25K. Using the pedometer portion of the watch, it said I did 3956 steps, burned 150 calories, and went 1.87 miles. Today, same…

what would you count this as far as exercise???
Grocery shopping. Ok, seriously, it's grocery shopping, but not your AVERAGE grocery shop. Picture boxing up 25-30 lbs. of groceries (frozen meats, produce, canned goods, etc.) one box at a time, taping the box up, loading at least half of them onto a flat, taping them shut. Repeat. $9000.00 worth. For 6 hours. ??? Not…
