  • I used to be an aerobics instructor in 1987 when Elaine Powers closed a new place opened up called Living Well Lady! It was in East Detroit, Michigan. I'm laughing thinking about the blue and red spandex bodysuits HAHA

  • I use a heart rate monitor when I strength train and it is different every time depending on how many minutes, and if I'm working legs the number is always higher, etc., but typically for me it's usually around 200 for 15-20 minutes (everyone is different). I always record the calories on here under "Cardiovascular"…

  • YES - I do 30 minutes cardio on the elliptical, legs, then back to the elliptical for another 30. It burns a ton of calories (and I have a lot of fat to get rid of) :smile:

  • If your doctor gives you the "OK", you have no injuries, pulled muscles, etc., then flog it!! Ever watch The Biggest Loser? After they are given the green light by all the doctors, Jillian works them until they puke! Nothing wrong with doing 60 minutes on the elliptical in the beginning. Do what you can, set the resistance…
