Fairground Rides
Well I was at a fair ground the other day, and realised my heart rate was going WAY up on some of the rides. I know when you exercise you are supposed to increase your heart rate as it is this that burns fat, so I was wondering if you burn fat by riding rides haha. I realise you won't be exercising any muscles so won't be…

Resistance Training 3 or 4 days/week?
I am on week 2 of my workout program. Through my gym, I have a program that I use called the "MobileFit" program. It automates your workouts (it's supervised by a trainer assigned to you) and you follow the routine, plus at least 20 min. of cardio. It gradually increases your weights, etc. or you can manually make…

Ever thought you would never be able to do a triathlon?
Sprint Triathlons are very doable!! Here is the breakdown: 1/4 mile swim(400 yards) 12.4 mile bike ride 5k (3.1 mile) run (usually a 3 hour cutoff time, most are done in 1.5 hours) Crosstraining for a triathlon is less stressful on your body than running alone. So if you've mastered the Couch to 5k and need a new…

Music Ta Get Ya Movin'!!
www.motiontraxx.com and www.djsteveboy.com These sites let you sample the music and download free to your mp3 or iPod. There are a few different bpm's available to keep your heart rate up. Most of it's techno, or techno-based music, which I find keeps me going for longer than the average 3-4 minute songs with breaks in…

Reebok precision XT
I' ve had my HRM for a couple of weeks now and I loved it up until today. It said I burned 80 calories on what should have been about a 250 calorie bike ride. I checked it periodically and even after climbing a steep hill and being tired it would say my heart rate was around 30 or 60, which should have been more like 140.…

Sweat.
I just ran the longest I have ever run without stopping @ 2.9 mi, 6MPH. I know that may not seem like a lot, but 5 weeks ago I stopped running after only 2 minutes, and couldn't make it more than 5 minutes at best! Today I made it 32 minutes, and I have NEVER been dripping with as much sweat as I am now! I love it! Not to…
