Wii Active Question
I've been using the wii active game for almost two months now, and I love it! I feel like it's time to step up the weight training part of it, but you can only do so much with the resistance band. I bought some 4-lb wrist weights yesterday, but they're kind of bulky and uncomfortable, and i'm not really sure if they will…

how does a treadmill work?
How do treadmill's work? I mean, how does it know how many calories I burn? Does it weigh me when I step on it? Because if I was lighter, I wouldn't burn so many calories no matter how fast or long I walked than if I was heavier. How does it know how much I weigh to calculate the calories I burn? I sure don't see any scale…

Cardio and Weights the same day
Whoa is Me! What to believe when we are on "message boards".... I just read one on the HRM board that said this: You should never do cardio or weights one after the other on the same day.

Alternative to the C25K

Personally, I have lots of past running history but just stopped running about 2 years ago and let myself go to seed. About a year ago, I did try the C25K program…
