Wii Exercises
Your favorite Wii games for fitness? We are getting a Wii next month. Originally I was going to get the Wii Fit, but the balance board has a max. of 330 lbs, and DH is over that, so I need something different. The Wii Active looks interesting. But there seem to be several out there!

Accurate-ness of calories on site.
Do any of you wear a heart-monitor and log your calories on here also? I find it weird, I also assumed that you burn about 100 calories per mile ran, but on here I put that I ran 40 min. with a 10min mile, equalling 4 miles and it gives me almost 700 calories! I estimated around 400 calories, thats a HUGE difference! Any…

best running shoes
I just started walking/running for long distances, I've been walking instead of using a car. I wanted to know what you guys think would be the best running shoes to buy. Right now I only have kangaROOS, and I'm pretty sure those aren't even athletic shoes, I'm more of the "wear it because it's pretty even though it makes…

Is heat a factor?
Just curious if the temp of the environment you are in when you work out factors into your calories burned. Like going for a bike ride outside in 90 degree heat as compared to working out inside in an airconditioned gym. Thoughts? P.S. My head feels like its going to explode after my bike ride. I pushed myself to climb a…

Need Some Inspiration
How many of you out there have lost 80+ pounds and managed to tone your body, instead of having flabby arms and tummies? I'm getting closer to my goal and my tummy is really starting to become loose and flabby (I guess that means the fat is breaking up)... I'm really hoping I can tighten my tummy but the more I google it…

Ankle pain after running?
As some of you know, I am training for a 5k. When it fits into his schedule, my boyfriend has been going on my runs with me. He's not overweight, and relatively athletic, but does not have a regular exercise regiment like I do. He does not eat particularly healthy, either but still looks just fine :grumble: Anyhow, today…

Trying to figure out my schedule if I join a gym.
Here's the deal. If I wanted to exercise at home, I'd either have to do videos or jog at 4am OR after work when I get home. Of course, it might be dark when I get home (winter months). OR I could join a gym with DH. The cost would be $45/month for our family, and this gym offers classes, weights, and machines. However, DH…

I Just Don't Understand
I'm looking for a yoga class, and can't find one for under $10 per class. There's like 80 studios in Indianapolis, but the COST is SO prohibitive! That's insane! :angry: Like anything else that is supposed to be GOOD for you, overcharge and make it impossible for most people to enjoy it! :angry: So even at one time per…

Confession :(
So I've managed to lose 24 pounds without exercising at all, which I know is not the way to go but I really hate working out. (Okay I don't really hate it once I'm doing it or once I'm done, I actually really like how it makes me feel.) The problem is I CAN NOT get myself motivated to actually do it. My schedule is pretty…

What's so great about Polar HRM???
If you are really serious about losing weight than getting a HRM is some of the best money spent for sure BUT I don't understand why everyone wants to get the Polar HRM?

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 23rd
So, I couldn't do the pose. I just don't have the strength. I haven't decided about today's class. My back is still sore from all the twisting, but I don't think we would do the same sort of thing again. Decisions, decisions. I need to write up some classes for this weekend's set of three. I know I'm doing one balance…
