ladies....
Do you do your regular work out when it's your TOM, or do you lower the intensity? I did my usual on Sunday and Tuesday but I was struggling and my legs felt like they weighed a ton, yesterday I started with my usual and just ended up walking instead of running. My TOM started today and I just don't feel like running at…

ABB drinks
Has anyone tried the American Body Builder workout drinks before? The Ripped Force and Speed Stack drinks are buy one get one free at my gym this month so I tried it. The Ripped Force has 90 calories and almost no caffiene (Speed Stack has a decent amount of caffiene so I passed on that one). I've drank it throughout my…

Wii Fit?
So, my husband bought us a Wii Fit... and I'm just wondering... Is this really a good thing? I mean, I played one or two of the little mini games and at the end, it tells you you've burned 13 calories. Ok, so if I do that particular mini game 10x, I will have burned 130 calories, right? Is it silly to burn up your calories…

Resting Heart Rate
According to my HR monitor, my resting heart rate on average is between 69-80. I think 80's a bit high and I am wondering if this is a concern since I am very active and I walk all day at work. Shouldn't I be burning more calories with a higher resting heart rate? Any ideas/suggestions?

New Hampshire running
Hi There-I had a baby in December of 2008. I started running in May and did a 5.2 miler in 54.10. I would have loved to have run it faster but I only trained for 4 weeks and the first mile I did in 8 minutes and kind of killed myself for the rest of the time! I was up to running 3-4 times a week, my longest being 6 miles.…

Looking for Workout Buddy in Portland, Maine!
I copied this idea from poeticjustice_2001 (hi!) but I think it's pretty brilliant. As I told her, I feel like this website is a pretty safe place and that we've all formed a community. Of course there are creeps everywhere but I'm pretty comfortable with meeting someone from this site to exercise or share diet tips...I…

Spin Class
I need someone who wears a heart monitor/cal counting watch to tell me how many cals are burnt during a one hour class of intense cycling/spinning. I heard from 400-800 that is pretty vague.

sweating?
I've noticed lately while doing the same workouts I've been doing for many months that I am sweating a lot less. I've cut down the time on the treadmill a bit because I was reallyyy overdoing it in the summer. Could I be sweating less because I've lost pretty much everything I had to, or do I need to start working out…

Fit-Flops
I don't know if anyone else has tried Fit-Flops, but they are a type of shoe that is supposed to give your legs and core a workout when you walk. One thing I can say for certain is that they sure are comfortable and help improve posture. I got mine from Footsmart, but I think they are sold in several places, plus they have…

What do you do after the 30 days are up?
I am finishing up on the 30 Day Shred and just wondering what everyone does once they have finished. I don't want to lose all of this hard earned muscle:) Do you just start over on Level #1 or move on to a different DVD? I was thinking about this schedule: Mon-#1, Tues-#2, Wed-#3, Thur-#1, Fri-#2, Sat-#3, and Sun off. Any…

SHAKE WEIGHT
This is the most ridiculous product I have seen next to the contraption that you sit down and plug to your stomach that pulsates and claims to give you abs. Have you seen this and what do you think about it? I think it is a complete waste of money and just pure laziness. https://www.shakeweight.com/ver4/index.asp

Polar F4 Heart Rate Monitor
Does anyone have one? My husband gave me an early Christmas gift and I was just wondering how accurate it is? I'm probably going to test it out today. My biggest issue is I don't want to cheat myself if it says I'm burning more than I really am. It had pretty good reviews. I just want to know everyones feelings about it.…

Loading trucks
I just started a job at UPS. I am loading semi's with boxes and tires (boxes can weigh anything from 5lbs to 60lbs) and on average, I work about 4 hours a day. When I put it into my exercise journal, it says that I burn over 2000 calories just doing my work, can that be true?

Nothing like new running shoes!!
I finally broke down (before my legs broke down) and used a $25 coupon from Eastbay.com to get some new running shoes--early christmas present. I have been running in ASICS GT series shoes the last couple of years--this time I got the GT-2140. I like the feel a little better than New Balance and this style is one of the…
