Preparing for a race
I am preparing for a race in July. The race is 6.2 miles, I have to admit I am a little nerveous. Today I ran 5.24 miles. Yesterday I ran 4 miles. I have never like to run. When I was younger being thin came natural I never ran or worked out. I didn't think I needed too. But now that being naturally thin is thing of the…

First half marathon
Hey guys! I just ran my first half a couple of hours ago! It was so such a great experience. I run often but usually not more than 7 miles, that extra 5 miles was challenging. I had so much fun I'm ready for the next race! Woo-hoo! I would encourage everyone to run a race and finish it no matter how hard it is because it…

running shoes now or later?
I am walking my first 10K next Saturday and I am a little unsure of what to do about shoes. I have never really used good shoes for working out, for instance my shoes right now are sketchers and while they are sports shoes, I am sure any true athlete would laugh at them. So I had planned on asking my dad for nice running…

Exercise Calories to Eat or not to Eat
No wonder we are all confused. Factoring exercise into your weight loss plan You can exercise more to lose weight, but beware of this idea. Most people don’t realize how much exercise is needed to lose weight without cutting calories. Plus, exercise increases appetites. If a dieter can avoid eating any more than was…

Best workout at the gym for your thighs?
So I REALLY need some help with my thunder thighs and I'm wondering what people thought was the best equipment at the gym to shrink them. I use the elliptical a lot and have since upped the intensity to a 7 and I can feel it in my legs which is great! But maybe the treadmill is better or the bike? Or maybe I should just…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - March 28th
Wow it's early - and windy - and cold. The wind chill is 30 degrees. I don't care where you live, that's too cold to go for a 4 hour bike ride. The winds are going to pick up to about 20 mph around 9-10am, with gusts up to 35 mph. I think I'm going to see some people get knocked over today. I keep reminding myself that I…

Jillian Michael's MAKING THE CUT
Anyone done this 30 day program? The menus sound amazing (it will be nice not to think of what to cook for 30 days), the workout sound manageable (except the 2 x's daily, but I think I could do at least 10 workouts per week, if not the 14). Anyone want to share their experience (OR join me???). :flowerforyou:

MFP Runners Club 3/26/09
Good Morning Runners. I did an easy 3.5 miles today. I ran with the usual running group but none of my counterparts were there to run with me so I adopted someone who needed help. I let her set the pace and ran with her and then at the end I forced her to pick up the pace a little more to get her out the her comfort zone…

Craving.... exercise??
For the first time in a LONG time I found myself craving exercise. Like one would crave a cookie. I've already worked out for an hour today. But I just had a sudden mental craving for an elliptical workout. Weird. Awesome, but weird :laugh:

Posture
I'm not sure if this belongs in "fitness and exercise," but it didn't really belong in the others, so here it is. :smile: I was wondering if anybody has any good tips around posture. My posture is fine when I'm standing and whatnot, but when I sit I just slouch. I usually slide down as low in my chair as I can and I'd like…

Cardio exercise at home

How do I use my heart rate monitor?
So I finally got my heart rate monitor, and I guess I was envisioning some magical device that I could set with my weight and that, at the end of my workout, would tell me exactly how many calories I burned. Turns out it just tracks my heart rate as I'm going, and it's up to me to figure out what that means in terms of…

Until next time
So I am on this mission to walk a mile on the Elliptical at the gym. Well the first time I walked 0.50 and today I made it to 0.80 ( Good job me!!). My husband had to laugh at me as we were leaving because I looked at the “ mean machine “ and told it…” Until next time you horrible machine, I WILL defeat you “. And I’m not…

In fact, since I've done cardio for the last 4 days straight, I don't need to do any more this week - just yoga sometime over the weekend and a couple more strength routines. I did my strength workout this morning, and will do my…

Ideas for Weight Lifting- Good Site
I've found this website to be helpful with trying to get into weight lifting. When I first started I would sort of stare at the weights, not sure what to do. The people are stick people, I know, but you can put them in motion to see HOW to do the exercise. I personally can not read about an exercise and figure out what the…
