Help knee-ded
I am having pain in my knees when I go up stairs or do squats/lunges. I think I need to strengthen my quads but does anyone know of any other exercises to strengthen the quads that don't involve weight bearing knee bends... I've also had to remove the hill interval training from the elliptical. I've never had knee problems…

Elliptical Trainer problem
Does anyone else find their feet go to sleep when using the elliptical? I can maybe make it for 20 minutes and then they go so numb they start to burn!!! I have to stop and walk it off and then start again... it really stinks because I want to keep my heart rate up and feel like I'm starting all over again when I get back…

Does anyone else feel like an idiot?
I have Exercise on Demand and I decided to try Billy Blanks Tae Bo. OH MY FREAKIN' GOD!!!! I used to be really coordinated back in high school, now I'm almost 10 years out and not so much. I felt like a complete idiot. Some of the stuff I could do, but then he gets going really fast and I can't keep up. I felt so…

No way I'm eating all these calories!!
We spent over 3 hours this morning helping create a walking path at a nearby retreat center. We were cutting down small trees and hauling out branches through the woods, etc. I'm bushed! I finally found a website that gave me an estimate for that type of work and it said 1,921 calories!!! I only gave myself credit for…

I need music please!
Hey, I am getting BORED at the gym! I have about 100 songs on my mp3 player and I need new ones. I love classic rock, anything 70s, 80s, and even 60s motown. But, I don't like country, most techno, and scary rock (disturbed, etc.). Give me songs! Just list away. I have searched high and low but can't find anything else.

Victorious Victoria Day Challenge. . .May 3
Well, today is hard cardio day. (spin class for an hour, and walking there and back) Surprisingly "butt sore" today. I think wens sculpt, thurs elliptical (I'm pushing the resistance there, and upping my incline) and friday sculpt was a little hard on my "bummy" (to quote Jillian). So after spinning today, my first dance…

What was your hardest workout ever?
My second hardest class ever, was yesterday - a boot camp interval class with only two students in it. I was very lucky the other student was new to the gym because she slowed us down a bit. The class was suppose to be interval, but the teacher mentioned she was going to do boot camp - the "interval" was 1 min upper body,…

POLAR F6-ers...a quick question!
The HRM saga continues...still making a decision. Does the F6 come with the chest strap? It doesn't seem clear on the amazon site. Thank you so much! Oh and if so, what size did you get/ are you happy with your size?

What counts as exercise?
I haven't been logging exercise on the days I don't do any organized exercise (take a walk, do a DVD, take a class, etc.), but on those days, I end up REALLY hungry and usually go over my calories. I spend a good part of every day cooking, cleaning, carrying my (22 lb.) son around and walking up and down the stairs. Does…

Decision made on HRM
Ok, after spending a few hours this afternoon looking at HRMs, I decided to go with the Highgear PulseWare Duo Heart Rate Monitor with Fingertip HR Sensors and Wireless Strap. I got it on Amazon.com for $39. Few reasons I went with it: 1) Price--it's only $40! and it had decent reviews on the 'net. It's basic but will give…

Tune Into Your Body_Jillian Michaels
Your body is trying to tell you something, but you're just not listening! To win at the weight-loss game, you've got to make some changes. One of the most important ones is to stop listening to anything but your body to establish a realistic weight for your specific build. Forget about what you see and hear from…

calculation are high
Just wondering, don't you think the exercise calculation for what you burn is rather high and if we are to eat those extra calories isn't it defeating the purpose? I need to get a new battery for my HRM to double check. For instance tonight's plan is to WAP w/ Leslie Sansone a 5 mile brisk walk for 65 min. The calorie burn…

Half Marathon
So, I decided that I really want to run a half marathon and that having this goal will really keep me on track with the running!! But I'm wondering, the longest I have run as of now is 5 miles... will it be possible to train and be ready for a half-marathon on August 30th? I think I can do it, but some friends of mine said…

Your favorite HRM features
Okay, I'm about to take the plunge and I've read most of the past posts on HRM, so I know the Polar F6 seems to be the monitor of choice and...I thought I was about to make the purchase when I found out that my local REI is having a sale on the Timex HRMs. As far as I can tell, they seem to have most of the same features…

ear is plugged
I've posted about this before but I'm going to post it again. Every time I do cardio my ear gets plugged and I'm really hoping someone has some suggestions on how to prevent it from happening. It's getting to the point where it is such an annoyance that as soon as it plugs I just want to quit my workout. Anyone have any…

Girls lift Weights TOO!
Many women fear resistance training, believing that it will add bulk to their physique and make them appear masculine. Even those who realise it is an important part of an exercise regime may still feel apprehensive about approaching weights. It could be the very large, scantily clad men huffing and puffing in the weight…

What do I look for in a gym?
Well, it looks like I managed to peg down an apartment for when I move the first week of july, and its going to be remarkably cheaper than my current apartment (by a good 400 dollars a month or so). This means that joining a gym is a completely realistic possibility now. But.. I've never joined a gym before. What should I…

Hard Copy/Why it's Hard for a Woman to lose Weight
Here's the hard copy of why it's harder for a woman to lose weight while exercising than men.

Arm Size
Hi Guys, I am a 24 year old woman. Im kinda small(5 feet 110 pounds), but whatever I eat goes to my arms and cheeks. My arms are quite big. I was wondering, what should be the arm size of women typically? I know that it would look ugly if I try to flaunt my arms in a sleeveless dress.
