10 minute trainer by Tony Horton
Has anyone tried the 10minute trainer program by Tony Horton? The advertisements seem a little out there to me. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the workouts. I am wondering if they are challenging and if you actually feel like you got a good workout. I am someone who is quite fit already but I want to see some more…

How accurate are calorie counters on machines?
I typically use the elliptical at the gym and I like it because it counts the calories that I burn...or does it? How accurate are those things anyways? Sometimes I leave the gym thinking I burned 800 calories, but I'm barely breaking a sweat. Any answers?? Thanks!

Cardio vs Fat burn calorie question
So when I do my cardio workout at the gym I am given the choice between Fat Burn and Cardio. I had read on this site that I should do fat burn because its better for burning fat off your body. When I did Fat Burn I burned about 230 calories in 30 minutes. But I wasn't really working that hard or sweating at all. So the…

Ab workout video ???
Okay, so I saw an ab workout video advertised a TON last week on tv but now I can't remember, for the life of me, what it was called. It's one that is supposed to tone your whole core including your back, obliques, and all of your ab muscles, without doing any crunches or floor work and is only 10 minutes long. Has anyone…

How Much Can I Lose?
Lets just say I eat healthy (with a few splurges here and there, but nothing major), 1200 calories a day and I exercise 3 times a week (doing 30 minutes of cardio each time, since cardio is the way to burn fat). Do you know approx. how much weight can be lost by June 2009 by eating right and sticking to this exercise plan?

Working on figuring out "training zones" w/Karvonen Formula
heres what I calculated using this "karvonen formula". If there is a better way to figure I am open to suggestions. 220 - 56 = 164 164 - 66 = 98 98 x 85%= 83.3% 83.3 + 66 = 149 beats per minute What I don't get is the statement that comes next after I get this figured. It says: You should now have two numbers that will…

Nike + ipod
I got this little gadget for christmas along with a shoe pouch (I don't like nike shoes) and I LOVE IT! So much better than a pedometer and I can see what my run looks like on the nike + link. Anyway, you can calibrate it for running and walking so if you do both it will track accurately (unlike a pedometer) and you can…

Calories burned
I just got back from the gym. I tried out my new Polar F55 HRM for the first time. The HRM was right on target with the th HRMs on the machines. However, the calorie burn was a lot more than what the machines showed. The stepper on the Polar had me at 354 cals for 15 minutes. I stretched for 6 minutes and it gave me 87…
