wanna lose, but gain muscle..
thats why i kinda find it hard to see me reach my goal of getting to 180 in the next yr or so.. i lift and do a mile, weather i run or walk it, but muscle weighs more than fat, so if i keep gaining muscle and losing fat, i wont know unless i do the body fat measurements.... is that what i should be doing?

The concept is tested, proven and used by most trainers in allmost all disciplines today. Rather than trying to explain it in my own words…

Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .June 14
Mornin' y'all. On my way home from dinner last night, I found myself dreaming about going home and eating some crackers while reading the paper! I didn't know I had it this badly that I would day dream about eating and reading. I've been good this week even though I miss it. I had the crackers anyway (my dessert). When I…

HRM Wearer warning--update weight!
I know alot of us are wearing our HRM's now when exercising, so just thought I'd throw this out there--don't forget to update your weight as you're losing! I hadn't changed mine since I got it a month ago and have lost 15 pounds since then! It finally dawned on me yesterday to update my weight on the dang thing, so I…

any other golfers out there?
Can I really believe that I am burning almost 1000 calories when I pull my clubs and play 18 holes (240 minutes)? If so, it's too good to be true - doing something I love and burning that many calories...awesome. I play at least 3 days per week so that means that I can eat a ton those days. Speaking of which - I normally…

Exercise and Calorie Intake Question
When you are eating your daily calories, do you also eat the extra calories you get from working out? So if I spin for 30 minutes and burn 350 calories, the daily calorie intake for the day adds on 350 more calories to my food/ calories category, should i eat those too?

Crap... I can't believe this.
I just bought a new bike and since my lazy *kitten* hasn't really got off the couch in the last two years of my life due to college and pregnancy... I just recently learned that my cardio endurance sucks and it never used to be like this. I'm going to keep going out and try to build it up again... but it sure is…

Heel Pain????
So a couple months ago my heel started bothering me. I had been running a good bit and had worked up to three miles without having to be wheeled out of the gym on a stretcher and then my heel started hurting. So I stopped running. Pain went away, mostly. So I ran today and my heel hurts. I guess I need to see someone about…

I downloaded and tried a belly daning video, it was agood workout, but I think it was a little advanced for someone who had never done it, they didnt explain any of the terminology or give an overview, they just jumped right in. It seems like somehting that would be fun to take an actual class with an instructor. If anyone…

Happy Friday the 13th! I'm up early to make sure I get to bed early, for tomorrow's 3 hour yoga stint, I'm not a zombie.

Couch to 10K in 10 Weeks
I have 10 weeks to train to run a 10K. ( the Nike+ Human Race) I have never run before, but my boss wants me on her "beginners" team - Any advise? I am anxoius to do this because I have not been able to motivate myself to do much exercising and I think this might just do the trick to get me going.

Volleyball?
Okay, I play on a league and tonight we only had 4 people on our team. I worked my butt off for almost two straight hours (and it was an ABSOLUTE blast). But when I enter it in the exercise log, it is trying to tell me that I burned over 1200 calories! I only put down 90 minutes, cause there was a bit of shuffling teams…

But now I'm gonna crash! I felt great 50 minutes into it...but now I'm pooped. But I just need to remember the euphoric feeling I…

I AM SOOOOOO SORE!
I got the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD yesterday and it completely kicked my butt! I was fine during and after the workout, but this morning I could not move. It literally worked EVERY muscle in my body. I did it again today, even though I can barely walk, but I'm gonna do it dang it!:wink: I would definitely…

Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .June 12
A week and a half to go! Went to weights class yesterday and did everything but dead lifts. I know these are supposed to work your hamstrings, but I feel they do go into the back a little, especially if you do them wrongly. Had a good time. It was a packed class! I'll start going twice a week again starting next week.…

Jillian Shred 2 -- anyone else partaking in the pain??
So I've been doing Jillian's Shred 2 workout -- the 20 minute one. I'm doing it off of my FitTV and am wondering if it is the same as the DVD? And what does everyone else think of it? Also, what move kicks your butt?? Mine is the low squat where she raises the weights in front. Ouch! I still can't do it for the whole time.…

I grew up with a father that flew helicopter for a logging outfit, so growing up the woods were pretty much my playground. Anyways last year I finally got my husband off the bike and into some…
