Stronger Better Faster, Oct 24
Hope everyone has some fun weekend plans coming up! We're going to North Dallas (hi, MM) for a family visit - then I come back Sunday night to turn around to go to Fort Worth for a visit to my sister on Monday. Yesterday, I did the elliptical and walk/jog at the gym. Good news - my favorite teacher has a spin class again -…

My six pack training routine.
This is not for beginners! This hurts, its hard, you might puke... :happy: But listen to me! This freakin rocks your abs. Ladies, we've got that area between the hips bones called the transverse that is destroyed in pregnancy and weight gain. It's the area most would call the "Flat Tire", those love handles seem impossible…

I'm excited!
Baby steps, I know, but I just ordered the PolarF6 HRM!! I've been reading reviews from where I ordered it about the transmitter, but it comes with one and i guess I'll just use that one until the battery dies and then buy the fabric transmitter (the more comfy one) ! I'm hoping this will give me a more accurate number on…

Stretching
I exercise daily, but can someone explain to me why I feel the urge to stretch all the time? Especially my upper body. Every morning I use my elliptical machine (it doesn't have the moving handle bars) I just hold on to the sensor bar like I'm suppose to and work the lower body. And then I exercise by videos or walking or…

MFP Cycling Gang 10/21/08
Another week and it's gotten chilly here! Well, not quite that cold but it hit 36 degrees last night and it was 42 when I started on my ride this morning!!! BRRRRRRRRRR!! Anyway, I didn't get to ride all weekend because the weather just stunk--wind, rain, cold, YUCK! I was bound and determined to get out today regardless,…

running in the cold
I've been off the wagon for a while, way too busy with work lately. Over the summer, I got into running and have been missing it. I want to get back now that I've got work almost under control, but I've never been able to run in the cold. Any tips?

joined the gym!
:wink: Alright. I did it! I broke down and joined the gym today! I have a gym at my apartment but it is little and by the time I get off work and drive my hour drive home I am too tired. So I joined a gym by work and now will go straight there, and miss the rush hour traffic! Bonus- I have 2 friends to work out with there!…

For you ladies with long hair...
How do you keep it out of your way when working out? I usually just put it in a pony tail, but depending on what shirt I'm wearing, sometimes it really annoys me when it touches my back. I've also tried buns but that doesn't work well with high impact, it seems to just work it's way out or annoy me with bouncing. My hair…

Before or After?
Ok so should you eat before or after a work out? and What should you eat?

Stronger Better Faster, Oct 23
Happy cold front folks. I think it hit everyone. Well, maybe not BFB, don't know where she's been lately. Yesterday I made it to weights, though I was feeling lazy before I left. It's turned into a 50 minute class rather than an hour class. I guess people were complaining that the hour classes ran into each other - so my…

Female HEAVY LIFTERS unite!!!!
I just wanted to start a thread for those of us who are into lifting weights... and not just any weight, but heavy weights! Now you don't have to be someone who does it 24/7, but at least once or twice a week... because it's also good to do light lifting w/many reps for endurance as well :-) I want to start a thread where…

Workout Videos Anyone?
Hey everybody...I hope you all are having a pleasent day and feeling fantastic. I was wondering if anyone knows of good workout videos?? Not like Tae-Bo or any I would have to jump around though because I live upstairs and have very thin floors! More like the kind you use balls or small weights with. Or even a stepper…

Tummy Crunches
Does anyone know how many calories are burnt with this exercise? I got hold of one of those crunch bar thingys, and would love to add it to my daily log :bigsmile:

Heart Rate Monitor/Calories burned???
I went out and bought a heart rate monitor (since these seem to be important:noway: ) It is a wrist worn version that reads your S-Pulse (measures electical signals on your skin like an EKG machine or electrocardiogram). OK so just sitting here my heart rate is 55, how does a person figure out calories burned from…

Tony Horton's "10 Minute Trainer"
OK I just saw a commercial for this and it really looks like it "could work" but... does it? Has anyone out there tried this DVD set? What were your results? I can't afford to pay $80.00 for something that is just not worth it. PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINION!! I haven't been a part of MFP for long but I greatly value the…

Can you really lose weight with videos?
I'll be having a baby in February and will have 2 kids under 2. I don't imagine I'll have time to go to the gym and I don't have a machine. Can I really lose weight using workout videos? I do have weights so I will definitely be doing those but what about cardio? Does anyone have any good weight loss videos they would…

Scales that weigh 400 lbs and under? (I dont know where to p
Most scales I have found weight 300 and under, well. I need one that weights ATLEAST up to 400. But, I have no idea where to find one! I do not know where to post this question, I hope it's okay in this area. Thanks for any advice!:smile:

Fitness Videos
Can anybody recommend a good fitness video for a beginner? :smile: I've never been much on videos, because I get bored, but since I've started a new job, I think my exercise time would be best used in the mornin' before work with an exercise video. I was actually looking at Shred with Jillian Michael's earlier . . . is it…

Getting back into the swing of things.
It's been almost a month since I've worked out. How do you get back into working out again? I don't go to a gym, I normally walk or do Billy Blanks Tae Bo Ultimate Boot Camp. What do you do to get motivated! I need some help! Thanks, B :smile:

Tummy just won't go away!
I have lost about 8lbs since I started here, but I am 223 now so I imagine it doesn't show as much as I would like! I had two minor break downs with clothing this weekend. From what I can tell, my waist hasn't lost even a 1/4 of an inch yet. I can fit into my "skinny jeans", but they push my tummy up and I look terrible in…

Women and Weights
Hey all, I had a question about doing strength training. I am doing weights 4x a week on all the different muscle groups (not all on the same day obviously). I just want a toning effect of the weights - not the bulking up of body builders - so I do a lot of reps with lighter weights. Is this the right path? I am terrified…

Stronger Better Faster, Oct 22
Howdy all! All the wet nasty weather up there is bringing our first crisp night here. This week will be our first hit of the 40s (no rain though :grumble: ). Can't decide if I'll try biking tomorrow as the winds will be fairly strong and it will be chilly for a Texan. Yesterday I did 90 minutes on the bike and a 30 minute…

Back fat...excercise?
