You might want to take a look at this http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-327-7727-0,00.html Depending on your stride you may not want a high arch shoe, check the bottoms of your worn out sneaker to see how your feet land.

What did you use to build it? Most decent CMS apps (Drupal, Joomla, ASP.net, etc) have some decent free templates and then it's just a matter of modifying the CSS code a little and make a few graphics. I have OK graphic design skills, and I'd be willing to help if you dont get any other options. I've done a few sites.

Im just finishing Phase I. I do the workouts and play golf 9 holes (walking) about 2x a week. I dont know if I was or am in decent shape, but for example can get through the first 30 minutes of the Plymetrics without pausing the disc, but then I have to start taking longer breaks in between the exercises to get my heart…

I tried the grilled KFC chicken last night, thinking it was somewhat healthy. After I ate my first piece I realized how greasy my napkin was.. I ended up using 3 napkin for 3 pieces (they are small) of chicken. This is NOT grilled chicken. Chicken I cook on my grill outside doesnt have grease all over it. Just a friendly…

I believe it's ok to workout muscles that are not sore to the touch. If you feel pain when applying pressing to the muscle, it's better to rest it or very lightly work it out (like walking or light cardio). If the muscle is not sore to the touch, it is probably just stiff. After a good warmup and some stretching it should…

I'm going to call BS on this product. I wish stuff like this did work so I could eat all the pizza and beer I want and just put a magic lotion on my skin and ride the beanstalk to skinny town, but alas I'm 99.9% sure that this stuff is snake oil.

It all depends on your body and everyone's body is different. Dont set your expectation too high, you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. Enjoy the small victories -- clothes start to fit better, you 'feel' better, you enjoy the high you get after a good workout, you're getting stronger, etc. If you're eating…

No way! I'm not falling for those sneaky aliens' tricks again. You know the old adage, "Probe me once, shame on you. Probe me twice, shame on me."

If I dont have time to make lunch or I just want to grab something quick, I stop at Subway. Sure, that foot long oven roasted chicken breast is 700 calories, but at least I get my veggies and hardly any fat. Now if you compare that FOOT LONG subway sub at 700 calories to: Whopper with cheese: 780 calories Big Mac: 540…

I just realized I posted the wrong link (it went back to this message topic) Here's the correct link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1170253/The-painful-truth-trainers-Are-expensive-running-shoes-waste-money.html and here's another one that supports bare feet: http://nymag.com/health/features/46213/ I…

sorry to go off topic, but how do you get 213% in the Wii Fit long run. I've done all the runs, even the one around the island, and I'm always at 70% or so. Is it because I run too fast?

OK thanks everyone.

Hi, I've stared adding more weight training to my workout routine and I have some questions about incrementing the dumbbell weight. I have 2 basic dumbbell bars and 4 of each: 2.5lb, 5lb, 7.5lbs, 10lbs. I'm trying to do two sets of 12 reps before I add more weight to each exercise. My question is: What is the correct…

Low carb diet - Atkin's, for example, and other diets such as Southbeach to certain degrees. It forces your body into ketosis. Cells in your body use glucose for fuel. Ketosis is when you body doesnt get enough glucose from foods (sugars and starches) and the liver synthesizes ketones from fats and glucose from proteins.…

Perhaps, your co-workers were hoping you would join them on the jaunt up the stairs. I understand, 5 flights of stairs may be impossible, but perhaps try taking the stairs to the 2nd floor and then the elevator. Then when you're comfortable with that, take the stairs to the 3rd floor and then the elevator, etc, etc.…

If you're worried about the fruit juice calories, why not just exercise? Exercise is actually the BEST thing for a cold. It boosts the immune system. I know its tough to feel like working out when you're sick, but doing the best you can will help you get better quicker.

When people talk about not doing the same routine it's to prevent what they call a plateau. No one is ever saying doing 100 crunches everyday for 3 months isn't going to make a difference. It will, however after a while you will no longer see as much gains from doing the same 100 crunches everyday. Targeting is referring…

Ya Wii Fit is about as low impact as you can get and still burn calories, besides a water aerobics class. However, you can (but dont have to) do a running in place exercise, which is as high impact as the Wii Fit gets. If fact, if you jump on the balance board the game will pause and scold you. My Fitness Instructor is a…

The Wii is about $250 and comes with one controller, one nunchuck and the Wii Sports game another controller + nunchuck is another $40 So just for the basic Wii and being able to play 2-player it's going to cost you $300. The Wii Sports that comes with the console can get you sweating, if you play the boxing, but the other…

Some studies suggest drinking green tea will increase metabolism, so perhaps whomever entered in that drink into the database took that into consideration. http://dietbites.com/green-tea-for-weight-loss.html Some food are like that -- celery, for example, actually COSTS your body calories to digest i.e. it takes your body…

Unfortunately, you can't tell your body where to burn fat. For me, my stomach is the 1st to gain and last to go. For women, it's probably hips and thighs. On the bright side, carrying weight in your hips and thighs is better on your heart as your stomach fat is the same ratio as heart fat, not your hips and thighs. Dont…

Dont beat yourself up about 1lb. It's been said your body can go +/- 5 lbs in a day depending on what you eat, water retension, etc. Tuesday I weighed myself and gained .5 lb. Wednesday I weighed myself and gained another .5 lb. Today, I weighed myself and now I'm down 3lbs from Wednesday. Go figure. Also remember, go by…

doing a full body workout isn't exactly a bad thing, but if you really truly only want the cardio, why not just increase the exercise duration to 90 minutes for the cardio workout. Maya is still going to devote a percentage to the calisthenic exercises, but that will increase your cardio duration. Generally the program…

Yea I'd say most people on this site fall into the "In beginners, whose bodies are extrememly responsive to exercise (some of the rapid muscle and strength gains in beginners can be attributed to neurological adaptations, irrespective of energy balance" Group. So muscle gain and weight loss are both possible…

I remembered this topic from a few days back... today I saw an article which covers this issue perfectly. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/post/new/49598-barefoot-runners I'm not a runner, but I do all my workouts in barefeet - cardio and strength. It stems from my old martial arts training days where we always were in barefeet.

You could just make a new profile and start over.

Yes and no. You cant go back once Maya starts you on a routine, however you can 'add exercise credit' and 'pretend' you did strength training, cardio, etc. Add exercise credits and then go back and click 'workout'. The routine she wants you to do should change (if it doesnt, try adding whatever exercise type she wants to…

I have both Wii Fit and My Fitness Coach. I would say Wii Fit is better for someone who is just starting to exercise and My Fitness Coach is a better overall workout. Wii Fit is fun for a while, but the lack of built in exercise routines (you have to pick and choose another game after finishing one) and the fact that it's…

The fitness test is where you input all your measurements and weight, plus active and resting heart rate. I believe you have to create a profile to access the fitness test.

I've lost 1-2 lbs since starting MFP about a month ago. I workout doing cardio for a half hour and a half hour of calisthenics/ strength training each day. Normally I'm at exactly 1200 calories or a little above/below. It's discouraging not to see success in simple scale numbers, however my clothes fit better and I can see…
