I used to be scared of weight lifting.. then I dislocated my knee and learned that the best way to AVOID injury is to strength train. I love lifting, it's the best way to change your body, feeling strong is amazing and it doesn't take a lot to get started! Grab a couple sets of dumbells at Walmart, if you are on a budget,…

Thanks guys! I will check out that thread :)

Would love to add more friends who are fitness motivated and like to chat in the newsfeed! :)

I do this once a week. Usually one weekend day I will eat what I want (within reason) and not worry about my goals for the day. But, still track your food as you don't want to break that habit. Sometimes when I hit plateaus, switching up the fitness routine will get things going too.

Thank you @Emilia777 !! :) I have a husband who is just as addicted, a personal trainer who is amazing and kids who love the kids club, mixed with awesome gym buddies, it's a good time for me.

@Emilia777 I eat all of my calories for the day plus all of my exercise calories, averages about 2100 - 2600 a day, my base is 1680. I work out 5-6 days a week, doing 7 classes at the gym. I'm down 40 lbs since mid December, with some very big losses in the beginning.

Sure I would :) More accountability!

Why wouldn't it be accurate when it's straight high intensity training? I don't see how it would be any different then using it while running or any other sport.

We could all use a little motivation! :)

When I first started working out, I was eating about 1600 calories a day. Then I would go into the gym and burn 600-1,000 calories in a working, not realizing that I was only netting about 600-800 calories a day. I was losing weight, but my body fat % was not going down. After working with a trainer, I learned my mistake…

2 Hours - and I track it using my Microsoft Band Heart Rate monitor. It's usually about 1,100 calories for the 2 classes. Zumba alone will burn 600-700 calories in an hour.

I spend 5-6 days a week at the gym, most days I burn about 800 calories. But, there are two days when I do a Zumba class followed by either Body Pump or Ripped (High Intensity Interval Training) class and I can easily burn 1,000 calories between those two.
