Last night I ordered my copy of Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum 2009!. I have been losing heart on this diet/exercise thing; so I thought maybe something new might help. Has anyone bought it? How do you like it ?

Question for weight room veterans...?
Is there a difference between using the weight machines (like Nautilus, etc) verses using free weights? At my gym, for the most part, I only see fellas over in the free weight area, so I've jokingly dubbed it "the boys side". But seriously, is there more to be gained for me trying some free weights? I do worry a little…

Does my job count as exercise?
I work two jobs in sales where I am in movement quite often. I do get tired and a little sweaty, and my feet hurt when I'm done! :smile: My question is, when I first signed up I registered as a very active person-- so does this mean I shouldn't add my work into my exercise tracker? Or can I still record this as being…

HRM's
I've been seeing a lot of posts from people about these. I've never had one and don't know much about them. They're specific to the individual wearing it? It must track your weight or something to know how many calories I would be burning during a workout, right? Any information or suggestions are appreciated! -L

FITNESS TEST....
Joined a gym again on Wed, haven't been to the gym in umm.....3 years! I'm afraid of what my results are gonna be like for cardio - at least I've been working out a home I guess for the past 2 months, so I'm not a fish right out of water. Wish me luck!:tongue:

Heart Rate Monitor?
I feel silly asking this, but is a HRM what I want to purchase in order to figure how many cals I'm actually burning per workout session??? And if so, how do I calculate them based on the HRM digits? Is there a particular formula? Thanks for any help!

STRENGTH TRAINING?
I am new to this website and was wondering why strength training does not show any calories lost? For example: yesterday I did 80 squats, and 70 bicep curls and when I add that in to my exercise it doesnt take any calories off? Does anyone know why? I know I got to be burning some calories.

A good workout?
What do you consider a good workout? I went to the gym during lunch today and burned 300 calories (says my trusty HRM!) on the elliptical machine. But, I still feel like I didn't do much. I'm not totally satisfied with my workout. :angry:

Anyone doing Curves?
I had a free two week membership to Curves and i went one day.. I was really motivated but once i started the circuit i got really bored.. weird because you have to change so often. And i didnt even break a sweat. I lost my breath maybe twice. It wasnt as hard as I thought. How many calories is it supposed to burn? I just…

adding a meal to food diary
When I went to add a meal to the food diary, I pulled up the ingredient and it will give me the serving, but say I use the whole can, pkg, or container, how can I do that and then break it up into servings? I looked but didn't find this to be an option! Chances are, I'm not going to eat 1/3 c of cheese in a serving that…

Wii
My man and I are thinking about getting a Wii system to get our butts off the couch in the evening (live out in the country, no real place to go walking when it gets dark so soon). Have any of you got the system, do you find it helps motivate you to move? Terryl

Body composition
Okay, so I finally stepped on the scale after 4 months and I had gained almost 15 lbs. since June!!! So first off I'd like to say, don't ignore the scale, even though checking it daily will drive you nuts and dictate whether or not you have a good day, do check it regularly so you don't stay focused on your healthy…
