Logging Steps...
I am using a pedometer, it is not one that tracks calories, just steps. Is there anywhere in our excerise log where we can add how many steps we take to figure out how many calories are burned? I know there are "walking" options, but I am not sure how to go about this.... THANKS!:smile:

More than one person using a HRM?
Can more than one person use one HRM? I know that you set your weight, height, etc, but can you set the weight, height for more than one person? If you can't, would it be difficult to change these settings often? The reason I am asking is that I just bought a HRM and was wondering if my husband could use it too. Thanks.…

I reset my minimum calories to 1300 - from 1200 - I know I'm little, er, short but 1200 cals a day is not enough!:smile: on the days I don't work out. I am just going to focus on getting an hour or more of cardio in at least 5 days a week and weight train 2 - 3 days a week....pretty much what I used to do. I plan to ignore…

S.B.F. Challenge Aug 10th
I know how you feel MM, the pounds don't leave me easily either. Maybe it's the heat? :laugh: Really, for those that don't live here, it's pretty bad this year. 50 days over 100 degrees, or something like that and the number of days in the 103-106 range is crazy. As much of a pinko environmentalist as I am, I really love…

Turbo Jam
Hi Everyone! I'm new here but I just wanted to let everyone know about Turbo Jam. Last year (Feb 2, 2007) I started doing Turbo Jam. I'm a cold turkey kind of person so I automatically stopped eating ANY junk food and just ate really healthy and started doing Turbo Jam for an hour a day. By March 5th, I had lost 30 pounds!…

I don't know how I'll cope without posting over the weekend.:wink: Yesterday I taught…

Making exercise fun!
Have you ridden the Exercise Vortex? It’s the most popular fitness roller coaster of all time. You go up, you go down. Fast fitness climbs are interrupted by burnout and steep drops in activity – until you bottom out and start another cycle. And in the end, you’re right back where you started. Half the time, it just leaves…

Full body training - looking for others
So, here's the deal, I come from a football/rugby background. So I am used to varying my routines daily. I'm tired of running every day, but being a team sport kind of guy, I'm looking for others to share my workouts with.

Burning 3500 calories in two 1/2 days???
I know 3500 calories is a pound. So if my BMR is 1081 and I eat 1000 calories a day and burn 1400 calories a day (I do the automatic stair-stepper for one hour every day), then can I lose 4lbs or more in the next 2 1//2 weeks? :noway: AHHH this is hard to understand. Okay so that would mean I lose 1lb in 2 1/2 days?

Heartrate monitor - GREAT DEAL!
Okay, I know this isn't going to be nearly as great of a product as the Polar HRM's, but I just got a Reebok HRM for $25 - this includes shipping! It's a one day thing, only. The more expensive HRM's are not currently in my budget but I really wanted to be able to monitor my calories burned more closely so I thought I'd…
