    Hi all! New to this group.

    Cardio: Treadmill 0.75 miles 15 minutes 106 calories Bike 3.5 miles 15 minutes 103

    Strength: not quite there yet; I need to work on my upper body as I have 0-Nil strength there

    Assessment: Usually really good at staying on point (except for yesterday).

    I do have a question though. I recently joined a gym and I've noticed that the exercise calories from their equipment is vastly different from the number MFP gives. Has anyone else noticed this? It's not really a problem as I rarely ever consume those "extra" calories; more I'm just curious.

    Welcome to the group @kayfhoward1 and yes, the calorie burns are different between the machines and MFP. Most people say to take MFP's numbers and cut them in half. There are also exercise trackers you can purchase but even those are mostly estimates. If I eat calories back, I only eat maybe 30 to 50 per cent of what any calculator says. It can be annoying but there's really no exact science to this as we're all just a little bit different in how we burn the calories based on a lot of factors. As long as you're exercising though you're burning extra calories but primarily there are huge health benefits to it so keep it up!

    Losing weight, if that's your goal, is really based on what you eat more than exercise.

    I spent yesterday walking around the Aquarium of the Pacific with my grandson so put in quite a few steps! I wasn't sure I'd be able to get my long run in today so just took off running and waited to see how I felt once I got going. Ended up doing my longest run yet..........yippee!

    Cardio: 4.6 mile run on the horse trail

    Strength: Tomorrow, and boy am I looking forward to it!

    Assessment: Back to normal!

    Have a great week everyone!

    Welcome kayfhoward1! Yeah don't rely on those. Because gym equipment is used daily by many members, the calibration gets thrown off and NEVER get recalibrated until the machine has to be totally repaired. Better off just getting an HRM for CARDIO purposes.

    Hi everyone! Just a run this morning and looks like tomorrow is going to be a rest day. I've kind of worn myself out with all the walking and running last week so it seems my body is protesting by just being kind of sore all over. I'm sure a rest day will cure all of it though.

    Cardio: 3.1 mile run on the horse trail with my dog. Took it a little easy and made it a recovery run and kept my HR in the 135 zone. Felt pretty good but my feet and hips are just sore tonight from everything I've been doing lately............uggghhhh

    Strength: Probably Friday

    Assessment: I've been low on protein so I need to get back on the stick on that

    Hope you're all having a great week!

    Strength: was my intention at the gym this morning but there were more people than normal and I let my self-consciousness get the best of me
