I smoked and drank a ton of coffee and drank 3-4 energy drinks a day. So I…

I want to exercise but can't!
I'm so mad, I just started the Ramp it Up in slim in 6 and then my stupid body had to go and get sick! I had the hideous flu, I feel tons better but I still have a cough. I was going to try and do it yesterday but just a little physical activity at work and I could feel stuff build up in my chest. I'm going to play it safe…

convincing myself
Okay. So I have quite frankly never been to a gym. I have one very near my house but the thing is that I havent a clue how to work the machines. Do I do it myself? Ask a friend to come with me? I have a hubby that would go with my but somone needs to take care of the kids. Why am I sooooo... nervous about going to the gym?…

Seeing results...
I'm not being impatient - just a little curious.. How long does it normally take before you start seeing results from working out? I started working out last week, and am doing 3-5 days a week of cardio and weight training (only a total of 50 min./day as that's all I can fit into my schedule). Like I said - not expecting…

Shoveling snow
Ok, I know my back hurts to the point where I can't lift anything after the snow plows decided to cover my car with 4 feet of snow. That shoveling had better have won me a few extra calories today. Anyone have any idea how much shoveling snow can burn?

Working Out When Sick
:sick: I have some lovely bug, pounding head and very iffy tummy for past 2 days. The bad news is no exercise whatsoever yesterday, able to do 3 miles day before but I did NOT feel good afterwards.

Once again, I thank you Gilad...
So, I had some appointments early this morning, and usually I work out first thing in the morning, so I knew I was going to be working out this afternoon instead. I got home and ate some lunch, then was laying on my bed REALLY not wanting to work out, but I knew I would feel better after I did. So, I dragged myself…

How do you log in Wii Fit workouts?

will crunches make me look "like fatter?"
this is and was terribly embarrassing: i was doing crunches at our student health center recently and one of the trainers--who are grad students in physiology--sort of pulled me aside and said the following: "um, you might want to hold off on the crunches until you're a little, like, more slender." I asked why. she said,…

What order do you exercise in?
I know a lot of people rotate days between cardio and strength, but I've got to do certain strength exercises every day for physical therapy. So here's my question: If I'm doing 30 min of cardio and 30 min of strength - which should I do first? Is there a logical order to this that I'm just not catching? And I do these at…

How does the exercise log know how many calories you've burn
When I put in my exercise time on whatever machine I used at the gym, it automatically puts a calorie amount in the other box. It's always different from the number on the machine at the gym. Who is right????:huh:

Cardioke with Billy Blanks Jr
Hey everyone!! I was wondering if anyone has done this. I found it on the Exercise on Demand channel. and I loved it!! It is the first workout that I have in a long time that I actually enjoyed!! It is more like dancing (and yes, you do sing!) rather than exercise. The singing is to help you build stamina. I did for 3…
