Martial Arts
How many people here are into martial arts? And which ones? As you can tell by my screen name I do TaeKonDo. I started it back in October of last year at my highest weight. I'm not exactly sure the number at that time. I do know when I started at a gym it was 378 and that was May 9th. But I credit my TKD fro getting me…

Strength Training or Cardio FIRST?
I have been on MFP since January, and to date have lost 25 pounds, hoping to lose the last 15 before June! I had some sessions with a personal trainer, and I asked him if I should strength train first, or do cardio first. He told me that it didn't really matter. Well, now I have heard two sides of the story...if you are…

Should I workout a week straight?
Ok in the past I have over worked myself. I was working out 5-6 days a week for almost 2 hrs each time. Since then I've cut back to 4 days a week, doing 2 days weights and 2 days cardio an hour each time. I'm starting to see results again from doing this. I have an up comming minor surgery that will put me out of the…

Morning, noon or night?
Hi everyone! I'm starting P90X today and I'm already feeling a little anxiety over the biggest obstacle in my way... TIME! I'm busy during the day at work, and that often extends into my after-work hours. Then there are after-school activities (2 to 3 times a week), grocery shopping (I try to get this done once a week, but…

Opinions Needed - EA Active vs Your Shape
Hey all: I have the EA Active currently (the original one) and am just finishing up the Easy 30 day Challenge. I am thinking about moving onto the Intermediate Challenge and also purchasing the Your Shape with Jenny McCarthy video. I haven't heard a whole lot of feedback on the Your Shape video. I think I like it because I…

Tae Bo...
What would be the best way to estimate calories burned on Tae Bo? I have been using aerobics- high intensity. It may be low intensity for some people, but I get a good workout in when I do it. (I'm really out of shape) Anyone have a better way of tracking it? Also does anyone know how much an HRM costs. I'm so tight on a…

JM 30 day shredder Started 4/15/2010
Day 1, Level 1 4/15 I got my video last night and boy did it kick my *kitten*. The warm up was great, and I probably needed it, and I enjoyed the cool down to if to just simply stretch everything out and prevent injuries. I will admit that when it got to the end of a few of those exercises I might of stopped 5 short or so…

Any Cyclists On Here?
I just joined my college's cycling team about two months ago, and I'm looking to get more in shape for it, slim down, and stay motivated with it while I'm away from school for the next 3 months over summer.

C25K - feeling nauseous :(
I'm only on week 2 and I've been feeling nauseous after my jog/walk. Is this happening to anyone else? Is this something I can work past? I have a tendancy to have vertigo and motion sickness. I'm getting worried that this is causing the problem and I'm not going to be able to complete the process. :( Any thoughts?????

Insanity??
Hello! I watched an infomercial today on a new workout video from Beach Body called "Insanity" with Shaun T (the Hip Hop abs guy!) anyways, it looked pretty intense and I was just curious if anyone has tried it and how they liked it?? I was fairly fit before I got pregnant and (my son is 4months old) now trying to get rid…

Wanna get killer quads? Not for beginners.
I used to think that you would break down muscle with high rep workouts, but when you add them periodically this technique gets your legs past plateaus and forces them to grow. The trick to this muscle building and strength exercise is to add this to your workout only on occasion, not something you want to do with every…

Desk Job
Any of you have ideas for ways to get a decent work out for those of us who sit at a desk all day long. I work in a store by myself so doing a little exercise isn't hard, but I can't exactly be sweating bullets when a customer comes in either. I actually did do a 20 minute workout yesterday and I worked up a sweat. Just…

How to wash your running shoes!
How I wash my shoes is by throwing them in the washer.. Wala just like new!! I was just reading in Woman's Health that that is bad for your shoes "the rough and tumble action can break down the inner cushioning and relax the glue/structure of the shoe". This can lead to a serious injury! I never even thought about that. So…

Running undergarments
I have recently lost a lot of weight, and now I'm trying to learn to run. I found a sports bra to control the upswing (I'm well-endowed in that area). But what about the belly bounce? Any suggestions? It's really uncomfortable. I think I need to compress it in some way.

Track weight training calories as aerobic or not?
First time poster so if this is not posted in the correct area, I apologize. This may be a no brainer, but.... I have been wearing my HRM (Polar RS 300X G1) while doing my weight routine. On average it says 450 cals give or take for my workout, usually 40 min or so, get HR to mid 150's. My question is, since MFP does not…

Should I add more ab workouts to my routine??? Right now I'm 176 at 10% bodyfat. My lean muscle mass is 158lbs. I'm weighing my…

Another obstacle to exercise.
I am not stopping by any means. I've been training for a 5k for 6 weeks now and I'm not going to stop running until after my 5 K in 3 weeks. I developed a small umbilical hernia when I was pregnant with my son (18 plus years ago). It was small and contained within my belly button so I never did anything about it. In the…
