Hear Rate Monitor...too good to be true?
I purchased a Sportline S7 ECG heart rate watch. Programmed it to my sex/age. Hit the track. Took my heart rate frequently. Was staying 160-163. 30 minutes, 2 miles later it shows I burned 547 calories. Can that be true? I'm used to using the online calculators which I know aren't accurate, but I assumed over estimated.…

Irritated.....
A couple days ago I was talking to a friend about my weight loss and exercise routine. Their comment was "I wish I had the time to work out like you do". This really irritated me as I have to make time for my workouts. I go to the gym @ 4:30 AM 3 days a week and on my lunch hour 3 days a week and on weekends I either go to…

How would you classify this exercise?
I sometimes ride my bike towing my 55 lb dog in a 25 lb trailer. I also sometimes ride a bike with 50+ lbs of gear strapped to it. This burns ALOT more calories than riding unloaded, especially when you do it all day as I do sometimes. How would I log this into the exercise section without using a HRM? I can't afford one…

Just finished my first 5k!
I'm so happy! I just finished running my first 5K in 33:10! I managed to run the entire time without slowing to a walk once. That last mile, I was really able to pick up the pace. I was even happier that I could do it because I have only run on a treadmill and this was entirely outside on a sandy trail. When I first…

Calories burned for 30 Day Shred Level 3
Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone has been able to figure out calories burned for level 3 of the 30 Day Shred using a heart rate monitor or other reliable device? On MFP message boards and other forums, I've seen estimates between 200-450 calories, which is a pretty big window. Thanks!

p90x for a physical fitness test
I am in the process of getting ready for a physical fitness test for Law Enforcement. It requires me to bench press 90% of my body weight, run a mile and half, do push ups, sit ups, and have a flexiabilty test.

P90X Beginner
This is the first time I have ever made a committment with both diet and exercise. I am excited & a bit apprehensive. I am getting up every morning at 6am to do my workout. If I don't do it then, I will think up way too many excuses why I can't do it later. After completing the exercise I feel good all day -- probably…
