Cardio, cardio, cardio...
Okay so I want to incorporate more cardio into my workout. The problem is - I get SO FREAKING BORED!!!!! See with strength training it's like you're moving around, changing workouts, etc. But with cardio, it's just this long boring stretch of one thing. So I'm looking for something, or many somethings that are just…

Heart Rate Monitors
I finally bought my own HRM yesterday and now I don't know what machine to trust. The elliptical I always run on at my gym said I burnt 110 calories in 10 minutes, but my HRM said 170. My heart rate read the same on both machines, so I don't know where there was such a huge difference. I'd love to be able to believe my…

Great Running Bra
I have done some jogging in the past but always gave up because my large breasts always got sore and I would give up. I decided to give running a try again, but wanted to make sure that my ample bustline did not interfere. Did some research and finally bought an Enell sports bra. It was a bit awkward to get it on and the…

Why Does It Get More Difficult?
I find that the more I exercise on my stationary bike, the more difficult it becomes. The first few times I can do the 30 minutes barely breaking out in a sweat, and then by the second week I am struggling after 15-20 minutes. Shouldn't my endurance increase the longer I do it? Should I be doing something differently? I…

How should I go about exercising?

Exercise? That's It?
An odd observation along the way to getting healthier: For so long when I was heavier I would wake up in the morning, stiff, sore, felt like I worked out for hours, when indeed I DID NOT. I used to think I was way too young to feel that bad in the morning. Now that I'm eating better and exercising I feel great in the…

Anyone have Barry's Bootcamp?
Over the last few years that I've tried to get into better shape I've acquired a few fitness DVDs one of those is the Barry's Bootcamp Hollywood Fat Blaster workouts. I've only used it once and it just about killed me. I've been working out for about 2 months now and feel that I could probably tackle them without having to…

Ran with Gel Cushion Insoles Tonight---SOOO Nice!!
I had to go to ****'s Sporting Goods to get my daughter her soccer cleats and while waiting for the shoes I saw the insoles. I had just read an article about a runner who reccommeded them so I got them. I just hate the feeling of "pounding the pavement" on my feet. Tonight was a great run. It totally did not hurt at all…

Calories and Exercise Equipment
I am looking into buying a treadmill, eliptical machine or stationary bike. Which one would work more muscle groups and burn more calories? I don't have much money to spare, so have to choose only one. I know it is best to work different muscle groups as in strength training. But I'd like to get a machine, too. I think it…

Can anyone figure this out?
So, I gave away my treadmill on Craigslist for free because it wasn't powering on since we moved it to our new home. Anyhow, we then decided to buy a $500 elliptical, put it together and ITS not powering on. We tried plugging other things into the outlet and it works fine. I will be so mad if I just gave away a perfectly…
