cardio verses strength training
I have a personal trainer & I see him 2-3 days a week and on the days I don't see him I do cardio. When I record my cardio on here it adds a bunch of calories to my daily but on the days I see the personal trainer I record it under strength training & the calories stay the same. Why is that?

What Time Do You Workout?
I used to be a morning person. Now that I'm a single parent, things are changing. I find it easier to get things done after the children have gone to bed in the evening. I used to exercise at 4:30 am. Now, getting to bed at 2-3 am, I have no plans to be lucid anywhere near 4. I, therefore, workout late at night now. I'm…

Tae Bo Lovers?
I mention it often in my posts, but let me just clarify that I LOVE TAE BO!!! It just fits my personality. I was turned on to it after a not so pretty nursing school ordeal. It was much safer for me to punch air than people, so I fell right into it!!! I started aerobics at the age of 10 with a Kathy Smith CASSETTE!!! After…

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 have 2 small kids and it's been raining outside. Is there anything I can do at home that is cardio or anything to help me tone up and get a good workout? I hate video's and I need something that's quick. My youngest is only 6 months old, so he is very demanding and my daughter is almost 3, so it's very hard to get a…

Not meeting the daily goal
If I am off by say 100 in reaching my daily goal in burning calories does that put the chances of loosing weight off? I still don't get with burning the calories I earn more to burn? 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…

Gliding Your Way to Fitness on Elliptical Machines
If you're looking for some variety in your cardio workouts, don't pass up the opportunity to try your gym or home elliptical machines. Here's why: (1) They work the legs through a very wide range of motion. (2) Because you can glide backwards as well as forwards, they enable you to exercise several different leg muscles.…

calories burned
Does anyone else find it hard to figure out how many calories they burn during a specific exercise? For instance, today I did an hour of yoga (it was a beginner's dvd), according to one website I looked on, I only burned 133 calories for the hour. Now I know that yoga isn't cardio, but I'm telling you, my muscles were…

Protein requirements
So a guy at the gym suggested I am probably not getting enough protein in my diet. So I tracked it and i get about 50 gms....well I am supposed to have about 100 since I am doing strength training etc. Otherwise my cardio will burn off my muscle instead of fat. Doesn't that seem like a lot? Anyway, does anyone else have…
