SBF...October 4
Good morning! How are you all? I'm chipper this morning surprisingly! I guess because it's the weekend. We're going to do a brake job on our pastor's jeep this morning (maybe that's why I am chipper). Could take several hours. I am not sure if I will do Shred today. Depends on the brake job. Wish I knew how many calories I…

5k

I ended up cutting off about a half mile just because I reached the point that I couldn't go any farther uphill. So...while that was…

Map My Walk
Has anyone used www.mapmywalk.com? I used it today. Walked 4 miles in 65 minutes. It said i burned 258 calories walking 3.9 miles an hour. Well in MFP it says 4.0 very brisk pace is around 400 calories. Big difference. When I walk ...I run, jog, move my arms, dance. It is not just walking. sometimes I even go slow. I have…

S.B.F. Challenge. . .October 3rd
Hi ladies! Today I'm taking an easy day (for me, anyway). I'm missing my scheduled bikram this afternoon in an attempt to get out of the house for a social event. . . So, I dug out a Yoga Booty Ballet cardio DVD and Rodney Yee's Yoga for flexibility. I'm also planning to do the push-ups I couldn't do yesterday. (I don't…

Does anyone workout 2 times a day? I have been doing about an hour of exercise (cardio or lifting) in the morning and then doing 30-60 minutes more in the evening.

Heart rate monitoring immediately after exercise
I wear a Polar HRM. I have noticed that for about ten minutes after I do cardio exercise, my pulse is still high. So do I stop counting the calories burned as soon as my feet slow down, or is it when my heart rate slows down. Aren't I burning calories intensely still while my heart rate is up? Any ideas?

Body Pump
Has anyone ever done a Body Pump class at their gym? Basically it's an hour of total body weights done to fast pace music. I just got back from a class, and I had fun, and I will probably be sore tomorrow, but I don't think I got such a great workout. I love to come home from a workout dripping sweat, and I barely broke…
