Running shoes question
Hi! I need to buy new running shoes. I used to have Nike and Reebok but I think they are not the best or the cheapest or the most beautiful so why not change for something new :smile: I have a question for all runners - what do you think about New Balance and Asics brands? They are not so popular in Poland so nobody can…

S.B.F. Challenge. . .June 25
Hello. . . . .exercisers! Today is spin class for 45 minutes, and walking there and back if it's not storming again.

weights
I have been using the same 5 pound dumbells for a few years now, but my arms do not really have the muscle tone that I want. My arms just kinda seem straight and covered with skin and a little bit of fat. I was thinking of buying 8 pound dumbells, but I know that if you get a bigger weight and do less reps you gain muscle,…

A Step in the Right Direction, at least
Well, I'm stuck at just 6 lbs. However, I just went for a stress test (orders from the family doc due to a low heart rate), and it turned out just fine. The doctor and nurses kept saying how well I did over and over again. It took 11 minutes to get my :heart: up to 160 (I honestly don't know what that means though). That…

Running
I try to run for 30 minutes or more 5 times a week and do some weight workouts but I have a question. When I run after I'm done (run on the elliptical) I'm not exhausted but I sweat a lot. Should it be important that I be exhausted? Do I need to find something that makes me really tired?

Pedal Toe Cages advice needed
My pedals with toe cages came today!! It was so funny! My hubby was taking the old pedals off. He got one off but was in the garage complaining he couldn't get the other pedal off.

So, I have been going to the gym for 2 months now and work out at least 5 days a week.
