Well for one thing, mine is an eliptical, since that is actually a word and all. :)

I am training for a sprint triathlon. I originally had been planning to do it in the summer of 2016. One of my mfp friends, a seasoned triathlete, said something to the effect of " don't worry about what size you are. Decide you are an athlete and train like one." Decide before you ever go into the gym. Are you still the…

Why do people ask questions if they already 100% know they are right and are not going to listen to anything else? I hate to ask but... Any chance you are dating this trainer? You seem awfully defensive about it.

It took me a minute to figure out what crotchfruit were. That's hilarious. I'm going to use that one.

I used to work out with a friend that was way more fit than me. Wed so the same exercises, just using different weight. He'd bench his weight, we'd take some plates off, I'd do my piddly weight, etc. So however many sets, then go to another piece of equipment. Not that hard.

Stair mill.

Do you have spotify? If so, there are twenty or thirty workout playlists in there in various genres.

Battery life on fitbit... 1. Turn all day syncing off. It kills battery life on both the phone and the device. 2. The silent alarm feature is a battery hog. With the surge, the gps is a major battery hog. If it's possible (Idk if it is, I just have the charge hr) turn that of until you need it (running or biking). You can…

Good job. Show those punks who's boss!

My confession... My current favorite workout song is by... Selena effing gomez. Oh the Shame. I am a 35 year old man for the love of God!

I have saucony omni 13. I like them, but they are the only pair of real running shoes I've ever had, so I have no basis for comparison. During my fitting I tried some Brooks and some Asics, but the saucony felt the best so I got those.

Sweat is my fat crying.

Go to polar.com and check out the a300. It looks like it may be what you need. It comes out soon I think.

I'm using the pushups pro app.

I work in a diner. My usual breakfast is a grilled chicken breast, five eggs (hold the yolk on three) grilled onions and jalapeño in a tortilla. I can't figure out a way to get more protein for breakfast than that. Lol

I have a gaiam as well. It's fine. Also get the towel cover thing.

Sign up for a race or competition months out. I find the fear of making an *kitten* of myself an excellent motivator.

Polar is coming out with the a300 soon. Tracker and sports watch. Is check that out.

I like runnkeeper, but switched to Strava because it tracks biking too.

Mfp Fitbit Strava (tracks runs and rides) My first triathlon (my training plan) Nutritionix (for the occasional gaps in mfp database). Sattva (meditation app) I'm kind of a gadget / app wh0re.

No kids here. I want to travel. I want to write. I want to have fun. Kids would either kill, or greatly delay that. Some people say that's selfish. I figure it's selfish to add more people to an overpopulated planet just because I think I'm supposed to. People also ask "who's going to take care of you when you're old?"…

First of all, it's your body, do what you like with it. Now, to answer your question. IMHO, tone and definition is sexy as hell. Bodybuilder bulk is not my bag. But I'm sure some guys dig it.

Ugh. I wouldn't live in the Orlando area if you made me king of it. Worst traffic clusterf$ck I've ever seen. Plus you get the Florida heat without the ocean.

If I want to do the stair mill, I just go to the mall and use the escalator. Then I get a good run when security chases me.

I used to live in Tampa Bay area too. I loved it.

I'm training for a sprint triathlon, so I'll be doing lots of swimming soon. Unfortunately, my gym doesn't have a pool, so I'll have to find a place to play. I'm thinking maybe the health center at the local I University will let me see swim cheap, as I am alumni. That is heartening that you were able to knock 500m out…

Agreed. And you know what? Marriage and children is like being a grown up. It has downside, and aunt for everybody. I think that a large portion of people I know with kids would do differently of they had it to do over.

I imagine this is a conspiracy by sports bra manufacturers.

Don't forget to log any that you may have swallowed. I believe it is located north of a large Canyon...

Oh I looked at the website before I opened my stupid mouth. Lol I'll have to see about 2016. Alberta is a pretty far piece from where I live (tennessee). That race looks bucket list worthy. Like get a tattoo commemorating it worthy (not a tattoo guy.) Fun as hell in short. We need to find three more mfpers stupid enough to…
