Hokay, so now I have a 3' diameter pink ball in my living room. :grumble: I never buy "those" types of gadgets... :noway: But it was shiny and pink, so I had to make the purchase. :blushing: Once summer hits here the humidity will be unbearable so I need to keep myself entertained inside during the afternoons. :sad: Does…

unconfuse my mind!!!
So many theories on "the night before the run" logic. So the night before a big game alot of althletes eat pasta for the carbs. However, reading info on line it says to eat light the night before a run. Whats the right way to do it. Its a measley 1.5 mile run but I need every ounce of help I can get to do it in less than…

Would you classify this as circuit training?
On Mondays and Thursdays and sometimes Saturday I take a class (Fast and Furious) at my gym. It is a mix of cardio and weight training. Would you classify that as a circuit work out? I also do a boot camp on Mon, Wed, and Friday mornings. We do different things and sometimes I have a hard time trying to input that…

Couch to 5k
This has been discussed here before but I wanted to reintroduce it to the newbies and others who are interested in running but don't know where to start: First, I'll start off with a back story: I was obese in high school. I weighed 177 pounds at my heaviest at the heights of 5'2-5'4. With many other obese teenagers, I…

HRM calories
Anyone know how accurate the calories on HRM are? I have been eating all my calories and exercising everyday using the calories measure on HRM. I have felt pretty drained and low on energy during some of my long bike rides (I even used sports drink). These rides are 2 - 3 hrs long with avg HR of 155. In the past 4 days, I…

Hey everyone, Sorry I've been out of the loop! I have been exercising, I just haven't been on to post it! I was having a really hard time getting motivated to exercise at all, so I gave myself some motivation. I don't usually work out on the weekends, but I do five times during weekdays. I told my husband that when he gets…

May 14 MFP runners club
Good morning! I hit the sack at 7:30pm last night (just to sleep), I was dead tired. I think it's due to my TOM. So needless to say, after a good nights sleep, I was up at 5am this morning getting ready for my run. I felt so good and refreshed. I actually ran my usual morning distance and I ran it 5 minutes faster than…

Netflix vs. Blockbuster
Hi All, I'm thinking about joining Netflix or Blockbuster online so I can get an everchanging variety of workout dvds so I don't get bored and so I can get more variety. Of course, this is in theory. Right now, I'm lucky if the twins will let me see 10 minutes of anything but my ultimate goal is to be able to have an…

Victorious Victoria Day Challenge. . .May 14
Morning! Today I have a long teaching day (covering for someone else). So, that's a 30-40 minute commuter walk. I was very pleased yesterday to discover that that walk (with the backpack) burns 200 calories. Then, "tilt tuck tigh(t)en. . .ya'll" Sorry, that's the hip hop abs guy in my head. He won't go away. I find myself…

I know this is annoying but...
I know this gets asked all the time, but MFP doesn't seem to have a sticky feature for the message board. Anyway, just using some round numbers, say I burn 2500 calories a day according to my BMR, and I have a diet target of 1500 calories per day, with 1000 calories per week of exercise thrown in. I know the consensus is…

What I'm doing today...
So my mother and father in law just bought a new house. I'm helping them to gut and decorate it. The majority of my day today will be painting, wallpapering, laying new hardwood floor, and replacing cabinets. I checked a calorie burn calculator for two hours of painting (it will be more like 5 (or more)hours of work today,…
