Run a search on Indoor Cycle Trainers or Indoor Cyvling Trainers and you will get some good results. These will be like the spin bikes they have at the gym, pretty decent. If you have a bicycle, you can also buy a resistance trainer that you attach to the bike and you have your own stationary bike, I have one and recommend…

I have a meal every once in a while(maybe once or twice a month) where I exceed my calorie limit, it isn't a "cheat" day, it is over eating plain and simple. The only one you are cheating is yourself if you don't change your lifestyle or your habits, having a "cheat" day sounds an aweful lot like an excuse.

I work full time, go to law school 3 nights a week, and am committed to 27 hours of studying outside of class, so I feel your pain. On school nights, I run atleast 3 miles at lunch, or sometimes 4, like today, and really watch my calories. If I can't make a run, I don't over eat. Non school days during the week, run or…

For Chicken with the skin and bones still on, so breast, thighs, legs, etc. put in a baking dish, add a little orange juice to the dish(not too much, about a 1/4" deep) put paprika, salt and pepper on the skin, cook at 375 for 60 minutes. Super moist, and great flavor. My go to.

Sounds like you "bonked", basically your body did not have enough fuel for the workout, it is a pretty common thing. If it keeps happening, make sure you eat something an hour and a half prior to exercising.

Professional Cyclist and Rock Star. Get paid to ride my bike all day, and then shred on the guitar at night......ah that would be the life.

I like to drink, and have figured that into my calorie content for the day. I have also replaced high calories mixers, Vodka and V8 Splash is my go to these days. Replaced high calorie beer with the 64 calorie variety, drink most stuff on the rocks (wild turkey 101), and if I am having wine, well, I just keep drinking,…

Here is a training schedule I used for my first marathon. Saturdays are long run days, and most important, especially the 20 mile run day. Rest days are important to avoid injury, and so is cross training(biking, swiming, etc.). It works. Good luck! Week Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 1 Rest 3 mi…

Mustard and Sirachah, or any pepper sauce is amazing too.

My goals: To look amazing at my wedding(already going to happen), break 20 mins in a 5K, break 1 hour 45mins in a sprint distance duathalon. Complete in a olympic distance triathalon.

Just starting back at running. Used to be a runner in High School/College and my PR's there were much faster than I will be able to achieve again. Current PR's: 1 Mile 7:05 (goal sub 6) 5K 23:52 (goal sub 20) Marathon 4:45 (goal 3:30) My main focus right now is building endurance and doing speed work, lots and lots of 400…

Amen, me the my bike and the road, and if there are any newbies on the road, I pass them and leave them in the dust.

From a male perspective, put on your big girl pants, and just tell the guy you aren't interested.

I prefer the Timex zone trainers, had mine for ever and love it, it is easier to use than the polar, and in my opinion better than the polar ones.

(Enter alcohol type here) on the rocks, cuts out all the extra calories.

Try some of the pre-programed intervals on the eliptical unit itself. There is a bunch of good stuff on the internet too: http://www.livestrong.com/article/172609-how-to-do-high-intensity-interval-training-on-an-elliptical-machine/

Best way is to input each individual ingredient, i.e. ground beef, red pepper, oil, salt, etc(whatever they may be). You should be able to guestimate the serving size and it will be very close on your calorie content.

I use MotionX-GPS, very accurate (if you turn wifi off), it has a music control build into the app. There is a free version and a paid version. You can also start your music before you use the other programs, that is what I did before.

You would hate me then, lol. Butmy numbers are done through my HRM. To the same effect though, I work very hard when I run, bike ride, or play hockey, so my numbers are legit.

welcome, feel free to add me.

I personally base my caloric intake off of my BMR, the calorie number MFP gave me was really low and I was constantly hungry, and would bonk on hard workouts because my body didn't have any fuel to work with. There are other sites that will give you a more accurate picture of the calories you will need in a day, (in my…

I am a goalie, still playing D1/D2 adult leagues. Get a couple forwards and we got a team

I couldn't agree with you more, I am a runner and a cyclist and find no need to lift weights.

What ever works for you is the way to go. . Me and cardio are good friends, but I also make sure to have a trainer put me through the paces once a week, my heart rate gets elevated to the same level with my trainer as a good interval run.

What has worked for me is tons of cardio almost everyday(need a rest day now and then) with situps and pushups. Start slow and build up, Rome wasn't built in a day. I also do a circuit training day where I made sure to hit most of the muscle groups. Diet wise what has worked for me is just calroie counting, stay within…

This article might shed some light on it for you: http://news.menshealth.com/diet-soda-heart-disease/2012/02/08/

If you are a runner, there are running clubs you can join, if you are into cycling there are cycling clubs. One of my buddies has gotten a lot into Cross Fit, seems pretty social there too.

For me riding my bike or going for a run puts my mind at ease, so does a punching back, or playing the guitar/piano, music is a gateway to emotional release, at least for me.

Add me if you like, MFP is a great site.
