stress fracture?
Our training group had a 7 mile run yesterday and towards the end I got this horrible pain in the bottom of my foot and toes. I am limping badly today. The trainer said to get it xrayed for a stress fracture if it doesn't get better. Anyone else have a stress fracture? Help! Bunny

To eat or not to eat! (before or after!)
Hi everyone, I keep getting told by different people that's it's best to eat before working out and from others best to eat after. I don't really like eating beforehand, of course I leave time in between but I still don't feel very good doing it. Once and for all, what's the most beneficial way? Before or after!?!

Xflowsion Yoga?
Has anyone done it before? I tried a class yesterday and it kicked my butt!! I do aerobics 3 times a week and run 2 times. So I thought I was pretty fit - Nope. My muscles are so sore - it's a nice feeling. But ouch! What a difference a new workout does!

Accurate?
I got my new polar last week and I did pilates with it on and it said I burned 263 in one hour! Then today I did the treadmill and it said I burned 180 calories in 18 minutes which is MORE than what the treadmill itself said. The treadmill said I burned 105 calories. Is this really accurate? I thought the treadmills would…

MFP Runner's Club January 25
Where are all of the runners today? I completed my first half marathon this morning. I have run the distance before, but always on my own. It was a great course.....mostly downhill. My leg that has been bothering me for several weeks was fine until about mile 10. I stopped twice to stretch it and finished strong. I hope…

P90X and Pull ups
I am about to start my 4th week of P90X and I am struggling with the pullups. Even back in the days when I used to lift pretty frequently and was in agood shape I have always struggled with pullups.

Nike +
My husband & I just discovered this system (I guess we're a little slow:smile: ). I was just wondering who's been using it and what you think. Do you think it's pretty accurate? Is it just for running/walking or will it track any activity you do, i.e. aerobics, Power 90, Volley Ball, etc.

Question about HRM??
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. When I use it for exercise, it's always way higher than what is on MFP exercise picks. Example: I walked/ran my dogs for 30 min today, and HRM said I burned 536 calories. I think the site says around 120 something. Something isn't right here??? What do y'all think. Thanks for your help.…

Just Smile!
I HATE exercising, but I have a strategy to change that. I earned a bachelor's in psychology, which make me no expert, but I did learn a few things. Apparently, if a person engages in an undesired activity, but fakes a smile while they do it, the brain will associate positive feelings with the undesired activity. So... I…

Just bought a timex heart rate monitor and have a question
...about maximum heart rate. They recommend that you do two tests with it to find out your max heart rate - one's a step test and the other's a chair test. Now, I have a question: Do I REALLY need to do that or can I just go with what's normal for my age - the age charts they have in the gyms, for example? I'm quite fit,…

walking backward on treadmill
I saw them do this on Biggest Loser because it uses different sets of muscles. I tried it today after my normal 60 min workout. (Had my hubby standing by incase I wiped out!) You have to keep your hands on the bars for support... I could really feel the burn in my quads! Has anyone else tried this? I could only go 2mph...…

Ok I have been doing the biggest loser workout dvds (cardio and body scuplter)that I saw an ad for on tv and I do alter every other day and I can personally say that I do feel my muscles tighten up. I also love the dvd cause it has the people from the show working out on it. So it makes you feel like you are there with…
