Burned 1687 Calories
I went snow shoeing today for 3+ hours, we only took one 5 minute break, otherwise we just kept going. The loop was only about 8 miles, but it was tough...the snow was wet and heavy due to being late in the season, and the hills were tough. There were many soft spots where the snow was so soft that I sunk in about a foot…

I have been in training for a sprint triathalon for a couple months now, and I did my first brick today. Its when you do two back to back exercises.

Dancing the night away
Hello to all, I just found out that my weight is affecting my dancing lesson. I am learning how to step which is simalar to ballroom dancing. I am doing this 4 days a week , 2 hours a day. This dancing thing really tells you how fit you are. I can barely dance 30 minutes without needing my astma pump. Thats the downside of…

Running - the mind blocks
ARGH!!! :explode: I KNOW I can make it up this one stupid hill, but my brain stops me every dern time!!! It's not the longest, it's not the steepest...but I always walk the last 20 yards regardless!!! :explode: I want to do a 1/2 marathon in August, but my brain tells me a 10k that that's all I can do. :explode: I need to…

Biking???
Does anyone here do leisurely biking as their exercise. I was wondering how people like it and if it is an enjoyable way to exercise. I rode a bike all the time when I was a kid, but in the past 15 or so years I have only done it once and I must say I was quite wobbly. But we have a nice park behind our apartment, its is…

NUTRITION ADVICE FOR A SWIMTEAM SWIMMER
This is such an awesome community, and so full of "fitness gurus", of which I am definitely NOT, I would like to ask your nutrition advice for my son. Actually I have two swimteamers, but my 13-year old son is a very motivated, going for the gold, swimmer. He has not totally gone through puberty yet, I suspect because of…

I LOVE MY HRM!
Been using my HRM for 4 days now and I love it!!!!!! It has been so enlightening to see what I'm really burning in calories. Interestingly--MFP estimates low for my stationary bike but high when I enter in for riding my bike outside. And, I found out that I've been pushing myself too hard when riding and probably going WAY…

Exercise videos - Your fave
Which ones work? Which ones don't?? I just got the "Biggest Loser - Cardio Max" and tried it out a couple nights ago. Was thinking afterwards, that wasn't so bad, but the next morning felt like someone went over me with a tire iron. :laugh: It was good though. Have a old Jane Fonda step aerobics tape which is good, and I'm…

Nike + iPod
My husband got me a Nike + iPod for Mother's Day (so much better than jewelry) and I used it for the first time this morning. It was awesome! It tracks calories burned, time and distance and I set a goal to burn 800 calories. So it told me on every 100 calories and then every 20 when I was on my last 100. It's so…

Victorious Victoria Day Challenge - May 10
Happy Weekend! Yesterday I did the Bob's BL low & high and did some walking for 530 calories. Today I'm up way to early to go to strength class. Every once and a while I experiment with the "get it over with" mentality. I got Yoga Burn in the mail yesterday so I might do that too. I did something stupid yesterday - I was…

Here's what I'm trying to figure out...
...you all must be so sick of my HRM questions but here goes. How long should one remain "in the zone," i.e. is it better to STAY in the zone throughout the cardio workout, or is it better to DIP consistently and heroically in and out of the zone during the workout? Let's say it's a 60 minute workout. I set my HRM to 75 or…
