30 day shred question
I just bought the 30day shred by Jillian Michaels. I know a lot of you love this video. Is there anyone out there that couldn't get through level 1???

If you're getting a personal trainer...
PT's can be a GREAT help. They can be motivational and supportive, putting together creative programs specific to your goals and needs. Or they can be lazy and just in it for the money, pulling plans off the internet 5 minutes before you meet. They are just like any other employee--varied. It's important that you find out…

Calories Burned Not Matching Up?
Ok, I don't have a true HRM so let me get that out of the way, I know that will be the first question to this post. However, according to the treadmill this morning, I burned 362 calories but when I input it into MFP, it says 253. That is over 100 calories difference and I am confused. :huh: I was on the treadmill for 30…

Turbo Jam/Hip Hop Abs
Hi all. I'm curious to know if anyone has tried either, or both, of these routines? I've seen infomercials on them and they look like they could be fun and beneficiary. Normally I don't pay much attention to infomercials, but since these don't require me to buy expensive machines, they caught my attention. I'm tired of…

For the morning crowd: How do you record calories burned whi
I'm interested in buying a few. I think that I would be much more comfortable doing those in my own home than going to the gym everyday. The only problem I have with that though is that I do not own a heart rate monitor so how would know how many calories I burned doing a DVD workout. Does anyone have any solutions? Sorry.…

How do you tone & strengthen?
I just got into spinning a few weeks ago, but that is basically just fun cardio. I don't know how to lift weights correctly or use the weights/resistance machines at the gym and I don't have the $ to pay a personal trainer to show me. I was thinking of trying yoga for toning, but what else can I do?
