measurement loss vs weight loss
Hi all - I was looking for some support from some of those out there who may be losing in measurements rather than on the scale. I've been at this for a while now and haven't really seen much movement (at all) in the scale, but am definitely seeing some changes elsewhere physically. Just wanted to know how many of you may…

Pull ups are no joke!
I did assisted pull ups (one leg on the bench and pulling myself up). This was tuesday and I am still super sore :) I havent been able to properly scratch my back or put a shirt on for days. I was able to do hard core burpees Thursday no probelm (push ups). I noticed that it worked the heck out of my forearms, triceps, and…

Calories at Work

For 5-8 hours day, I am on my feet outdoors...bending, squating, reaching, walking, twisting, constantly sweating etc...today I decided to wear my heart rate monitor that tracks calories. According to it, i burned 815 cals in 5 hours. I…

Advice from runners please!
Ok...so recently in the new found "me" I've tackled lots of things I never thought I would. Mainly being able to stick to working out pretty much every day, also doing Insanity which is as a lot of you know..well, Insane! With that, and being able to get thru all that ridiculous cardio, I decided to start running again and…

Which is right?
I have HRM watch and while biking I check it pretty regularly, and it says that in a 10 minute ride I am burning 105 calories. I know I am only going about 8mph, but I'm pretty out of shape and it's taxing on me, especially with wind resistance. When I use the exercise tab here, it shows that I would have to be riding…

Six Flags
My husband and I are going to be at Six Flags tomorrow for 6 hours. I was just wondering what the best way to try to figure calories burned would be. I don't have a monitor so I'm needing suggestions on what the best way to categorize that would be. I did 6 hours of walking--slow pace bc I know that we will be burning…

Itching While exercising
I just started working out about a week ago and the past few workouts my legs, arms, back and upper buttocks itch while exercising. My primary form of exercise is using my stationary bike since I am just starting out and want to build some endurance. I think its due to circulation but wanted to see if anyone has…

Need Workout Recommendations!!

So far, I've lost 14 pounds (goal is 40), which is a good start, but I'm getting frustrated that the weight isn't coming off faster. I try to net 1200 calories a day and get in three to five 60-minute workouts a week as our family…

Trampoline exercise
I'm doing an exercise routine on the trampoline each morning but there isn't a Trampoline section in the exercise options. I looked on line about how many calories are burnt but there isn't an answer that seems right. Advice to tripple time and put it as jogging seems a bit too much. Any advice - and can someone create a…

GymGoal iPhone App
Despite the fact that I am a weakling, I happen to love strength training at the gym. I tend to think of it as my reward for doing a good cardio workout. While I'm spending an hour on the treadmill, I'm watching all the "muscle heads" lifting weights and I'm thinking ... why can't that be me someday? The problem is, I…

Leg Excercises
I apologize if this has been posted before, I'm sure it has. However. I'm not a HUGE workout fan.
