July 17 MFP Runner's club
Good morning! I'm so excited! I actually went out in the rain to run. This is my very first time and it was fabulous! I've run in the rain before only because it started to rain part way through. This morning, I looked out the window and it wasn't raining but very cloudy. The moment I stepped onto my porch, it started to…

Rest days
I have a hard time mentally giving up exercise for a rest day......I KNOW I should. But my thoughts are....I know there are going to be scheduling issues that won't allow me to exercise so I feel like I should exercise when I can. Do y'all have regularly scheduled day off from exercise? How often? Thanks!

I can't work-out in the morning (I already get up at 5am to get to work on time) so I've been exercising after I get home in the afternoon. Should I eat dinner before or after doing my workout?

Easy way to pass time!! And a Question!!
I found it so easy to pass time on my stationary bike by turning on my favorite electro-rock radio station and then use my handle bars as my bongo drums! haha When I did this my heart rate went up. When I stopped playing the "drums" my HR went back down a bit. And then once again when I played the "drums" on my handle…

going to the zoo..
my husband and i took our girls to the zoo yesterday.. and i was amazed! besides having a FABULOUS time, i burned 620 calories doing it! pushing a stroller for 3 1/2 hours has it's benefits. although i found it hard to make up those calories with food.. i think i still had about 200 calories left when i went to bed. :yawn:

Running in Water
As I have mentioned before, I do most of my workouts in the pool. I run in the water for about 30 mins a day. I run 2 laps and then I break the current with 2 laps and so on. I think that it must burn more calories than land running because you have water resistance against you. Does anyone know how to log that into my…

Stronger, Better, Faster Fitness Challenge, July 16
So, msnbc has an article entitled "Feeling hungry can make you happy" - Sometimes I feel like I'm the happiest person alive :wink: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25680029/ It is something we should remember though. Or at least I should. There's nothing wrong with being hungry. The point I need to remember is not to get too…

Im comfortable there... I'm not panting there but I am…

Good morning runners! Today was my sprint workout. We ran a mile warm-up, did 30 minutes of sprinting drills, then finished with a half-mile cool down. It kicked my butt and felt great (afterwards)!

Bios heart rate monitor?
Ok, so I know I need an HRM, but I found a reasonably priced one and need an opinion. Does anyone know about the Bios heart rate monitor? It's out of Canada, but is relatively cheaper than polar but boasts the same features. Help!!!! :heart: Christina

Denise Austin - rant
warning: highly opinionated paragraph to follow. So, some of you may recall I ordered a few dvds 10 days ago or so. I guess I don't *totally* regret the Denise Austin ones but I don't know if I'm going to be able to bring myself to use them too often. When you guys said her voice was annoying I thought, 'okay I can handle…

Urban Poling
Hi Everyone, I went to a demo a month ago about nordic walking/ Urban Poling and fell in love with it. I have already noticed a difference in my waist as you really swing your arms and plant the poles down. I find it very rhthmic and have found that I have added a lot of speed into my walk, which helps shed the calories.…

Yes, Another HRM question...
I am preparing to get a HRM. One site I was reading about the Polar F6 said something about a strap that you put on. Do you always have to wear a strap around your chest or is it just the monitor that looks like a watch? Thanks for your help everyone!!!
