Need to change routine for the last bit?
I'm on my last few pounds and I'm told that this is going to take the longest and be the hardest to lose. With that being said, I'm assuming that I should change my workout routine? Should I now be including some weights too? I'm not really sure how to change my workout to maximize my calorie burn for each work out. Right…

Exercising in the evening: post on what day?
Like most people, I exercise in the evening often before the evening meal. So should the exercise + calories be posted for that day or rather the next day when you really burn up the calories?

Walking through Disney World all day
My husband and I took the kids to Disney World yesterday...we got there at noon and stayed until the park closed at 10 pm.

Well, I did it!
I've done Banks' boot camp routine three times now, and it is killer! The first time I did it, I couldn't get through all of the frog jumps or the crab crawls! Now, I am proud to say that I can get through it, although I still can't do the frog jumps or the crab crawls non-stop just yet. If I did the frog jumps non-stop, I…

Easy way to remember

I have been working out with my husband:grumble: , and when I am with him, it is easy, you just follow him. He does one exercise and I do another right next to him and switch with each completed set. No breaks in between.…

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.

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…
