Elliptical calories - Help!
I LOVE the Elliptical machine: it is by far my favorite cardio - except for this one thing. How come the Ellipticals vary SOOOO much in the calories burned? One machine says one number, and another machine (same program) says another number. I wish I could figure my own kcals....even the "Calories-Burned" websites…

Anyone own a Bowflex?
This picture is what our Bowflex has done for my son....I have no interest in taking it to his level, but do think if I could find the right routine, I could definately benefit from a resistance training program. I have searched and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I guess my biggest fear is not doing the…

Spinning vs Recumbent Bike
Well there isn't really such thing as a Recumbent Bike "class" I don't think - but back injuries are definitely BAD. That is what kept me away from exercise for a week. My physical therapist said that people with back injuries should use the recumbent bike because it not only puts you in a more ergonomic posture, but it…

Bragging...a little
Ok, when I first started working out hard in September, I took a class at the gym that used these evil little gliders that you stand on. The teacher had us do mountain climbers on them, but I couldn't. I tried to even do them 1/2 time, but I couldn't get my butt down like everyone else and I felt like a moron. I haven't…

Exercise and burning calories question.
If I rollerblade for 30 minutes and burn x number of calories, is this all the calorie-burning benefits I get from the exercise? Or does the exercise also boost my metabolism for a while which in turn increases the number of calories I burn that day in addition the the initial x calories burned while rollerblading?

This site is my inspiration
I never thought it would work for me, but I have to say, tracking my food and exercise is making me keep doing it. I have said I would work out before, always started and quit within a week or two because I had no motivation and/or medium to measure results. But after a month on here, I can truthfully say I think I will be…

What are some of your favorite songs to dance to?
I notice some of you are using dance as a workout. I love that, too, but I have not as yet put it into play. I am kind of waiting for our Northern Thailand winter to set in, when I may not feel like getting into a swimming pool after a 50 degree night. (BRRRR) Any way...some great tunes I have danced to in the past: Play…
