Stronger, Better, Faster Fitness Challenge, August 26th
Hi all, Yesterday I had major trauma when I made the mistake of looking at the scale number at the Drs. Against the last time I had weighed, it was up six pounds. I'm just going on the theory that it wasn't accurate, a different scale, I had just eaten lunch was wearing shoes, blah,blahblah. . . and trying not to care. .…

Elliptical Brand Questions?
We are looking into buying a used elliptical but I am unable to find many ratings on the models that are only 1-2 years old. I was wondering if anyone had any input about brands or certain models they have had success with? We are looking at some NordicTrack (CXT 925, CXT 910, CXT 980), Horizon (3.0,4.1E, RE 76, CSE 3.5,…

I need some suggestions.
The month of Ramadan is starting Sept 1. I will be fasting from sun up until sun down every day for a month. There is no way I will be able to workout during my lunch hour like I do now since I won't be able to eat or drink anything at all during the day. I don't want to stop exercising, but I can't go to the gym after…

SBF...August 25
Good morning ladies! I didn't do well at all yesterday, but today is starting a new week...I hope. I have been off wheat the last two days (unless it was hidden in something I ate. I am more picky about keeping my son off any wheat than I am for myself), so at least I have managed that! Today I have a lot on my plate that…

Turbo Kick (aka Turbo Jam)
Hey everyone! It's the start of a new semester for me, and I've joined a class called Turbo Kick. It's like kickboxing set to music with some modern dance moves and other random things thrown in, set with intervals. The 'Turbo' part is apparently the part where you go as fast as you can for 2.5 min, midway through the…

Slow, Fat, Triathelete
I would like to thank the person who had mentioned on one of these boards a few weeks ago that they had read this book. I bought it and had a hard time putting it down. I am actually tossing around in my head the thought of training for a sprint tri. So I need to give credit, because I never would have known that my slow,…

Question: Strength Training for the Legs
So when I was younger my aunt use to sing to me-Brickhouse-because I got booty and legs. While I like my bum, I would like to make my legs smaller. I don't want thin legs, just smaller ones. My whole body has gotten smaller except for my legs. (I have been tracking my measurements) They have gotten more musculer. I tend to…

Dance Dance Revolution
Anyone else do DDR for their exercise? I do the workout mode for about an hour and burn about 400 calories (which is what the tv says) personally, I think it's more. Considering how out of breath I am by the end! It's very addictive. Then I turn my radio on, grab my hand weights and dance and workout my arms for 20 minutes…

Tabata Training and Kettlebells Work!!!
Hi, I'm a competitive swimmer and swim about 6 miles per week. Although I love it, it doesn't help me lose weight. I saw a post on this site about Tabata and that led me to Kettlebells. In 10 minutes I get a great workout and I'm on my way. I got a kettlebell at ****'s sporting for 29.99.…

Polar F6
I just bought a used polar off ebay and I noticed that it is always showing the calories burned...so my question is how do you know what calories you are burning from working out( like cleaning house, your heart doesn't really race but you are working out in a sense) and how many from general activity? I have a certain…

Help for a non-stetchy runner?
I have run all my life. Now I am trying to limber up and have been doing yoga for several years. It has helped some, but my glutes and hams are just relentlessly tight (I think, from the running). Anyone else dealt with this? Any advice?

Yoga for Weight Loss!
I just bought a yoga for weight loss dvd and a new yoga mat. So far, I'm really enjoying it. It has a 25-minute program that's quite stimulating and enjoyable, meant to be done as a start to your day in the morning. I love yoga and I hate that it doesn't burn very many calories, but along comes a weight loss dvd and I'm in…
