How to Log Weight Machines...?
I use the weight machines at the Y 6 days a week. (I'm talking about the Cybex brand leg extension, leg curl, leg press, hip ab- and adduction, chest press, overhead press...those sorts of machines.) Anyway, I've been logging these on MFP as 30 minutes of "circuit training" (because that's what my Y calls them) but the 245…

HIIT training for REAL Fat loss
About a year ago I posted a routine I made up that was based on my years as a high school and college football(US football, not soccer) and rugby player. Little did I know it was all just an advanced derivative of the now widely popular HIIT training type (High Intensity Interval Training). Which fatigues muscles to…

Burn more calories in less time
Whenever I feel like I want to get a little lighter (usually because my jeans are feeling a little tighter), I work intervals into my routine. Intervals are one of the fastest ways around to shed fat. Women who spent 20 minutes mixing sprints with jogging lost three times the fat off their legs and butt in 15 weeks than…

ChaLean Extreme day 1
Well I got the ChaLean Extreme program in the mail yesterday and started it today. It certainly is a hard workout. Although I think I can actually go up in weights for some of the moves.

Cardio First or Last
I see many people at the gym doing cardio first and weight training second. I often question this method because of what I have been taught or read.

Random Thoughts on Calories Burned
What has always baffled me are these websites where you scroll down to the exercise you did, add the minutes you did it and it tells you the calories you burned. Some just dwell on them counting every calorie burned like pennies in the bank. Another strange one is when I hop on my treadmill, set it up for my weight, select…

We have a pull-up bar in our apartment, and I occasionally just grab a hold and do a pull up to remind myself I can still do them. Well, same thing happened tonight.
