Hi everyone...I'm still learning all of this stuff, so I'm going to keep asking questions of all you knowledgeable folks.

Workout Nausea?
Workouts have begun to make me really nauseous and I’m wondering if I need to add something to my diet to make it stop considering the following factors: I take a multivitamin and a fiber pill every morning. I exercise around midday when my son takes a nap, so by then I’ve already had breakfast and my first snack.…

Cardio intervals--a great way to improve your fitness
I am sure many people know this already, but it never hurts to repeat. We all know that, with exercise training, the body does what we ask it to do--if you do the same thing all the time, your body will establish a "balance" at that level. To continue improving, you need to challenge yourself on a regular periodic basis.…

Cardio Rowing, eliptical, squat, jumping rope, jump jack, mountain climb, maybe treadmill-could not start up the machine fast enough after 10 sec stop) Swimming is a NO-When I grab for air, I compromise my…

Rant: People just don't get it ?!
So I ran a 'support our troops' navy 10k in Nova Scotia today and this woman in a car was freaking out at a police officer and honking her horn because she was in a hurry to get somewhere on a Sunday morning....Sometimes I don't know how people can live with themselves. We are supporting people who lay their lives on the…

So jealous
Last year my boyfriend and I bought matching bikes from Target so that we could ride together and lose weight. He rode it once, I stuck with it and am still riding. I wrote the other day about how in danger of a heart attack he is because of how he eats and his lack of exercise, so he is making an effort to start working…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo! Week of Aug 10th
Welcome to a new week! I did a circuit with at the gym yesterday - it's like a curves circuit. I'm convinced that yoga doesn't use the pecs much - they hurt every time I lift weights. I did the overhead press and tricep curl at the same level as my husband - lots of down dogs, I guess. Today, I'm teaching at 10, then…

Skipping
I'm a trainee teacher, and today some Canadian chick (Jill Strong, apparently super good at jump rope of all things) came to our school here in NZ today.

What would be an acceptable "fat calorie used" ratio?
Question I have is that when I check my daily exercise log, the Polar F6 gives me approximate calories and how much of that is fat calories burned. Most of the time, of the cals I burn, about 55% are fat cals, according to my Polar. Is that good, bad, or average? I will admit to not being a queen of cardio - I will get…

How DOES heart rate factor into calories burned?
