Struggling on the Treadmill.........
I am a "newbie" runner, I REALLY LOVE IT! The fresh morning air, the fresh smells and the sunshine on my face. I really struggle to run on my treadmill. I don't feel that I can run as long or enjoy it as much. With the winter months approaching, I was wondering what anyone else might do to stay motivated and focused on the…

new walking shoes that tone????
So I keep seeing these advertised...I think they are Reebok. Claim to have balance ball sort of action which tones you more while you walk. Not sure I am buying into it. Anyone tried them? I would love to become a believer but the skeptic in me wonders if a shoe can actually make a difference in toning. Opinions wanted…

Anaerobic Exercise & Weight Loss
I've seen some comments that people have made along the lines of saying that Anaerobic exercise doesn't help with weight loss, and that only aerobic exercise contributes to weight loss. I found a well-written article that explains why this isn't true, and I thought I'd share:…

For those with heart rate monitors?
How many calories do you burn during, say, a 30 minute workout with weights? I'm wondering because I just finished a strength training video (with light weights) that had me huffing and puffing and sweating more than my cardio ever does (I have fibromyalgia, and my muscles are pretty weak). MFP says I buned 188 cals. in 30…

Precor's AMT machine!
My YMCA has gotten in a few new machines. One is the Precor's AMT. It is a cross from an elliptical and a stairstepper. Ohmigosh. I have been on it for a week and I swear I've lost a clothes size. Everyone has noticed so it's not just me. I feel strong and so well! You gotta try it. kc

Elliptical and weights and then eat uncontrollable. Why?
I just started back to the Y and did 25 minutes on elliptical and then 25 minutes on the weight machines. Every time I do the weights, I am hungry for days. I have always wondered why I don't lose weight like on the BLoser. I even got into the Halloween candy and thats bad. Tomorrow I'm going back and I don't want to feel…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! week of Nov 9
Howdy y'all. Dessert happened way too many times last week. I will not eat it this week until at least Friday. I just got a sweaty yoga practice in yesterday. A friend was here from out of town, so I spent most of the day waiting for her call. We finally met around 8:30 - I didn't get to bed until after midnight. Today,…

Joint question
Hi there everyone! I was wondering if anybody could answer a quick question. When doing a strength training/sculpting dvd my mom says her joints make a "krackle" noise.

C-section belly
I had three c-sections in four years time. I have been losing weight all over the place, but I can't seem to get rid of my lower belly (right above my scar). It feels pretty hard to the touch. Could this be scar tissue? Any tips on how to make it smaller? I think I could wear lots of smaller clothes if it weren't so big.

Kinda clueless...
Right now I work out 6-7 days a week and I do a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio (elliptical, running, cycling) and then some weight training on my arms, back, and abs.
