How Do I Count This Exercise?
I just completed a fairly rigorous exercise tape which included a warm up followed by weight lifting and a cool down. The reason it's so hard to quantify is because the leader would do lunges while simultaneously doing overhead presses. She would then go on to another "two-fer" and then return to that exercise or a variant…

Polar HRM Uplink Tool
Does anyone upload info to their computer off the Polar HRM using the uplink software? I downloaded the uplink tool, followed the instructions. It says the information tranferred successfully but I don't see anything else. I thought it's supposed to be able to track your progress somehow. I have the Polar F4.

Rebuttal to TIME anti-exercise article (from real expert)
This is a brief rebuttal, (it is on the ACE website, after all) but it is from a long-time, well-established fitness experts and it does have some references, which is always nice. Cedric Bryant PhD was I believe one of the founders of Stairmaster (I know he ran the company for a long time when it was a separate entity)…

Pros and Cons of running twice a day
I'm basing most of this off of this article at Runner's World: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267--13199-0,00.html Our company is changing around management, which means my schedule is a lot less freeform than it used to be (basically they want me there on time now, despite my staying 2-3 hours late…

Lifting weights + calorie deficit?
Hey guys. I have a lot of body-building friends (well, more than one would expect from a once-overweight computer nerd) who lift weights daily. They tell me that when they're really lifting to gain muscle mass, they tend to eat 3-4000 calories a day. I have lost (since joining MFP) about 77 lbs, and am currently on a diet…

Question for experienced runners?
I would like to start a running routine. The problem right now is that I can barely run or even jog at all right now. After only a minute of running I am gasping for air and have to stop running and walk instead. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who started out like me and is now a bonified runner. If so, how…

Running Distances or Times?
I had decided to do a 1/2 marathon in December, but now I am having second thoughts. I ran a 10K trail run race last week and hurt my hip. Most likely my core wasn't up for the longer stride/faster pace. I rested it for a week and now I am slowly adding in running. I did 0.5 miles this morning to test the waters and can…

Exercising
Lately I've been having trouble riding my stationary bike for 30 minutes straight. I have asthma and I can't catch my breath so I've been cutting the session in to two 15 minute intervals. Is that still considered 30 minutes a day or does it mess up the metabolism? I'm trying really hard but it scares me when I can't catch…
