Cardio suggestions?
I've not been doing enough cardio (well, little to none) - been going to the gym and doing Power Plate, and going to Callanetics classes - but I think both of these would be classified more under "toning" than anything else. I need more cardio in my life, but am a bit stuck for ideas. I used to go running with a trainer…

Quick Question - Treadclimber
Okay so I've discovered I have a real liking of the machine made be Nautilus. It claims to be twice the workout and "just like fell walking" and I'd have to say that I'm certainly feeling that. I have never sweated on a machine in the gym like I have on this one. If you don't know how it works, basically it's a treadmill…

P90x 1st Rounders 6-1-10
Hey everyone. I did P90x months ago and was never able to completely finish it. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I just seemed to show interest elsewhere like using Insanity. Anyhow I figured it would be nice to see if anyone else could use some motivation and would like to start up a first round p90 forum. Everyone knows we…

Anyone use My Fitness Coach for Wii?
I just tried this again for the first time in a while... was wondering if anyone has an idea if their calories burned seems accurate. I put in the basics of what I did (10 minutes cardio, 20 of strength training/stretches -- lunges, crunches, calf raises). MFC says I burned 134 calories and MFP says 180-something. I went…

Does anyone know any great excercises for the arms??

What keeps you going?
Maybe this should have been posted on the Motivation Board but this is the only category I really look at. Here goes: What keeps YOU going? I seem to have lost my mojo. I have two kids, live in a new city and am moving into our house this weekend. I'm busy and just feel so blah! Saturday night in the Moonlight Run 6k and…

General Tennis playing
I just got done playing 2 full sets of Tennis, so 12 full games with a buddy of mine, for about an hour and 15 minutes. We also play 3 full sets of 18 games on Saturday mornings.

Formula for figuring calories burned?
Won't a person weighing 300 burn calories at a different rate than a person weighing 150 doing the same exercise? Does anyone know if there is a formula for using your body weight and your cardio heart rate to figure the amount of calories burned over a given period of exercising? Charlotte

Wii games
So far I have Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports & Wii Sports Resort and Biggest Loser. I have found the Biggest Loser game really helpful. In fact before using it I had never bothered counting calories. Then I started and realised how eratic my eating was... 500 kcal some days and 3500 kcal on others! In fact it's why I ended up…

PEDOMETER

Question about equipment
The treadmills at the gym always asked me to input my age and weight, so I am imagining the machine calculated my calories burned based on my intensity, distance, incline, age and weight. So, my question is about my treadmill at home. It has a simple little display with mileage, calories burned, fat calories burned, speed…

Anyone out there ever do this? What was your experience with it? Is this something where I would have to pay to sign up and if so roughly how much? Not really looking to pay a whole lot of money. I know I can go to a meeting or have them come here for an information session, I just don't want to waste my time or theirs if…

Low impact, high intensity?

Jumping issue-wierd
Okay so I was doing my normal workout this morning. I do my first Jumping Jack and I have a sharp pain in my belly flab. The pain was not in the muscle but in my loose belly. As long as I held my belly while I did any of the jumping parts of my work out it was fine. Anybody have an idea on what it could be? I am so close…
