I want to get a new pair around the middle of march so that they will still be new but will have that "worn in" feel for the…

Seriously, where do they come up with this stuff?
everybody has a gimmick. I think the premise of good old fashioned hard work has just been thrown out the window. So many of the ads for exercise gimmicks swear that in 3 minutes a day you can look like an ab god/goddess or have the arms/butt/legs that you have always dreamed of. WHATEVER!…

Walking The Dogs
Here in Vancouver, B.C we are being treated to what is warm, dry weather for January. It is in the low 60's and the grass is green. Rhonda and I have added walking the dogs twice a day to our routine. At least while the rains stay away. It feels good to be outside exercising. The dogs love it too. Walking is a great form…

Pain while running
Hi, I did my first long run outside yesterday, and got some pain in my right wrist/hand. I couldn't straighten out my fingers without feeling this sharp pain. It was on the top of my hand as well as my wrist. I ran on the treadmill this week a couple of times as well, for the same time with no pain. Any suggestion on what…

However, every other Friday i have lectures from 9am-5pm and cant get to the gym, as i have to pick the kids up at 5.30. In the Fridays…

Question about how to log exercise?
How do you log exercise routines that are a mixture of strength and cardio? For example, if I do Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred, it's 20 minutes, but it's all mixed up with cardio, and strength and abs... How would I log that in here?

Starting an exercise program
Hi. I'm new to the site and I just re-started my weight loss plan for the millionth time. I always get discouraged and frustrated after a week or so and quit. I'm ready to be fully committed and I really want to start exercising. The problem is that I am SO out of shape. I always end up feeling so badly while I'm…

Need butt busting exercises PLEASE!
Ok, so I am a pretty fit girl, flat tummy and all BUT my butt and back of my thighs are absolutely ridiculous. I have myself on a 1200 calorie diet and for the past two months have been going to the gym at LEAST 4 times a week. Most of the time I do the eliptical on cardio mode for 30 minutes and work up a good sweat.…

Stupid Gym Tricks (I'm glad I used a spotter)
I was doing a traditional lifting day today and pushing up my weights. I decided to try for a new personal best in the bench press. I had just done 4 reps at 185, so I figured I could handle 10 lbs above my previous best of 195. I was sharing the bench with another guy and he offered to spot me. Normally I don't bother…

Hi all! I am looking for some good advice. I have several exercise videos for cardio and strength training and a combo of both. Can anyone tell me which would be better, should I combine a few videos and work on them a couple weeks and then change or should I alternate between all the videos I have on a daily basis? I have…

Beware the tortilla!
So you would think that instead of a piece of bread, a tortilla would be better right? well guess what - tortillas (mission brand, burrito size) are 150 calories each!! anyway I was shocked at this so I thought I'd put the word out there. If you chose to go with healthier tortillas just know that they are much dryer and…

DVD Recommendation
I'm looking for a DVD that works ALL the muscle groups. Oh, I expect a bit of cardio at first, mainly to get the blood pumping and your muscles ready for exercise. I would expect that the DVD would probably be at least an hour long. But I'm really looking for something that works the muscles using free weights. Does anyone…

Diabetics, Exercise, and Foot Problems
I'm a T2 diabetic, and in the last month or so I've noticed my toes start going numb when I walk/run. I have very comfortable running shoes, that fit well, but I'm concerned. I see my diabetes doc on Feb 3rd for regular checkup. I will certainly mention it to her, and hope that it's not neuropathy or anything. Should I be…

Heart rate monitors
OK I may buy a HRM today :heart: I'm really just guessing when it comes to putting in how many calories I burn when lifting weights, and I think I'm burning more than MFP says.

How many here 55+?
I stumbled across another forum topic centered around women 5'10" and taller. To distract myself from evil thoughts, I thought I'd do a roll call of "seasoned" adults on MFP, and see if there were any common issues we might want to discuss. We could be the "Too Old to Rock n' Roll But Too Young to Die Group". My…
