Pain in the...foot!
Hi, I have a question. I started back working out last week, and I've noticed that I get really bad pains in my feet. Now I am flat-footed, so Im sure that may have something to do with it. But I found that Im having the worst pain when I do my exercise videos at home. Do I need a different shoe for these exercises? Right…

Starting C25K
I am thinking about starting C25K as my news years resolution and making it my goal to be able to finish the 9 weeks. I am terrified of running though. I always feel like I can't go any further and I feel like I'm going to "die" after running for only a few mins...and end up usually giving up. I have tried a program…

C25K question
I am in Week 2 and I happened to look ahead to the upcoming weeks. I am totally freaked out!!! I psyched myself out by seeing how fast the amount of time you have to run goes up.

Other simple things to do at home?
I have a lot of things I have to take care of at home so it doesn't give me a huge amount of time to do things but after I walk on my treadmill and stretch, sit ups etc. Wondering what other people do through out the day as far as exercise goes? (Sometimes I lift weights because I have some in my garage, heh)

losing inches
Just having an out loud thought. I always find it amazing that you can lose inches without losing weight. I understand its partially due to muscle mass, I just find it comical that your getting smaller and you total mass and weighing the same. Can you tell I have hit a slight plateau by posting this? lol

Heart Rate
I have noticed over the last several months it has become harder and harder to elevate my heart rate to 130. When I first started I had no problems but now I have to use incline and higher speeds to get it up. What does this mean? Does this mean I am getting healthier?

What do you run to?
Hello! I'm in desperate need of some good up-beat music to run to. So, what kind of music do you play when you run? Any suggestions are welcome, but I'm not a big fan of techno or heavy stuff. Here are a few that I have on my iPod now: B.O.B. - Outkast - the BEST song by far to run to Dare - Gorillaz Rebel Yell - Billy…
