(skipping a day in between workouts) My husband & I joined a different health club about a month ago & I have been following this 30 minute rule. I see other…

Foot pain. Help. Plz.
When I work out I get this pain in my right foot. And just the right one. Its on the outside, kind of like a cramp and I feel like I need to stretch it. I do, but it interupts me during jumping jacks, squats, or pretty much any thing that I do standing up. Sometimes I think that my balance is off or maybe my ankles are…

Biggest Loser 2 workout video
Have you done this workout? I borrowed it from the library. The neat feature is that you can select the sections you want to do and then it plays them in the order you selected them. If you have done this video how do you log it in? Also, how do you log in the warm up and cool down of an aerobics workout? The warm up and…

Strength Training: Good for Muscles, Great for Bones
My doctor frowned last spring as he studied the test results. "You have a little bone thinning," he said. "It's time for you to start some resistance training." The news didn't surprise me. My grandmother was stooped by the time she was in her fifties. My mother suffers from compression fractures in her back. She always…

The "Burn"
I had an earlier post & got a few comments on feeling the "burn" when working out: Aerobic - I generally feel this right away, but it goes away in 5-10 min. Weights - I feel this when I get into 2nd or 3rd set of reps Normal? or should I be pushing harder

Anyone else ever...
Does anyone else ever decide to eat whatever you want as long as you work it off? Today I wasn't hungry but I was sooooo bored at my office I couldn't stand it. Everyone is ALWAYS eating here as well. So I had a veggie burger from the cafeteria although I wasn't hungry just bored. So that means I have to do 95 minutes of…

Victorious Victoria Day Fitness Challenge April 7th
A new week, a clean slate, new challenges. Last week I got all my challenges - only one dessert, 2 hours of weights, and slowing down the eating. I can't tell you guys how much the slowing down has helped me. Actually, I can tell you: last weekend I went to Dallas and didn't log calories, went out to eat, but still…

Should I go to the gym today?
Here's the scenario (apologies for the length): I decided to change up my exercise routine. Saturday, I used the treadmill for 45 minutes, and did as many 1-2 minutes spurts of jogging (5mph) as I could do. I did roughly 6 minutes of running to 39 minutes of walking. (Hey, we all have to start somewhere.) When I came home,…
