Difference in calories burned on websites
I was checking how many calories I burn on my bike rides, and I noticed that there is a difference in the amount depending on what website I checked. MFP tends to be on the low side it seems, sometimes differing as much as 150 calories from other sites. Is there a reason? I'm still keeping up riding an hour a day and…

Small Bits of Fitness Add Up
"Where did the day go?" Is this a common question in your life? Many of us jam-pack so much stuff into our daily routines, seemingly there’s no time to relax for just one minute, let alone exercise. Lack of time is one of the most common excuses for not having a decent fitness regimen. But do you realize that in the time…

walking uphill & downhill question
I've googled various exercise calculators and they all seem to have the same 2 options: walking 3.5 mph, uphill walking 2.5 mph downhill This is a bit frustrating because I do tend to go uphill more slowly 3.5 mph and downhill faster than 2.5 mph.

1st 5K run
Today I'm feeling proud of myself. I completed my 1st 5K Race in 32min. The weather was 39 degrees and raining the whole time.
