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

I got the perfect gift....
My DH went shopping for my birthday and he bought me a video (30 day shred), a nice adjustable step with video, 2, 3, and 4 lb weights, and a nice windpant suit! I love him so much:heart: He told me he was happy with my weight, but he wanted to buy that because he knew that would make me happy and he knows I'm working…

Hopped on the rowing machine and did another 15 minutes, then another 4 weight machines. All fine still... Did a final 15 minutes on the elliptical, went to do the…

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…

My new Polar - holy cow!
Ok so I just got my new polar heart rate monitor yesterday, and I was all excited to wear it to my Turbo Kick class tonight. I wanted to see all the stats (I'm a nerd for numbers some days) and I found that my heart rate tended to run a little high during the more active first half hour (every time I glanced down it was…

3 days in a row!
My goal right now is to stick to exercising! It's been 3 days in a row. I know results arent going to happen overnight, which is why I always start and then quit after a few weeks. I so had to force myself yesterday, but I felt so good afterwards. I really love to run and have put a motivation picture of myself (when I was…

Does anyone have any good solutions for shin splints?
I get shin splints every time I walk/run on a flat surface, such as a treadmill or outside. I don't mean normal walking, I mean exercise obviously. I can't walk on a treadmill for more than 5 minutes without severe pain in my leg. I've heard shin splints can't be healed but does anyone know of any way that I can lessen the…

Completely Sidelined
Just got back from the othopedic surgeon's office. I have the beginnings of stress fractures on both femoral necks - just below the ball part of the femur that fits into the hip socket. (only the beginnings. If they actually break you have to have surgery and pins or something.) That man even gave me crutches to use while…

I want to get rid of my Baby Belly
K so I had my son 18 months ago and I still got this flabby old belly. What are the best belly exercises. Now let me just say, its really really hard for me to do crunches cause back in 2004 I got hit by a drunk driver and I have 3 buldging discs in my back and 1 herniated disc. So crunches are really painful.

Missed the gym ??
I've been going to the gym religiously for 8 days, then yesterday I had such a busy day that I genuinely had not time to go. The whole day I felt like a cough potato - despite working a 9 hour shift! I ached all over, and had no energy, Today, despite feeling exhausted, I dragged my butt to the gym - and after a while it…

Zumba dance....
Has anyone tried a zumba class at their gyms? I think I might go tomorrow at 10 am, but it would be nice to have some knowledge going in!!! I'm just sick and tired of the same old routines, I think thats why I have problems sticking with exercising. I love to do it, but I get bored VERY easily. If you have any info, feel…

Do you ever get days when you have no energy??
I got up this morning, looking forward to the gym, went to work for a couple of hours first - yawning my head off within the first hour! Got to the gym - which was quite busy today, and just felt like I'd been hit by a bus. I could only manage half the workout I usually do, and had a struggle to walk up the hill to come…

Red face from jogging
Okay, just in case I haven't clearly explained how self conscious I am..... here's one more thing I tend to worry about. My face gets SO RED after any intense exercise - as in - people around me feel the need to comment, "wow, you're burning up!" and when I got home from a walk/jog this morning, I was a little spooked by…

I hate ab workouts!!!
I don't know if it's just me, but everytime I do an ab workout I feel like I'm gonna hurl - especially when doing the ISO bike move fast for 30 sec straight! Maybe it's just cause I've had 2 kids and my abs are extremley weak - but my abdomins feel like they are being ripped apart!!
