Weight room woes...
I'm at college, so our rec center's weight room is full of buff jocks and their teeny blonde counterparts. It's very very intimidating... there's no one to show you how to use the machines, and I've never worked out with weights before, just done the elliptical and stationary bikes... I was wondering if there was some...…

Tips for first visit to the gym?
So, my husband and I have been looking at gyms, and we finally found one we like. It's small, well-staffed, lots of machines and not a billion people (even at busy times.) We're going tomorrow night after work for the first time. Does anyone have any suggestions about what a first workout should look like? It's been a…

Average calories burned...
I was just wondering how many calories everyone tries to burn during their work out or if anyone has a goal for burning calories. I normally try to burn around 400 with my normal workouts and then one day a week burn around 600. What about everyone else? I'm wondering if I'm working myself too hard. Although, I always feel…

Decrease in Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity??????
I just checked my "goals" and noticed that the number of Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity went from over 1,720 down to 1,690. If I am exercising more shouldn't the number go up? Why did it go down? I feel like it means my metabolism is decreasing which should not occur if I am exercising more now than when I…

I'm starting a new six week program tomorrow where I'll do cardio MWF and weight training TTH. My question is this is pilates considered strength training or cardio? I know it's kind of a stupid question but I really want to incorporate pilates into my routine. Thanks for any help.

stationary bike
I don't often post so I apologize if this question has already come up. I had knee surgery three weeks ago and for the moment can no longer run or do tae bo or anything that is too high impact on my knees. I got myself a stationary bike as the doctor said this would be good for my rehab. My question is about the calories…

Rebounding
A few people have emailed me asking about rebounding. Rebounding is done on a mini trampoline. However, you need to be careful and not buy a cheap version or you won't stick to it. There's a HUGE difference between a $39 rebounder (which is a toy) and spending $200 on a piece of exercise equipment that will last your…
