Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .June 2nd
That's all for the welcome home, makes me feel warm and fuzzy. AD - you make me blush. Both of the yoga pics have reasons behind them. The backbend picture was inspired by my teacher's picture. She's doing the same pose near a lake, so I did it near the ocean. The handstand picture is something my little sister and I do on…

Anyway, this mornign I got up put on gym clothes, but ended up talking to my sister for a until almost 10, so we missed that class. Now it's 1:00 here. I'm in my gym clothes (still),…

Slow walking burns more calories. (Horray for the rest of us
And yeah it's okay for us who weigh less, too. For instance, if I (who weighs 112) walked for 15 minutes after lunch and scaled a mile, I'd burn roughly 64 calories. Nice. (Note: weight more, burn more.) http://walking.about.com/od/weightloss/a/slowwalk0605.htm

Exercise your way across America!
Yesterday afternoon, I discovered that my gym started a new program. From now until the end of August, you earn "miles" for taking a class, cardio, strength training, etc. The trail is from Boston to LA--about 3200 miles. I have to say, this totally brought out my (horrible! :blushing: ) competetive streak. I MUST WIN. I…

calories burned
Hey guys...I'm a little concerned that I'm not actually eating the right amount of exercise calories. When I walk on my treadmill at 4 mph for 30 minutes it says I burn anywhere from 350 to 375. When I enter it here is says I only burned 204. Which should I go by?

Conundrum--how hard to push exercise & HR
Ok, here's my current scenerio: The first 7 weeks here I lost 26 pounds--about 3 1/2 pounds a week-- I was exercising about every other day and using MFP to calculate my calories burned through exercise. I didn't have a HRM, so I just pushed myself until I felt like my heart was racing and tried to maintain that pace until…

May 30th MFP runner's Club
Morning, I'm a little annoyed this morning. I was heading out the door for my run at 6:30am this morning and my DH stops me and says he has a 7am appointment at the gym. Can we say sabotage!!! Why couldn't he tell me this last night? So now I'm debating on getting on the elliptical or going running with my little girl when…

Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .May 31
Morning! (or afternoon!, I guess) So, get this, my Dr. is concerned about my pain levels, and wants to re-evaluate weight training for me. I'm seriously considering switching to pilates and yoga, and leaving the dumbells on the floor. It's sort of scary, but I was seeing more upper body-definition (and "leaner" lines) when…

Weight and age?
I've seen tables that show a healthy weight range that increases with age. But, I've also read that (on average) as we age we lose muscle mass. These two concepts seem to contradict each other.

Aqua aerobics
I did a class today and it was great! It was a mixture of cardio and strength training, since you have to move against the water. I really worked my arms and thought it was much better than conventional aerobics because it's gentler on your joints and you use more muscles. It didn't burn loads of calories (218 per hour)…

House work as exercise
Mopping the floor or pushing your vacuum cleaner burns calories. List them on your exercise list. I found that a 140 lb person burns 223 calories each hour mopping floors or vacuuming. There are many web sites to give this info for any activity.
