Polar FS3 help
Hello all! My client just bought a polar fs3 heart rate monitor and gave it to me to program for her. I put all her stats in and tested the resting heart rate and just wanted to make sure I did it right. Do you have to stay in exercise mode to be able to get a touch sense reading...I had it on and just just pressed it to…

My kids!!
:) I was in the middle of a nice workout downstairs... Boys (sons ages 4 and 2) were napping. I'd done my cardio (rowing machine - love it!)... And decided to shoot for some weights... and my 2-year-old wakes screaming!! So much for a 'good end' with a stretch to my workout... oh well, gotta love 'em... and I'm blessed for…

Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .May 24
Morning, all! I couldn't get a spin bike this am (even though I got through at 5 minutes after the time to call) I am pissed, as there are only two more of this class before summer, but I'm going to turn my lemons into lemonade! In order to make up for the 800 calories: I'm going on a hike that I've been wanting to do for…

My started acting up at yesterdays run but it's better now that I ran again. It always feels better once I've run again. It's weird.…

So disappointed ...
I took a cab to the race I was signed up for this morning. The race I have been diligently training for since March. The entrances to the site were so backed up it was impossible for the driver to drop me off near the race start area. He had the nerve to offer to drop me right on the highway, but it seemed too dangerous to…

Good morning, Sun is shinning this morning! Yeah!! I got out and ran my 7k this morning. I saw a scary looking fox, he looked very mange. I struggle a little in the beginning but was okay afterwards. My sciatic nerve did not bother me so I'm hoping it's gone for a little while. How is everyone else doing? Mireille

Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .May 23
Today is weights. Here's my confession. . .I hate weights. Hate them. First off, I feel like I'm a "bulker". . .I still have just enough fat luxuriating around on my arms and legs to cover my definition, so I look bigger, but not more defined (unless I strike a bodybuilder pose) So. . .it's hard to see my results. Also. .…

Victorious Fitness Challenge -- May 22
Good Morning! Well this idea of "exercise cycling" has been tough for me, because I still want to eat the same amount of calories on the light days. Was way over my calories yesterday and I didn't work out at all. Today: ~ Power sculpt class at the gym with the crazy dude who has his own FitTV show. I'm wearing my HRM and…

Great workout today!
I had a great workout today! Despite the fact that it's "that time of the month", my heart rate was so low on the elliptical I hardly felt like I was working until the end. I actually felt like I was "in shape"! How awesome was that! I went for 50 minutes/600 calories. Did anyone else have a good work out today?

not made to run
Sadly, I really don't think my body is supposed to be used for running. From the first moment my feet hit the ground my knees and ankles start to ache. I never get to see how far I can actually go because my bones ache. By the time I've had as much as I can take (usually 3-4 miles on a regular day) I have to take medicine…

Planks
I did planks at the gym today - my trainer showed me, I was like "oh those look easy"...NOT. I even broke out in a sweat!!! I guess they are really good core exercises, phew hard though!:grumble:

Stability Ball
I have a question on how to log stability exercises. Do you burn any calories doing these sit ups, weights etc. Feels like it anyways. I notice there isn't anything when I type in stability ball. Any help would be appreciated.:happy:

Wii Fit
OMG!!!!!!! This thing is SOOOOOOOOOOO awesome!!! You have to get one! I have been on it for about 35 minutes now and have tried a bunch of different exercises. It is cool because it makes you master certain skills before unlocking a harder workout. For example, a run - it makes you go for only 3 minutes at a time until you…

No more tennis
I am so upset, I have been playing tennis for the last 15 years or so, but the last 6 summers I have taken lessons. I loved the coach, he taught me so much more than what I had learned in high school, and I got to be really good friends with some of the people. I was all excited about it again this summer and went to sign…

I don't know what got into me..
I ran for 50 min. straight today on the treadmill @ the gym at 5.5 mph. I know this isn't that big of a deal to some of you avid marathon runners out there, but I haven't been able to do this since my cheerleading days way back when haha. I was excited about it so I thought I would share! Who knows if this keeps up, I…

Are there any exercises I can do in the office while on break with this piece of equipment? Im already doing a pretty serious work out with bar bells and weights from 15-35 lbs and doing Butterflys, Curls and Push Ups. I was wondering if this piece of gear could open up a few more oppertunities for me and perhaps target…

My dog is the worst exercise partner
Today is beautiful!! I woke up early due to the fact that I needed to get my 130 pound great dane/bull mastiff out of the house so the maid could clean. Normally, I shut her in the computer room, but today I decided to take her for a walk. (The computer room really needed a good cleaning.) We walked a 3 mile track at a…

Fitness-Grand Canyon Style
We just got back from the Grand Canyon last night -- we camped by plane :tongue: What an awesome trip. Breathtakingly beautiful! The hikes were strenuous -- but I really felt like I accomplished something when we got back to the top. I only lost a pound last week -- but I didn't have access to track on MFP -- so I think…

I am such a loser lol
So, I was being a little cocky with myself. I decided to go for a bike ride today.The last time I rode a bike was years ago, when I was at a very inactive stage of my life, and it did not work out well. So now I work out everyday for a half hour to an hour, I thought I would be able to kick butt on the bike. I told my…
