What brand HRM do you use?
I am thinking about buying a HRM. I wanted to ask advise from some of you that love the one you have. Are you happy you bought one? What kind did you get? I am not great at tech stuff and I am a litte afraid that I wont use it if it is hard to program. Or that I would use it right for that matter. What do you all use? How…

What is your workout wear?
Someone posted this on a forum on another website, and it made me curious about what people wore in "our" little community here. For me, it's nothing I would consider extravagant, but I do believe in having the right tools for the job, so I don't skimp on what I consider to be the essentials. I am a big fan of "technical…

Strength training is making my legs bigger
I started strength training in November. I see a trainer once a week and we work on legs or arms. Since I started the training three months ago, I have noticed my legs are getting bigger instead of smaller. In addition to the strength training once a week, I take classes for cardio workouts. I am not happy about the…

Are Personal Trainers Necessary?

DVD Exchange
Just a thought, exercise DVDs are a great, cost effective and convenient way to work out but doing the same one over and over can get boring and isn't as effective. Rather than spending lots of money to build up a varied collection does anyone fancy doing a DVD exchange??? i.e. members can post on here what DVD(s) they…

I'm new here. I've tried the diet thing before, but lost the will power to do it soon after starting. This time i am committed to losing weight.

But the workouts seem extreme... are…

Heart Rate Monitors and Weight Loss HELP!?!
I still need help! I understand that my HRM can give me a pretty good estimate of the calories I burn during aerobic activity such as work out tapes, tread mill time, running outside etc... When I do strength training such as weight lifting the HRM will give me a number for calories burned but it's unlikely to be accurate…

Music that gets you pumped

Building muscle your goal?
Hello! I've been weight-training since July 2009, and I'm looking for friends on this site who have the same goals of not just losing "weight"--since that can be a combination of water, fat, AND, muscle, but rather losing "fat" and GAINING muscle! I'm transforming my body and LOVING the way I look and feel. I only had 30…

reebok precision xt
Does anyone have this heart rate monitor? And what are your thoughts on it? I'm debating between a polar and the reebok precision. The Polar sounds great, I'm just not sure that I like the idea of having to send it away for battery changes.

No Exercise for Me?!
Hi all! I went to physical therapy today and was disappointed to learn that I shouldn't be doing my Biggest Loser vids. This is because I have core instability so I depend more on my lower back to get the job done. But, my lower back is out of alignment. Thus, working out is making my back pain worse. I'm not allowed to…

Am I really burning the calories the treadmill says?
Just curious, I've been running for about 10 months now. When I run on the treadmill, I run the first mile at around 7.2 mph, I don't even start sweating until I've ran 2 miles. I really don't ever breathe hard unless I'm doing sprint intervals. So I wonder am I really burning the amount of calories that the treadmill…
