Anyone in (South) Central PA want a free elliptical??
It's a ProForm 820 purchased in 2003 for 400$... It was working just fine up until about a month ago when the digital display part that also controls the resistance stopped working. I decided I didn't feel like dealing with getting it fixed because I wanted a new one- so that's what I did, I bought a new one! :smile:…

Heart Rate Monitor
Hello Everyone, My fiance and I are looking to invest in Heart Rate Monitors and was wondering if people could give us input as to good brands and models to look into. We dont want to pay an arm and a leg, but are willing to spend a little more than we budgeted for one that works very well. Thanks!

Calories burned daily?
How many calories do you try to burn daily? I'm 5'3 and 132 pounds trying to lose about 12 more pounds. I walk at a 10% incline on the treadmill at 3 mph for 30 min every day and burn 300 calories. Just trying to see if anyone out there has advice about whether I should up that a little or if I'll be fine with what I'm…

Calories left at the gym
Do you go by what the machine at the gym says regarding calories burned, or what MFP says for calories burned? According to the machines here's my workout tonight: 12 miles in 46 minutes between levels 10 and 18 on the bike= 350 calories 45 minutes/ 5200 steps or 3.0 miles on the elliptical= 500 calories 30 minutes=1.43…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo, week of March 22nd
Wow, March is going fast, huh? Today I have a session with my trainer scheduled (my first in over a month) we're just going to work out for half an hour, as we're trying boxing. Then, later today I want to go walk on the treadmill in my new "gorilla feet shoes" (this is my husband's term for them). Other than that, it's…

30 Day Shred?
I'm thinking of buying it, is it any good? Currently I'm 123lb and 5' 7", which means that I'm about adequate for my height. However, I need to tone my stomach, apparently 30 day shred's quite good for toning and so I thought I'd give it a go. I read somewhere about weight training with 30 day shred, will I need to buy…

Motivation ;(
Hey there. So, here's the story. I go to the gym about six days a week -- BUT, I feel like I just don't try my hardest at all. I give up in the middle, because when I actually DID used to work out a LOT, I never felt like I saw results.Its very hard for me to lose weight, so the motivation just isn't there. My boyfriend…

A question for the ladies. Males enter @ own risk.
I've been doing this about a week now, and it seems as though this change is throwing my mentrual cycle for a loop. Is this normal? Will it regulate after awhile, or should I always expect intermittent changes in my cycle?

toning -> loss?
Okay so I'm not losing inches or lbs yet (grrrrr!!) but I can see where muscle is developing underneath - my abs are finally getting some of their definition again, my back is straighter and I'm sure my core is at least bit stronger... so obviously, there's good stuff going on here. AND there's also something comforting…

Running w/ or w/out an ipod?
I just finished the Couch2 5K running program. It went really well. I started the program by carring a timer and timing out the intervals. Then I found some podcast that tell you what to do-heaven! No more thinking about how many minutes left subtracting and trying to run at the same time. It worked great. I now am…

30 Day Shred-Am I missing something?
I guess I'm a bit confused about the shred dvd. From everything I hear about it, I really thought it would kick my *ss. So there are three levels-and you're supposed to do the twenty minute or so workout on a level until you feel like you've worked to the next level? When I got the dvd it said running time 60 minutes, I…

Pulled a muscle... What do I do??
Ok, so I was goofing off about 30 mins ago and I think I pulled the muscle at the very top of my thigh (quad?).... what do I do?? I can hardly lift my leg to go up a step now and it hurts like hell to sit down and stand up (the process of going from one position to the other). The kind of pain that gives a hot flash/chill…

Pulled muscle? Yes, no?
So, my friend and I have taken a mini road trip the last two days (loads of time in the car). I felt fine until this afternoon when I rolled my neck to my left shoulder and pretty much instantly got pain in the right side of my neck. It hurts pretty bad if I tilt my head to the right side now. It also hurts down that back…

I am pretty much completely new to the whole running thing - not that I don't ever jog for exercise (however it's a very small amount comparatively), but I have this really strong desire to get to a point where I can run in 5ks, 10ks, etc. I think that would be such an amazing experience, but I need some advice on how to…

Burning Calories
What do you think? Today my back was bothering me . I still got in 2 hours working in my yard but took breaks to rest my back. Would it still be the same calories burned since I took so many breaks? 2 hours took about 4-5 hours with breaks.

Should I keep running?
I decided 2 weeks ago to train for a 5 K run and am using the Couch to 5 K program. I'm concerned about my aching knees. They're not swollen but have been aching for 2 weeks. I did figure out that the sidewalks in my neighborhood are terrible (buckled and slanted in many places) so I was going to run around the track at…

WHOA! Something doesn't add up here!
So, as a reward for myself crossing the first 5 lbs mark, I went out and bought a pretty nice heart rate monitor (the chest-strap/ watch combo)... I also bought the Wii Jenny McCarthy "Your Shape" (which was pretty stinkin' fun, I must admit)... Obviously, I trust the heart rate monitor's results as to how many calories I…
