I would suggest getting a Garmin vivoactive HR (VHR). They are a little pricey but you can use it for multiple exercises such as weightlifting, swimming, cycling, running and a many more. All of these exercises will prvide you with an approximate calorie expenditure. Outside of going into the lab nothing is going to give…

Tivo or DVR isa great option for avoiding commercials. I despise commercials!! You can really take advantage of DVR's and Tivos for this very reason. Not to mention you can save a lot of time..you can watch 3 shows in the time it takes to normally watch 2.. I've seen the Golden Corral commercial, however they have the…

It is the displacement... Think about your statement..... How big of a box would it take to fill with a pound of feathers versus a pound of gold... A pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. Therefore a pound of muscle on the body weighs the same as a pound of fat on the body however it looks much smaller…

Just remember after 5 minutes of running you will warm up. Of course you have to be properly dressed.. Tips for cold weather running...Thin layers are good..NO COTTON....A nice cold weather running jacket might be needed for very cold. Gloves/mittens are a must have as are ear protection. Head bands that cover ears are…

It's logical...Increase temps make you work harder increasing your overall heart rate average thus can cause an increase in calorie burn. You could have 2 exercise regimens..one with a MHR of 200 and one with a MHR of 175. You could eaily burn more calories with the lower MHR due to the overall HR average

My Theory would be different intensity....Compare your overall heartrate graph..not just the final number.. Again though like someone else said it is just an estimate. Also note if you change your weight (in the measurement device) your calories will calculate different.

I just found this site..needing to lose some pounds before my next Marathon. (Shamrock in Va. Beach) I thought I would join in and see if I can figure out how to do this..LOL
