Stronger, Better, Faster 9-9
Yesterday, I was a bit under the weather. Still did yoga and walking, but skipped weights. I had pain in my stomach and didn't want to do the "abs" section. So, can I make up for it by going twice tomorrow? I was very proud of myself for staying within my calories without the weights class and going down to a pound a week.…

Work out times?
I used to work out in the morning and I would feel energized all day. I started a new position that requires me to commute and I leave much earlier so I have been working out when I get home. I am absolutely wiped out in the evenings and my energy levels are dragging all day long. I can't get the motivation to wake up any…

counting miles
Because of a fitness challenge my school does, I know that I "walk" about 12 miles a day. We measure these in steps and convert to miles. Does anyone know how I can convert this information for the exercise log on this website?

The other 1/4 say its just water weight…

Walking/pushing stroller
I know we have a lot of people on this site who walk and push strollers. The calories burned for just walking would not be the same as walking and pushing a stroller, and we are curious as to how many we really burn. I found this site where they did a study of just that. It doesn't say exactly how much we burn but it is…

Osteoarthritis and Running?
I had a physical today with the DVA and, for the most part, received a clean bill of health. In fact, my blood pressure was back to normal (40 pounds ago I was ALWAYS a little high). Yahoo, good news! However, I have been having chronic knee pain and the doctor says I have osteoarthritis in both knees. He asked me what…

SBF...9/8
Good morning! At least it's starting out that way. I got started early this morning with my push ups. My arms are still shaking! Week 5 of the program...126 push ups from plank! Not consecutive, four breaks in between sets. I woke up with a sore throat. I am hoping it's sinuses or dehydration. Drinking lots and lots of…

Very Variable
Crap. I went backwards from 190 to 180 on my bench press today. I was barely able to get in all my reps at my last benchpress workout and today, I almost didn't finish my first set of six. Not wanting to be pinned without a spotter, I backed of ten. The really bad thing is I have been doing OK at that weight for about a…

my polar counts
my Polar F4 calorie counter counts what exactly? Just the calories I use exercising? What if I wore it and went into a deep sleep for 24 hours? Would the number it comes up with be my BMR? OR if I wore it for a whole day doing my normal activity would that be the calories I've burnt ON TOP of my BMR? I know its a stupid…

30 Day Shred Challenge 9/1--First day!!!
I'll put today's post under the date. Might be a bit "cleaner this way?" Sorry if I'm stepping on toes. A new daily thread is probably the way to go...... Day 4 of L3. Still Evil, but now I can do about 1/2 of "Natalie". The only problem I'm having is with the jump lunges (on circuit 1). I can't keep my balance and my…

Strength Training for Beginners?
I have been on MFP and exercising now regularly for 7 weeks. I am starting to get some definition on my body (that is, you can tell where my actual arm ends and the flap of skin that waves goodbye long after I've stopped waving starts). The exercise DVDs I do incorporate upper body as well as lower, but I would really like…

Mountain biking
1000 calories an hour as a newbie. Most rides are in the 1500 per hour range. Racing and single speed are 2000 calories an hour and up. Mountain biking is not like road riding where primary's are the legs. This is a full body work out. The best part is your having fun

Working out in the heat of summer.
I was curious if I would burn more calories working out different times fo the day, say 2pm vs 7pm. My friend is a trainer who suggested I move my elliptical machine to my Florida room, as it doesnt have AC and I would burn more calories. This sounded silly and he didnt have a logical explanation, so as usual I had to see…

Joint pain/strength training
Anybody know why during my strength class I feel like I get a little pain in my left elbow? I'm wondering if there is something I can do to stop it. I definitely don't want to develop tendonitis or something like that. I've heard people say I have "tennis elbow" , but what's that?

Does anyone use Cathe videos?
I am trying to find a good rotation for the Cathe videos and determine what DVDs to purchase. So far I have her Kickmax which kicks my butt. 3 days of the week I do strength training which is mostly Jari Love for now and I still use Turbo Jam occasionally for cardio and go to the gym 2X a week for a kickboxing class. I…

Ahh, Sunday. Hopefully, my long walk day. Our garage door just busted (it was installed only a month ago), so hopefully they will come by and fix it so we leave the house at the same time. Yesterday I did elliptical and walk/jog. I even had calories left at the end of the day. We went to a greasy spoon for dinner and the…
