  • I had the same thing happen on a treadmill. My dr told me to use a recumbant bike instead and it worked great. He said upright bikes and elleptical machines are also hard on the knees.

  • Cool - some of the comments I read on Amazon say that it is kind of buggy - does the new arm band work pretty well? Have you tried any of the strength exercises?

  • I used a Body Bugg for a bit to measure the accuracy of callories on EA Sport Active and found that sometimes it was close and other times the BB showed that I burned more.

  • Yo! I wondered if and where the guys were. For work outs - my staples are Wii Active Sports, Active Sports Plus, and sometimes the plain old Wii Fit games. I tend to have trouble with knees, so I steer clear of the routines that stress the joints. I sometimes will use a balance ball. For strength, I bought exercise tubes…

  • The equation is simple - burn 3500 more calories than you eat and you lose a pound of fat. However, with exercise you also gain muscle which adds weight. These are good pounds as muscle increases your metabolism, which in turns burns more calories. All tracking programs such as MyFitnessPal work by helping you determine…
