Kettlebells
I bought a kettlebell...maybe about a month ago. It's great!! I absolutely love it! The dvd it came with gives me a great cardio like sweat. I know it's probably a mixture of strength training and cardio, but what would you enter it in as on this site? The video makes it feel more like cardio to me, but i dunno. What do…

Fitness Faves and best HRM
Hi all! First of all, I want to express just how wonderful it has been being part of the MFP family for the past few weeks. I'm a former Weight Watcher from 2001-2002 when I lost 30 lbs. It really taught me how to change bad habits into good, health- and life-sustaining ones. A bit of the weight has threatened to creep…

Do you think exercise machines lie to you?
Do you think the calorie counter on the machines at the gym lie to you? Do you think you actually burn that many calories when you do the work out? Especially on the elliptical...I am wary of it.

Sketchers Shape Ups - Any Reviews?
I saw these shoes, Sketchers Shape - Ups at my local sports store and I was wondering if anyone had any personal experience wearing these things. A lot of my exercise comes from walking and I need new running shoes. Thanks in advance!

Using the Bike machine
Ok. So I want to start adding to my cardio workout. I do 30 mins of the arc trainer(almost like an eliptical) and I want to do 30 minutes of something else. I was thinking the bycicle. But I feel like that's not really getting a good workout. I think it's the fact that your sitting down. I feel like it would only be a…

Roller blading
Are there any roller bladers here? I am interested in leanring more about blading. I can roller skate sort of okay, but how different (and how much harder) is blading? How much does a decent pair cost? How does it compare to skating, fitness wise...better, not as good as...? There is a long trail by my apartment that I…

I have a 50lb boxer/pitbull mix named Lexi (her pictures are on my profile). I've been walking her for 2 miles when I go to the park and then she passes out when we get home. There is a March of Dimes walk coming up in about 3 weeks thats 3.5 miles long and I want to take her with me, but I don't want to push her too hard.…

Anyone else a Turbo Jam junkie like me? I was just wondering if anyone else uses these workouts and if so, approximately how many calories do you think you burn doing Turbo Sculpt and Cardio Party? I'm worried I may be over shooting the calories burned...

Ok... I bonked on my run yesterday!
Hey everybody. I went out for my four miler yesterday. Going out, everything felt pretty good--controling my breathing; keeping my pace controled. I just used my first mile as my warm-up; then stopped and stretched out for a little bit, then cranked it back up. However, in the middle of mile two, the muscle in my left shin…

To those that use HRMs...
Hey all, I was just wondering who out there uses a HRM when they exercise and how many calories you burn per session and per week. Also, how many calories do you eat per day and do you eat your exercise calories? My HRM says I burn approx. 3500 cals per week, which would equal one pound, but I have not been losing a lb.…

Biggest Loser exercises
Why is it so hard to find how many calories you burn while doing any of the Biggest Loser dvds? I have been documenting them as aerobic, low impact but I feel I am doing more than that. Went cruising through different sites and nothing. I know my feet don't come off the floor but I am going full throttle. Should I be using…

Running and Calories Burned
Just wanted to inform people who don't know that when you enter the running as an exercise here it is probably over calculated. The belief used to be one mile = 100 calories, but in reality to figure out your calories burned each mile take your total body weight in pounds and multiply this by .72 and this will give you the…

Gym Membership Across Different States
Hi, I will be in Denver, LA and Cincinatti July thru September this year. Does anyone know of any fitness/gym chains that allow you to use ANY gym and also don't need you to be a US resident?

No longer getting sore!
I've been doing 30days shred. Everyday I do level three then alternate between level 1 and level two right after. I also do either Yoga or Pilates everyday..... sometimes I'll do the Biggest Loser last chance workout or Jillian's metabolism boost in place of yoga pilates. I've noticed that no matter what I do, I don't get…

BMI Scales
I just bought scales that measure weight, and also BMI, body fat, body water, and muscle mass. How accurate do you guys think scales like this are?

Not all progress is at the scale.
Hey everybody. I tell you, when I (re)commited myself to living healthier, I was really hoping the first result would be some weight loss. Well, not happening... yet. I went down 3, then back up 1.5. I feel like I'm doing to Charelston! (three steps up, one back)lol. Anyway, I've been hit with high bloodpressure last fall.…
