I do aquacize 2x a week at the local community pool. One is deep water focusing on strength and core the other is tabata. Galaxy watch tracks as aquacize but it doesnt pick up on MFP. Food and water is populating from the watch. But no steps or exercise. Is there a way to edit and just add the exercise manually and…

I am so glad to hear that you can still build strength without squats. I have so many problems with my bum foot, last time I did squats I was in an ankle brace for nearly a month and still feeling it. I am looking for alternative exercises to build strength that keep pressure off my stupid foot. :D I lost over 100 pounds…

Good post. I have to say, I tend to shy away from gym's because I am one of those who have no idea what the heck they are doing. I asked Santa for sessions with a personal trainer to learn to work around some of my physical limitations but my partner has a different mentality than I do. My partner sees anything like…

I am 46, so I have had too many New Year's at times square. We stopped doing Times Square after 9/11 because they corral people into checkpoints to go through metal detectors and then you are corralled in square blockades with standing room only. The checkpoints close at 4PM so you have to be there by Noon if you want to…

I just got my Fit Bit Ultra from my Dad. My significant other thinks I am nuts running up and down the stairs and using my step board from the Wii Fit to get extra steps while watching TV. Always looking for new ways to work around my plantar fasitis and knee problems. http://www.fitbit.com/user/23Z7NX

In this case, it would be psychological abuse and the only solution is to draw a line in concrete stating it is unacceptable to make abusive comments and any other psychologically abusive behaviors. If the line is crossed, the solution is simple... leave. If the person doesn't leave, then they must come to terms that they…

You probably will not like what I am about to say, but there are two ways to look at the situation. If you have a problem with willpower, then reason to lose weight and get healthy is not strong enough. You need to find your own "why" and stick to it no matter what. Putting the blame on someone else because you chose to…

It depends on the workout. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, I am only back on program 1 week today. I used to be relatively fit on an elliptical 30-40 minutes a day and a high impact strength/cardio workout like a boot camp, kick boxing, or some of the high impact Beachbody videos. I used EA Active for Wii (and Wii…

The real question, what do you have to offer as an on-line friend with the hopeful common interest of getting healthy and committing to progressively challenging exercise?

People are stupid an often show no class like in the woman in the food store. When I was traveling for business last year, I was trying to do some shopping after hours before going to my hotel. I had a big event coming up and knew I would not have time to get everything done when I returned home. The sales clerk…

I was diagnosed with plantar fascitis 5 years ago and was forced to give up running, treadmill, and my elliptical. The end result was over 100 pounds gained. I finally decided to suck it up and start again this week after seeing a horrendous photo. I used to to High impact cardio kickboxing for 60 minutes with a 30 minute…

I went to go visit my old roommate who I have not seen since we both went our separate ways in 1986, When the pics came back, my old roommate was "older" but no different. I thought I looked really good until the pictures came back and I was like a freaking beach ball! Even since my profile photo, I put on 56 pounds since…

I do get angry at people who have wronged me, but I have learned to take a step back and realize that it is on them. I am giving them the power to have an affect on me. A perfect example is a former friend who I bought a house with. We had been friends for a really long time and had an agreement we would each pay 1/2 the…

Last weekend I was at a training seminar (two twelve hour days) and did not have the chance to exercise. I came home with the flu and wound up switching from the bands to 3 pound weights because I felt so weak Monday. Did not even get to the end of the strength training before getting lightheaded and realizing I had a head…

I just finished "Ramp It Up" What do think the estimated calories burned is? Just curious... :glasses:

I ran across this thread and think it is an important one. A little rough and took some thought. 1) My ability to work through adversity time and time again. 2) In March 2010, my company offered to rent a wheel chair because I couldn't "make it". Today, I can go through a 60 minute high intensity cardio workout. 3) My…

My question is ... what are the pros/cons of PF? Do they really teach you how to use the equipment without charging hidden fees and teach you the basics to get the ball rolling? I get it that it's not a "real gym" because of the rules on grunting and properly breathing, etc. I know nothing about lifting weights or gym…

Give me the ratty sweats any day of the week.... especially the ones baggy in the legs and butt that used to be form fitting and tight. :happy:

About a year ago, I had some serious mobility issues with a fallen arch. I was in such a bad way for so long, my core was out of wack and I walked (and still do at times) with a noticeable limp. The Wii let me choose an exercise 1 minute at t time. Of course, I increased. I realized i liked boxing from the Wii and found…

I started with Slim in Six over the winter, and wound up losing a good 25 pounds in 6 weeks. I wound up buying the entire Debbie Siebers program because I can do it. A lot of the exercise programs out there had me frustrated because I just wasn't coordinated enough to jump from move to move. This is the first program that…

I could give you the details of my wight gain/loss history and the things that triggered the change.. But essentially the problem of every weight gain has been an erratic eating schedule and not eating enough. There comes a point that the body will go into a starvation mode and hold onto calories, convert them into fat…
