3.75 Miles today 27/1 Andy

I have been recommended to have an incline of at least 1.0% for doing anything on a treadmill as a flat base will cause problems with the shins.

The sauna and steam room at the gym I use is used by all age ranges and both sexes. I can't see the problem with having co-ed saunas at gyms, you just make them clothed areas, they are not cheap to install so why have 2 in one gym? Andy

Hi Tami I find that the MFP database is usually much higher than the cardio machines I use, I will use the machine calorie count myself because you have put the details in and it knows how much you have worked during that time. When logging through MFP you are putting an amount of time on a machine, you could be walking at…
