Frustrated Newbie
I'm not sure if I'm strength training correctly. I have been working out hard for the last three weeks and have been eating right and added protein into my diet and I stepped on the scale today to see a 5lb increase.

"Build Your Own HIIT Routine"
OK, I'm a pretty seasoned gym-goer and I have my home strength workouts down pat...but I realized something yesterday when my routine got out of whack because of a cancelled spin class; I haven't strength-trained on my own without a trainer or group with me at the gym in FOREVER. I froze up and reverted back to "omg this…

Strength/Cardio Alternation
Hi, Up until now, I've been doing virtually nothing but cardio (primarily Couch to 5K and cycling) to make the whole eating at a deficit thing a bit easier. I've decided that now would be a good time to start introducing some strength building exercises into my routine but I have some questions about that. I've already got…

Polar loop,polar FT7, or different fitness device?
Hi all! I want a fitness band that I can wear that will track calories from all activities (including lifting) and heart rate.

Have I Gained Muscle or Fat?
Hi. I had lost all my excess weight by July of last year. Since then I am up about four pounds. I have assumed it is fat, since over the holidays, etc. I did eat more. But how do I know for sure? Maybe I've actually gained muscle, since I wasn't eating at a deficit anymore?
