I'm new to this site (heyyyyy) and I just wanted to say that it is SOOO WONDERFUL to have stumbled upon it!!! I began Power90 (not X) and I wasn't sure of how much I would have burned. So, I searched on AHA website and they gave me a range...so I chose the lesser...but BEHOLD, on the exercise diary, it calculates it for you based on ur body weight!!!! PERFECT :-) instead of underhanding my work to 400 cal. burned, they calculated 700!! whhewww...way to burn!!!!

    Yes, this site is pretty awesome! Its my new fav. app on my iphone. Im thinking of starting p90 soon too. I dont think I can handle p90x yet. You should look into a heart rate monitor if you want a better reading of exactly how many calories youre burning. I got mine from craigslist for $35, a savings of over 75$. I even wear it shoveling snow just to see how many cal. I burn. Keep up the good work.

    Good job! I also recommend a HRM. It's amazing to see how many calories you burn doing normal activities like house work, lawn work, and daily errands! Congrats again!

    Just a reminder with an HRM, as you lose weight, make sure you make the adjustment in the settings. Unfortunately, the most we lose, the less we burn :sad: But HRM are fun.
