Time!!
I'm sure this has been asked and answered before but does it matter how long and when you exercise. I have been doing the 30 day shred for 2 weeks faithfully but sometimes I have an extra 15 minutes (before getting ready for work or bed) so I hop on my bike. A friend (you know the kind that knows everything) told me I…

question about intensity workout levels
I used my new polar ft 60 HRM today. I love it. I do have a question about intensity levels though. My manual says that you burn more calories in zone 3 (high intensity), but it says that you burn a higher fat calorie percentage in the low and moderate intensity levels. After using my HRM today, my HRM says that I have…

indigestion while exercising..?
I do about 45-60 minutes of cardio & dance a few hours after I eat breakfast. About ten minutes into my workout I start burping, I dont know how to explain them, they aren't necessarily regular burps from carbonation or being full. Its more that empty air feeling causing those burp/hiccups. Could it be from chugging water…

Polar HRM
I'm thinking about getting a Polar F4 because of its simplicity and no bells and whistles. However, I thought I read somewhere that people who had under-wire in their sports bras had trouble with the accuracy of the HRM. All of my sports bras have under-wire in them and I was just wondering if anybody has had this issue…

Specific types of exercise to target lower body
Hi all, Besides crunches, lunges and squats, are there any other exercises which I could do (at home) that targets the lower abs, hips, thighs and butt? Although I like the hourglass shape my body is beginning to define, it's not in the right proportion. I could use to lose and tone up the lower body even more. Any tips…

Excercise Benefits Beyond The Burn
The calorie burn is what motivates most of us to get our exercise in, but I have quickly discovered two added benefits. Firstly, it makes me want water! It also seems to have been a godsend in minimizing my night sweats, so I am getting a much better night's sleep. Both great benefits to my overall health. Surely there are…

day one of new goal
Well, I have been at this for nearly 11 months now, and while I have had alot of success I am by no means done.

Zumba DVD?
I need to increase my cardio, and I've been dying to try Zumba. My park district does have a class, but I already have 3 regular "non-kid" commitments that take me away from home every week.

Home vs Gym Equipment
I am curious about the calories burned on the gym elliptical vs my home elliptical. I used the same level and the same time, at the gym I was able to enter my weight but at home I am not. For 30 mins at the gym I burned 326 calories and 30 mins at home I burned 500. Which one is right? That is quite a difference, any ideas?
