Breasts/Bra Question
So I started jogging this week on the treadmill. Right now I've got a pad-less bra on and a sports bra over it, but I'm still jiggly lol. :laugh: I wear a 38D and their pretty saggy. Is jogging going to make them sag even more, even if I have two bras on?

I have an HRM confession
I'm pretty new to this site and in a couple of threads I've bragged about the Sportline Solo 910 Women's HRM. It was (notice was) my first ever HRM and I REALLY wanted one that did not require a chest strap. :grumble: I used the watch for 4 days through various different exercises including walking, jogging & P90X.…

If you work out "with" Gilad, (Bods in Motion) do you know?
Do you know how many average calories you burn during a 30 minute video? I've been doing it as an "extra" in the morning, along with the treadmill in the afternoon. I haven't been counting it, but I think I'd like to start. Thanks!

Should I put 30 minutes?
I walked a mile in 60 minutes walking my dog but there is nothing in exercise that says walking 1.0 mph.. just 2.0 mph, etc. So should I use the 2.0 mph and cut it down to 30 minutes? Thanks.

strength training calories burned
I know that doing strength training i.e. lifting weights burns calories but when you enter it on your exercise log it doesn't show you how many calories you burn doing various exercises with weights. Does anyone know how to figure that out? I want to do this right and eat my exercise calories but it's difficult when it…

Adding P90x workouts to the exercise database
Hi, Question from a newbie. The food database is awesome and seems to have everything I eat. However, I'm doing P90x and trying to enter my workouts. Has anyone figured out how to add their P90x workouts to the exercise database? Is that forbidden for some reason? Thanks. Joe

Running problems
Hi everyone. I was hoping to get some input on some problems I was having during my workout session today. I've gotten to the point where I can run a mile straight without a problem and if I push, I can make a mile and a quarter before I have to walk. My HR tends to get up to 180-range by the end of that, and for the…

rest question
I do a full body strength train every other day with weights and in between those days I do something else like stretches, jogging or a workout dvd. My question is: Am I still letting my muscles rest from strength training if I do a workout video that may work the same muscle groups I did the day before, but im not using…

Which Do You Go By?
When it comes to tracking calories by activity, I'm pretty sure everyone gets different results when consulting with various websites and heart rate monitors. I've been testing my heart rate monitor and its always so much higher than the websites say but sometimes its close. I am so frustrated because I don't know what to…

Goal Body Fat/Weight Equation
I thought some people might be interested in this equation. You do need to know your current body fat to use it. I am using myself as an example. 127 pounds, 25% +-2% body fat 127 * .25 = ~32 lbs of fat (essential and non-essential) 127-32 = 95 lbs of lean tissue (muscle, bone, skin, organs) My goal body fat % is 19%. Here…

I *adore* my new Polar F6
I was really lacking in motivation to go to the gym today until my HRM arrived from amazon.com. I programed all my info and it was very liberating to not have to stop and check my HR. I had a HRM that is a watch and i had to press the two sensors to get a reading. I found out today that I am actually spending more time at…

Work Calories
I work in retail. Out of curiosity I wore my HRM at work and discovered I burn 2000 calories over my resting calories while at work. (So basically I burn 2800 calories whereas I would normally burn 800 calories in that time while sitting still and doing little) ? Should I be inputting this as exercise? It's not an everyday…

abdominals
I exercise like crazy, but I haven't been able to get rid of the mommy pooch. I have had to two c-sections. I had so much scar tissue from the first c-section that they had to go in slightly above it for the second one. I had an appendectomy back in September that left two additional scars on my lower abdomin and one in my…

Subtracting your BMR
Ok hopefully this post doesn't annoy anyone but I just wanted to know how many of you subtract your BMR calories from your exercise calories? Say your heart rate monitor says you burned 200 calories in an hour. Do you subtract the calories you would've burned during that hour not doing the exercise so the actual calories…
