Question about pilates
Im not sure if I know what these are...? Are pilates like doing calisthenics? I hear about them all the time, but Ive never tried it. Also, are they ok for people my size to do or are the moves harder to do if your very big? I get dvd's from netflix, so it isnt like I would be going out "buying" a dvd and wasting my money,…

Question for runners . . .
So I've decided to start running, because I've heard that it has really great health benefits. I went to the Student Activity Center on campus to run their indoor track . . . but I'm not sure how long it is. I tried timing a lap at a mild run, something between an all-out run and my normal pendantic jog, and I made a lap…

I ran today
Today I ran for 15 minutes, jogged really. I walked for 30 minutes. This is an improvement over yesterday. Yesterday I tried running and managed 8 minutes. I have been reading some of the posts about running and I think for me it might be the key to slimming my mid section. I also have read that if I keep with it I win one…

My new HRM

I don't believe in coincidence but Sunday I did 45 minutes of Jillian Michael's ultimatum with a mix of different events most of which was jogging in place and the calories burned on my HRM was 301. Today I did 30 minutes of Free Run on my Wii Fit and…

I found out that I am getting a Wii and Wii fit for Christmas (Amazon left the invoice on top of the wrapped package without an envelope). Is it a good enough workout to quit the gym or is it more just to have fun and supplement regular treadmill workouts? I would love to dump my $50 per month payment to the gym in the New…
