Happy Saturday! My hunny and I are going to be tackling our walls this weekend. We will be patching up holes and painting our walls! Can't wait to see the finishing look, however I was just wondering how many calories are burned while painting walls? I would imagine that we use a great percentage of muscles while…

HRM question - erm, rather morbid actually
If you're wearing a heart rate monitor while exercising and you experience a heart attack, what would the HRM start reading? Just curious as to whether having it on actually would help identify if one is happening?

pulled adductor longus. do i give up?
So i pulled my inner thigh muscle. dr says no walking, jogging, running, stairmaster or eliptical machines. no lunges, squats, or anything that requires using my inner thigh for 6-8 weeks until recovery. also physical therapy is even more painful than the actually pulled muscle. so i am 23, i have always been overweight.…

Is myfitnesspal really this easy?!
I workout more then my daily/weekly goals and I always eat under my calories. Will I really lose weight just from doing this? I know I get more calories to eat the more I work out, so if I eat more, but still stay under my calories.. will I really lose weight? I'm just baffled by all of this that it seems so easy.. I hope…

Please explain exercise terms
Today I went to a training gym for the first time in my life. I got the beginners' orientation from a very young woman who spoke too fast for me and assumed I would know a lot more than I did. Well, that's not hard, because I know nothing. This evening I wanted to enter my exercise in my diary, under "Strength" and…

HRM watch?
I am kind of annoyed. I bought the Women's Sportline Solo 915 HRM Watch for $50 and it came today. I walked roughly 3.5 mph pushing my son in his stroller for an hour. The calorie counter said that I burned 800 calories?!..theres no way thats close to accurate... I RUN on the treadmill sometimes and i only burn 600. Does…

Can't wait so excited- I have been hitting the weights hard and have saw great results in doing that but now I want to shake it up doing intense cardio and my own body weight for my resistance. My hope is that this routine shocks my system and I can drop some additional pounds for summer. Can't wait 48 hours to process…

running question
So I have been running 3 miles 3-5 times a week. I am doing my first 5K in May. There are times I feel like I can go forever. I average 3 miles in 29 min. I don't feel out of breath but, my knees kills me by the end. Any suggestions as to why? Maybe not stretching good enough or the way I run? Also, I've seen some posts…

Calories burned from walking ...
So ... I just went for a little power-walk on my break. I traced my route on this cool website I found: http://www.walkjogrun.net It lets you calculate the exact distance of your route. You can then enter your weight, and how long you walked for, and it will tell you how many calories you burned. I walked 0.92 miles in 16…

fancy running shoes
Okay, okay...I'll drop a benjamin if I HAVE to. But I'm tempted to go to Ross or something and pick up whatever New Balances they have in my size. Should I just spend the money? I'm asking because I have had pain in my knee while running since Sunday and it's definitely my old running shoes that I got in high school (six…

Cathe Friedrich MMA Kickbox
I really want to take an MMA class because there's a gym near my house that offers them for women, but I can't afford the $80/month it costs. I've never really been a Cathe Friedrich fan but I decided to give this one a shot. Holy cr@p- that's about all I can say. It's a 53-minute workout that will take you through some…

How to count Yoga Meltdown Cals
I am wondering how you guys are counting your Yoga Meltdown calories in your exercise diaries. Doesn't seem to me it would go under regular yoga because of the increased intensity but I'm not sure what the most accurate way to count it without a heart monitor would be. Thanks guys!!

Started C25K...
I started the program tonight. I am also using the free podcasts. They are very helpful with the music and the prompts to run and walk. This allows me to complete the goals without looking at my watch every five seconds. I will let you know how it turns out. I'm curious to know what you guys think of the program. Has it…
