Sweating at gym problem
Well, not sure if it's a problem or just my "issue." Anyway---I joined the YMCA yesterday and have worked out there twice so far. I really love it! I feel like I'm getting a great work-out there BUT I'm sweating like you wouldn't believe! I mean BIG TIME--I don't sweat this bad when I'm riding my bike outside! Not sure why…

Try Turbo Jam!
So, I'm pretty tough on work out dvds as I'm a trainer and can't help but pick them apart. Although there are some parts in the warm up I'm not too sure about, over all this is SUCH a great work out! I really sweat! I find it hard to actually get a work out from dvds so I'm pleased with this one. Definitely worth a try for…

trying to work out abs
I have tried so many different types of exercises to tone my abs, so far the only thing that actually made me sore was simply lifting my legs off of the floor together and then lowering then but not letting them touch the floor. It works!!

July 1 MFP Runner's Club
Good morning! So today I ran 44 minutes at a very slow pace as per my training schedule. I tried to keep my heart rate between 130-135 on flat surfaces. I have to say that I feel really good, my legs don't feel tired at all. I felt like I could have ran forever! Because I'm still trying to lose weight, I jumped on the…

ideal weight
I read this great article about your ideal weight. Here is what the expert said: "I'd like to banish the whole idea of ideal weight," he says. "We simply don't have enough data to say what's right for any individual or group. We should focus more on telling people they can get healthier by becoming more active, no matter…

Hazard of jogging. What to do when
Well I am always prepared with water, blistex and pepper spray when I go for a jog. But when a puppy follows you home what can you do. I tried not to pay any attention to it, but I think it knew I was a dog person and followed me and my daughter the last half of our jog home. It was so cute, jogged like a pro! Of course we…

for beginners
what is the best video idea for someone who is not so in shape (obviously) and needs to get working out? i used to belong to the gym, but it's just too expensive and the two that were actually affordable around here went out of business. i just want to have a dvd i can pop in and work out with, but actually be able to do!!…

S.B.F. Challenge. . .June 30th
It's the start of a new week, and it's an intense exercise week for me. Today is walking, yoga, and weights. I wish weights class wasn't so late (7:30) because I need to eat before I go and I would rather have yoga after weights than before. Ah well. Can't change the world to fit my schedule. Wednesday's class is before…

Happy Canada Day! Today is Bikram, a walk, water, vits and a treat. (If it's Tuesday. . .it must be time for dessert!)

I'm not sore…

Jogging Boredom
I've never been a runner, i.e. once around the block and I either get winded or just plain bored! At the gym, I can do the elliptical for a few miles, but same problem - even with music or some other distraction, I just get bored. People talk about the high they get from running - but how do I make it to that point without…

I don't want to spend more than $100 on…

Its only a 20 minute workout, but from what I understand it really kicks your butt. I don't have a HRM, so I'm going to be clueless how many calories I'm…
