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. If I could at least cut down on the fat on my sides, I think I would be a bit happier and okay with the fat on the front of my…

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…

Reebok EasyTone
I just wanted to let everyone know, if you haven't bought these shoes, GO OUT AND BUY THEM! I've been wearing them for about a month now, and my butt has LIFTED! It's a miracle. I almost have my old butt back. And my boyfriend also loves the difference. It's kind of tricky walking in them at first. They have those balls on…

belly fat! help!
I think I set my weight loss goal to 18lbs, and I think that if I just firmed up I'd be really happy, I'm not looking for huge drastic changes really! My biggest issue is my BELLY!!

Accuracy of my heart rate monitor
Okay, I broke down and got a heart rate monitor/calorie counter. I used it yesterday at the gym and it was PRETTY accurate; matched almost calorie for calorie for 20 minutes on the elliptical. However, I'm using it this morning at work and it appears I've burned almost 1000 calories in four hours. Huh? While I tend to…

Exercise after hysterectomy
I am planning a hysterectomy at the beginning of June. I will probably reach my goal before then but am worried that my healing time will undo the level of fitness I should have by then. Are there any suggestions for making sure I don't undo all the hard work I've done over the last few months?

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo Feb 8th
Happy New Week. I got the shoes last night. I'm going to try them today on the treadmill. They are very strange to wear. They feel too tight. I also have a private lesson tonight with my yoga teacher - so good exercise times all round. Because of the success of the "Born to Run" book, the shoes are a little hard to find -…

Strength Training
I just added strength training to my routing. I know I should have been doing it all along, but I really don't like to do it. I enjoy cardio more. Anyway, is it normal to gain a few pounds when starting strength training, because you are adding muscle?

"Bonking"
Now I know what this means. The last 2 days my workouts have been extremely hard to get through and have left me completely wiped out. Tomorrow is my stretch day and not a moment too soon. Does this mean I should add more food to my menu? The weight has been coming off really quickly, so it wouldn't be bad if it slowed…

Getting your personal training certification
I have been toying around in the back of my mind of doing something either full time or part time in the field of fitness. I am not currently a member at a gym, so I can't really teach aerobics or another class. Have any of you gotten your personal training license or anything? What does that involve? How easy is it to…

Can't workout if family is home?????!!!!!
This year to save time and money I decided to not renew my gym membership. Instead I purchased The P90x workout program and a treadmill. My problem is that I cannot workout if my husband or son are at home. They literally have to leave the house for an hour so I can workout because it seems like they have to interupt me…

Heart rate?
My HR monitor beeps when I go below or above my target HR (I don't know how it calculates my target HR - based on my age and weight, I guess?). Is there any danger of going above my target HR? Wouldn't I be burning more calories/fat if I go over?

Torn muscle
So last week I tried to do level 2 of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and heard a pop. Went to the doctor and he diagnosed it as a torn muscle in my lower back. So I was taking muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory for a few days and I'm feeling much better now! I'm really itching to get back into working out or even on the…
