I am very out of shape and although my Dr. said do whatever I feel up to the treadmill is ok but i would like to do more. Any suggestions.

Ilness after weights?
I've noticed a pattern, and not sure what it means (if anything). But though I've been on a great exercise run (5-7 days a week for 13 weeks, 1-2 hours of varying combinations of weight and cardio), whenever I try to push myself on the weights, I get completely sick for days afterwards. Sometimes it's just feeling "off"…

STARVING post workout...
What to do? I'm thinking I will just start to save some extra calories for after working out since I know I will want to eat a lot but does anyone else have this problem and what do you do about it? This week I have done 60 minutes of cardio every evening and then come home and overeat:( HELP!

Treadmill problem
My parents have a treadmill that they don't want anymore and I'd like to have!!! It would be perfect to put my dog on when the weather is bad, but I could use it too! One problem, the little thingy attached to the cord that makes it stop is gone. Is there a way to replace it so I can get it working again? You know the…

Walk for MS... I Did it!
I heard about this walk on TV... so I decided instead of working out with Jillian (30 Day Shred) or my Wii I'd do that this morning. I started at the beginning of the pack. I shadowed two other gals. Towards the end there was only 5 or so people ahead of us (two who ran, one power walking man). I kept up with the gals…

question about running
I started working out doing cardio and weights in Jan. I have consistently went 5 or 6 days a week. I started at 40 min now do it about 1 - 1 1/2 hours a day Mondays are twice a day. When I started I would do fairly easy settings on the elliptical and weights but have slowly increased them as time went on. I am using a HRM…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! April 19th. . .
Morning, pebbles. Bad day yesterday. Had what I discovered was a bad reaction to the tetanus booster I got at the Dr. on Friday. Talk about insult to injury. . .got really nauseous/headache-y and vomited all afternoon. I had a case of the unfairs, I'll tell you what. Apparently, about 2 in 10 adults get this reaction after…

Running a 5k in one week and need HELP!
I am signed up to run my first 5k in 1 week. I am on a team with some friends so obviously backing out is not an option, but my recent workouts haven't been so great. My normal workout is 30 minutes of intervals, which comes to about 3.5 miles. So I originally thought, okay, three miles- no big deal. But because of the…

Using hubby's insensitivity to my advantage...
I posted awhile back about hubby not being supportive and bringing junk in the house even though I ask him not to. You guys were great and very supportive. Anyway, my anniversary was yesterday and he is in Nebraska working. I had hidden his present in his suitcase before he left. He calls me yesterday and tells me happy…

To workout, or not to workout?
I'm currently sitting on this computer trying to figure out if I should go workout or not. It's a beautiful day out, but to be honest all I want to do is sit outside reading or writing for a little. This week I worked out everyday (well except Monday cause I was driving four hours :noway:) So I got in GREAT workouts Tues,…

Calories Burned is not matching
Hello I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this as I'm entirely confused. I used a stationary bike for 40 mins and the machine said I burned 75 calories. I input my weight at the beginning which is 117. Online when I input 40 mins of vigorous stationary biking with my weight, it says I burned about 400…

Elliptical Question
This is probably a stupid question but I am learning!!! The elliptical only measures distance in revolutions. How do you figure out the actual distance? Can you figure it out based on stride length and number of revolutions? Thanks for any help. Not sure why this is bothering me so much! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Easy…

I have Turbo Jam and didn't know it.`
Or remember anyway. I was "collecting" my workout DVD's and tapes (there are a butt load) to see if I had something to change up with walking/running. I have Turbo Jam!!!! Apparently my sister bought this (she hates exercise) and didn't even open it so she gave it to my daughter a long time ago apparently (the date on it…

dvd workout videos
I recently moved and am still unpacking. I don't know when I will come across my workout dvds. All I can find are my VHS ones. And our new dvd player doesn't do vhs tapes. I have looked them over at Wal-mart(that is where I would go buy them) but told myself that was silly to buy some because I have some at…

was anyone else skeptical about 30 Day Shred?
I just started 30 Day Shred. I've been really excited waiting for it in the mail and it FINALLY got here. As excited as I am, i'm a little skeptical that it will give really noticeable results with just 20 minutes a day. clearly, i am NOT expecting to look like jillian michaels or the other girls in the video after the 30…

Super excited, is this even possible?
I have been running (well, jogging) an average of about 15-20 miles a week and love it. I am signed up to do my first 5k next week but I have another opportunity that is a dream of mine. I have a slot to run in the NYC marathon!!! I have 6 and a half months to train, I think this is possible. I just would absolutely love…

Hip / Thigh / Butt excercises...?
Okay so today I got size 0 jeans [not bragging, just saying :tongue: ]. And like they fit me, but I still think I look fat. I think its just because my hips and butt are big, lol compared to the rest of me cause i'm really skinny everywhere else. So i was just wondering if there are any good exercises for that area? Like…

Nintendo Wii Fit
I complained to my husband so much recently about my weight that he splurged for the entire Wii Fit set up. I am about 136lbs over weight and only 30 years old. I use it for at least an hour a day and most certainly do start sweating pretty good, I also walk with my neighbor around the golf course with my dog too for about…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo...April 18th
Happy Saturday folks! Ok, Everyone - a question for you: How do you deal with stress? If you don't have an answer, time to come up with one. This can be how you deal with small stresses: being cut off in traffic or big stresses: money issues. Find something. I think the "eating reward" thing is stress related, but I could…
