Shoveling Snow !!
Did you know shoveling snow is an awesome calorie burner? I missed my workout twice last week. I was extremely excited to discover the snow I shoveled from my driveway not only counted as a workout, but really burned those calories!

Biggest Loser's Migdalia...UGHHHH
Does anyone who watches the biggest loser think that Migdalia should smile for once? She looks miserable and seems to be handling her problems the completely WRONG way. She has the biggest chip on her shoulder. I can tell right now, she is going to be my LEAST favorite contestant just because of the negative vibe she…

Snow-shoeing / Hiking a mountain
Hi folks. Any recommendations on where to find a calorie estimator for snowshoeing/hiking a mountain? I see most out there assume snow-shoeing is cross country, or hiking a mountain is without snowshoes, for example, but nothing combing the two. I do know that adding snow shoes increases the calorie burn significantly, so…

Question about 30 day shred
Okay. So my boyfriend downloaded the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and I thought it was only 30 minutes long. But the one he downloaded is 90 minutes long, but there's phase 1, phase 2, and a phase 3. So my question is: Do you do the whole thing or is it like after the 1st phase gets easy for you, you move on to the 2nd…

Conflicting number of Calories Burned
Hi everyone, hopefully you guys can help me understand this: when I do the elliptical machine at the gym for 60 minutes it tells me I burn usually around 600 to 615 calories.

Calories burned doing kickboxing or Turbo Jam
Hey mfpers, I found a website that will give you a general idea of how many calories you burn after kickboxing or Turbo Jamming. It is http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp. It is based on how much you weigh and how many minutes you do it. I know it is probably not entirely accurate, but if it is even…

Good morning! Just got back from spin class. Was actually dripping with sweat and thinking about you all!:laugh: I am wondering if sweating produces more sweat?

Does anybody know how you are supposed to hold the wii remote while running. I will be holding it straight up in my hand and it will have me going very slowly and then fast when I haven't changed.
