doing ab crunches
I am totally new to all this calorie burning, dieting and excercising. My question is, last night I purchased an ab roller, I believe it would be for crunches. In the data base it asks for per set per something whatever I don't understand it. Say I do 20 crunches how do I put that in the data base? Thanks a bunch!!

Backpacking?
I've packing a 60lb bag 4miles about every other day. I was wondering if this is a good excercise or not. I really need to work on some cardio, I know I'll probably get some strength training out of it but is it helping my cardio? I usually try to jog about a fourth of the way in intervals. Any advice would be appreciated.

I haven't took advantage of that because I think that would defeat the purpose and make me maintain or gain weight. Please if anyone has a…

constant heart rate vs varying heart rate
I am just wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference or is one more effective than the other? 1). a varying heart rate program on the cardio machine (as in going faster and then slower to vary your heart rate) 2). Keeping your heart rate in the "fat burning" zone rather than the "cardio" zone (FBZ=110-140, CZ=140…
