  • I am Susan in Michigan and I've been 39 for several years now. ;) I have fraternal twin girls who will be 8 in March. I have the cardio exercise down, and I also do Pilates. My goals for 2014 are to tone up my arms/shoulders/upper back and clean up my eating (which is okay, but could be better). If I can lose 5 pounds…

  • I signed up for it in the past, but mostly just to try a few of the Try it Tuesday things out (like I really wanted to try reformer Pilates). I am forever trying to get rid of 5 pounds, but I don't have a huge amount to lose, so there's no chance of me winning. I like to do recreational 5K's, so to me the $25 was worth it.…

  • Reformer Pilates does nothing for me in the weight loss department, but it has done wonders for strengthening my core. I first tried a Pilates Boot Camp at my gym, where I went 3 times a week for 4 weeks. I really wish I could afford that (both time wise and money wise), but now I go once a week and I am still feeling…

  • When I've been measured at the gym I've always been between 21 to 25. I'd love to hit 20 and stay there. :)
    in what is your body fat %? Comment by jaznsusan August 2012
  • Do you wear a HRM that tells you the calories burned, or are you using what comes up when you choose that activity in the exercise list? I wear a heart rate monitor, and I periodically take the tests at the gym that tell me my anaerobic threshhold, fat burning zones, etc. Those are programmed into my HRM. I burn way, way…

  • How do you all measure miles if you are in a spinning class? I'd be in, I just don't really know how "far" I ride indoors.

  • I would more often if I had the time, but right now on Mondays I cycle in the morning and do Pilates Reformer in the evening.

  • I use a HRM and my normal cardio exercise is either 60 minutes of cycle or 60 minutes on the elliptical, both of which will typically burn between 500 and 600 calories for me. But with 60 minutes of Zumba I rarely break even 300 calories. I love it, it is super fun, but I hate burning half the calories of other cardio…

  • I do a 60 minute spin and a 75 minute. I am usually about 475-500 for the 60 minute spin, and 550-600 for the 75 minute. Now, I have noticed something really odd...I usually burn almost 100 more calories if I spin later in the day after I have eaten something. 98% of the time I do spin class at 5:15am. It's tempting to…
