I disagree on this. If I have a glass of water that I add Mio or crstal light packets to it is now probably 98% water and 2% flavor. I am counting that as water. Soda, no. When I have a powerade-zero after my workout to rehydrate, I count that. I know I would have trouble consuming as much water as I do without crystal…

I have noticed this too. I now sweat so much I have to change my socks between my cardio exercises. My t-shirts, which are on top of a compression shirt, look like I jumped in the pool. I could wring them out. Its CRAZY! I leave puddles on the floor next to the stationary bke which I have to cleanup. There have been puddle…

Best thing is to go to a runners store and have them get you the best shoe for your foot. What is good for one person is not good for another. That is whhy there are so many shoes available. As you lose weight you may need to change shoe size and or style. Just my $.02.

Not sure if it is fun, but I look forward to it. Today I have not worked out yet becasue I had a father daughter event at her school. I normally workout first thing in the am and now I am jonsing to get my sweat on.

If you are going to get a Heart Rate Monitor, get on with the strap around your chest to be the most accurate. (Dont get the wrist only)If, like me, the biggest thing you want is calculating calories burned, you can go with something like the Polar FT4. I have this. It is about $50-60. It gives additional information and…

Create your own. Do you use HRM? Then you can log the cals.

I recently bought a 40lb weight vest, which is about how much I have lost. When I picked it up I could not beleive I was carrying that much around a few months ago. When I had my daughters try to pick it up, it gave them a new respect for what Daddy had being doing all those mornings when he left before dawn! My 9 year old…

This^^^ I have my gym bag and everything I need for the day packed before going to bed. I get up, empty bladder, get dressed, kiss wife, throw food in the cooler on the way out the door. Alarm to key in ignition time is usually about 10 minutes. My alarm goes off at 0345, if I dont wake up at 0344 and turn it off before it…

I like a little meat on the bones.

I actually found several pairs I like at 5 Below. The go over the ear. I don't need my music to sound like a concert, so I go with the inexpensive ones. I have had a few pairs (even more expensive ones) die because I sweat so freakin' much. I just buy a few sets at a time and replace as necessary.

I have no weight equipment at home so I got this: You Are Your Own Gym: The Bible of Bodyweight Exercises Mark Lauren, Joshua Clark (less than $15 w/ shipping on amazon) I have not started any workouts, but the theory behind it is sound and proven. Nothing says you have to follow a DVD.

This. A lot. and not exercising enough. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe aerobics, but if you have HRM create your own.

Wife and planning on doing Baltimore in Oct. Need to practice before the real Zombie Apocalypse happens! :smile:

I love my Kindle. I was able to buy some books for my masters classes on it. Much cheaper. Will have paid for itself in a few more classes. It is a lot easier to carry around them the text books too. I have download .pdf files for work on it. I have started using it while on the stationary bike and elliptical and it is…

Big Brother knows whats best!!

To keep my job and hear wife wife tell me how sexy I am getting! :wink:

When I was a single man, I felt it showed a good work out and thought it attractive.

Well, it really sucks. If it gets much worse I am going to need three pairs of shoes so they have time to dry. I do have a towel to wipe my head and face, I am noticing that I use it much more frequently and it is wetter at the end of the workout. I do 60 minutes of stationary bike and 60 minutes of elliptical. I…

Becasue the Army tells me to!!!!!!

Wife and I planning on doing Baltimore in the fall.

I do often. We have regular drives where I work, so it makes it easy. I hate the finger prick, and love the goodies they give sometimes. The red cross t-shirts are great workout wear!

I used it this morning for an hour, with the "level" at 11. Burned over 700 calories, heart rate in the 140s and there were puddles of sweat on the floor. I was pushing to keep my speed in a certian area. As someone said you get out what you put into it.
