calculating calories burned in exercise
I am just wondering how accurate the MFP database is, in your opinion, for calories burned? The reason why I ask is because I keep reading posts where people are saying they've burned 800, or 1,000 calories exercising... I can't imagine that, unless I am figuring something wrong. I jogged three miles today at about 12…

Stiff Muscles
They're NOT sore ... just stiff and I started to feel it all over towards the end of last week. I'm not even sure if I'm feeling as energized as I used to. I took my day off on Sunday and am feeling about the same today. I decided to not increase the intensity or length of my workouts this week but I did decide to stretch…

Can you charge a personal trainer with Attempted Murder?

Physically Sick when Exercising... what's up??
I have been very discouraged lately. After a few months of exercising no problem, I have begun to feel really sick when I exercise. I get light-headed and nauseous. I've had to up and leave spin class twice now. It's embarrasing and frustrating. The instructor came over to me and was like what is wrong with you because…

heart rate monitors
May I ask how they can help you? So far I know that they let you know when you are in your target bmp (beats per minute) and so it can help you calculate how many calories you burned in a day. Does anyone know, how long you try to stay in your zone? Is it just how ever much you want to burn for the day? What do the health…

Polar F-11 fitness test
How accurate is this test? Why do I ask?? I redid my HRM fitness test both yesterday morning and then again today to double check it- I got a reading of only 26 "fair". Last August when I bought the HRM the fitness test gave me an "elite" reading of 55... it went down a bit to 47 & 48 by November (still "elite"). I'd…

People look at you like you're crazy when....
Your treadmill breaks so you go from store to store trying out new treadmills and "logging" each 10 minute trial in your exercise journal. I found a new treadmill AND got my exercise in!!! Oh how I wish that I could have afforded some of the more expensive models...

HRM problem?
I recently bought a HRM and used it for the first time while on an elliptical machine. I programmed the HRM with my age, height, gender, and weight. I programmed the elliptical with my age and weight. The calories burned according to the HRM was 196, while the elliptical showed 297 calories burned. I assume the HRM is more…

Nike sport bag is the bomb!
Recently my partner and I decided we were going to join a local gym that caters to people with hectic schedules (open 24/7). We both needed a decent gym bag we could keep stocked and in the car.

Running Outside vs. the treadmill
I've been trying to log my exercise daily and I notice there's no way to say if you're running outside vs. on the treadmill. I've heard running outside burns a lot more more calories. Does anyone know roughly how many more calories you burn running outside (with a few hills) vs. on the treadmill? I know I can easily run 50…

Treadmill suggestions?
Well - it's happened... I borrowed my moms treadmill to get me started and it turns out that even though a treadmill hasn't been "used" for 11 years... it can be "worn out". It would appear that the motor is going bad... grrrr. Seeing as me being without a treadmill is simply not an option... I was wondering if anyone has…
