  • I think you're talking about the lats (latissimus dorsi). If that's the case, dumbell rows, bent over rows, and lat pulldowns are good. You can also do exercise ball pushups (45 degree angle), or use a stability ball (rest your abdomen on the ball, keeping your body in a straight line from your feet to your head, alternate…

  • Use a heart rate monitor and you'll get a pretty accurate count.

  • I use my FT7 two to three times per day, starting and stopping each time. Once you hit stop, your watch should display just the data for that exercise period. When you sto pand start again for the next exercise period, it should capture and display just that data. There's no need to reset the watch or the data, as all of…

  • I tore my MCL a few months back, and during rehab I did all of my upper body exercises for a while on a balance ball, as well as using the stationary bicycle for cardio. Once it healed a little (so it could bear weight), I did a lot of boxing for cardio (heavy bag and boxing the "air" with weights in my hands. I also…

  • I've lost a newborn calf, but one of my friends told me I've lost an Olympic gymnast and I think that sounds bigger (even though they're pretty tiny). I'm hoping for a small fashion model. Thanks for posting this great list! :laugh:

  • I have asthma as well, but it was in control before I decided to lose weight and get into shape (funny how that works). When I started working out and running inside and out, I had loads of trouble. Everything I tried that's listed here I did with a doctor's advice and under his care (i.e., didn't just randomly try things…

  • Congrats on quitting and sticking it out. I quit 9/5/08, and it was almost a year before the cravings for a ciggie stopped popping up at least every few days. I was a 1+pack a day smoker, totally addicted, and smoked for 25 years, so quitting was really really hard. I gained 30 lbs when I quit, but it was totally worth it…

  • 1. Weber Kick'n Chicken spice mix (put it on chicken breasts, sometimes with bread crumbs/planko and a bit of parmesean cheese, or just on chicken patties) 2. Kroger Grill Time Tuscan Blend seasoning mix (same as above, plus put it on shrimp and stir fry) 3. Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Fat Free Balsamic Vinagrette…

  • I love hot Oat Bran and Cream of Wheat, but on days I work out (at noon 4 days per week) I eat Archer Farms Cinnamon Start with Protein. It's got 30 g carbs and 15 g protein, so great for fueling a workout. It does have a lot of sugar (14 g I think) and is higher in calories than I'd like (190 cal), but it's filling and…
