Nuffield Health Members
I have just been to my nuffield health centre to have a look around as I am between gym memberships. It would be £55 a month, which compared to £35 is a big jump. Is it a club worth joining? Is it really worth £55 a month? I would like any opinions, good or bad. Otherwise I will go back to harpers. Thank you

Shake Weight Review
I am a sucker for all things infomercial. Today I was at Target and was lured into the Shake Weight. Just had my first workout and thought that I would share my experience. First, do not do this workout if there is anyone in the room who might make fun of you. It looked like I was... well, you've see the commercial. I…

Sore knee..doesn't make sense
Hi all, I'm a 26 yr old female. I've never really had any health besides being over weight. Anyway, I've been working out since August. I did take 2 months off for the holidays, but I've been doing Zumba, step, yoga, and elliptical for at least 6 months now. This week I added the treadmill and was able to run for 5 mins…

Looking for a new scale
I have a dial scale, but not sure it's always accurate. I'm looking for a good, digital, easy to afford scale. I heard Health-O-Meters are pretty nice and around $30 at Walmart. Any other suggestions?

treadmill vs bike
I do 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.8 mph and it says I used about 175 calories...BUT the same time on the bike at 17.5 mph is 500 calories. Is it the equipment or is it true? I am sweaty after both--but my thighs hurt more on the bike.

Need a good work out video.

So what I was wondering is if anyone has a name of a REALLY good cardio workout dvd or something that I can do at home.…

DVD recommendations that won't kill my knees?
I've been doing Slim in 6 and the squats, lunges and plies are killing my knees! Particularly my right knee. So I haven't done it for 3 days trying to give my knee a rest and it's still achy. I don't want to fall off the wagon - this is the first time in ages I've stuck with something for more than a few weeks, but I don't…

Frustrated...knee trouble...questions
Weeks ago I started running/walking 3x/week. Within the last 2-3 weeks I got Jillian Michael's 30-day shred and was doing that every day for 20 minutes. Now I seem to be having problems with my right knee. It's really not sore or painful, it just makes this terrible cracking noise. I can't get to a doctor until early next…

Does this happen to you?
Does anybody else have days where you just can't get into your workout? I went to a Turbo class tonight, which I go to multiple times a week, but I just felt like I wasn't fully into it, no matter what. Don't get me wrong, I worked up a sweat, but I wasn't putting my all into it. What do you do when you're in that…

Jogged for 20 minutes!!!
I am the type of person who gets in to a routine and likes to keep it. I guess I am stubborn that way. My routine for YEARS has been walking at 4.0-4.3 mph on a 7% incline for 60 minutes. Today, I decided I was going to break this routine and change my workout up a bit on the treadmill. I ended up jogging a total of 20…

I Finally Did it....
I finally came to the conclusion mentally that I needed physical activity and fitness to actually hit my weight loss goals. I have been on my personal quest to lose 250 pounds since January 5, 2010 and the problem was that I lost 20 pounds in the first month. I felt it was going to be easy. Well it is 3 weeks past the day…

Losing weight in the stomach/waist area...
Okay, so, this is surely a common thing people wonder about. I, too, am wondering. I have fat on both my sides (love handles) and my stomach... um, area? Haha. It makes me feel awkwardly shaped.

Fat Burner Cardio
I have a question about Cardio. Is there any truth that lower paced cardio burns fat any better than high paced cardio? I think I remember reading something about this but don't remember. On my treadmill if I hit the Fat Burner mode it keeps me at a slower pace and only requires a HR of 122 vs 135 which is where me HR…
