ok I know everyone is different but
Does it seem a little high to have a cal burn of 700 and 800 when doing a 5 mile one hour walk? I do the Leslie Sansone thing and it seems that that is pretty high. I use a cheap $30 Walmart hrm watch. I am 5'4" 180lbs. I am new to this so would appreciate any input.

Are there any online fitness coaches for free?
I really like being able to come on here and track my food, but I am slacking on the exercise part. I do water aerobics once a week for an hour. I try to exercise at work, we have a small gym, but that requires staying late and then driving an hour home. I know that is an excuse but I am trying. I am severely overweight…

Why have I never done this before!?
Last Tuesday I started waking up at 4:40 a.m. to be at the gym when they open at 5:00. I'm only able to get in about a 45 minute workout. But I'm loving it! My evenings are free for whatever I want to do, I feel MUCH more energized through the day, plus I feel like the weight/inches are coming off faster. On top of all of…

Is there such a thing as too much exercise??
Hello all! I'm already doing POWER90 6 days a week and Taekwondo 3 times a week. I feel great and I think I can do a little more so I was thinking about doing C25K (http://www.c25k.com/).

Hip & knee issues on the elliptical?
I love love love the elliptical to death. In fact, I think the one at my gym is starting to get an imprint of my shoe. My issue is sometimes when I'm going, my knee or hip (usually only on my left side) locks a bit and it makes me kinda jolt. There's no pain (during or after), just a locking. Could I be stepping wrong, not…

So Exercise, how do you even guess the calories?
I am looking to trim up some, lose some gutt. I actually don't eat horridly, but I have opted to watch my calories and then re-fit how I eat to help. Doing that alone I lost a good 17 lbs in a month without exercise. I am also diabetic, so at times, try as I may, I break my limits due to a insulin recovery. I want to start…

Get in the sauna!
I was told by my Zumba instructor that sitting in the sauna for 30 minutes burns 300 calories. She says it speeds up the molecules in our bodies...or something to that effect. I had no idea! I don't like overheating, but I'm so tempted to try this tonight at the gym! She said make sure and bring a ton of water with lemon…

Does anyone do Jackie Warner Total Body Circuit Training. It's called circuit but their aren't the cardio circuits in it......My question is what do you log it as?
