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…

definity work out bar?
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…

Exercise Schedule
My workouts are getting pretty tedious (ie: not much variety). I'm switching up cardio with strength training, but I find myself doing the same routine weekly. My options are a little limited (my lower back doesn't cooperate with some exercises). What is everybody doing for their workouts? Or does anybody know a good…

Gym Scales
:tongue: I try not to get on the scale very much. However I weigh in at the gym once in awhile. I lost six pound in three weeks(mainly because I was sick for one of those weeks). I weighed 140 after loosing those 6 pounds. I got this from my scale at home. So I weighed myself on the gym scale four days later and it said…

Question for the male weight lifters
Shooting this ? for the guys, lost about 40 pounds, down from 207 to 167. Noticed in the last three weeks I have gained 4 pounds back. I know certain things like water and muscle can increase your weight. I've greatly changed my workout routine from 600 cardio calories to 200, and 50 minutes of weights 5 times a week.…

45 to 200 BPM?
I've been keeping track of my heart rate and calorie expenditure with my Polar F6 for several weeks now. My resting rate was around 58-73 BPM and moderate exercise put me at about 125-140, and with higher intensity intervals a 3 minute sprint got my heart rate up to 184 at the highest. Now suddenly, starting this week my…

Any swimmers out there
I started swimming again this week. It's the first time in over four years that I've gotten into the pool. Wow! I had forgotten what a great workout it is. I've been doing strength training, walking, the elliptical and yoga and thought I was in great shape but my first 1/2 mile kicked my butt! It really is a full body…

Victorious Fitness Challenge. . .May 21
Morning all! Yesterday I completed my Biggest Loser Cardio DVD (435 calories! in 45 minutes!) and a 60 minute walk. That Biggest Loser DVD continues to blow my mind due to its intensity. I love having it for when I can't get to a class at the gym. Today is my scheduled day off, but I'll probably get a walk in later w/ the…

Eating before or after working out...
So I usually have a snack at work about 4 pm, and am home by 7 pm. Should I eat something before I work out at 7:15, or should I wait until after working out? And how much longer should I wait after working out?
