I think from what I've seen of people logging it you can probably safely assume 3-4 calories per minute as long as you are going steady. I don't bother logging it myself as I usually do pull-ups and chin-ups for at the most 20-30 cumulative minutes throughout a day. So that would be maybe 60-80. I did see somewhere online…

250 for an hour sorta seems on the low side for that stuff. I would think the cardio alone should give you 250 in a half hour.

This is stuff that is working for me and has worked for me in the past. The greatest thing you can work that will burn cals sleeping is your legs. Keep up the walking and try and work up to 3 miles in an hour, that's a decent clip. The thing that will build leg strength is a good routine of squats. I really like the…

To the original poster... that is hilarious. "You can't lose ugly" I was thinking this thread was going to be the standard "Woe is me, I'm retaining water.." Or something. Anyway this made my evening.

A lot of games that use camera's have this problem. I have a boxing game on the Playstation 3, it's supposed to see where you are to dodge punches and it doesn't read very well either. I see what some people do on youtube is hang a light coloured sheet or blanket behind them, which isn't ideal.

Just look at a guy like UFC Fighter Chuck Liddell, the gut is the first storage space and the last to go. As someone else said getting muscle can balance it out a lot.

So true, it took me a long time to realize that. In fact it explains some very large athletes (linebackers mostly) who are incredibly fit cardio and strength wise under a lot of ballast. Exercising just makes you feel so much better and allows you to not feel like you are subsisting on strict portions.

If you want something simple and beginner based, try the stronglifts.com 5x5 program. It's basically 30 of lifting 3 times a week. You will NOT bulk up if you are woman, so don't worry about that, and it focuses on fundamental good form exercises with the squat as the major focus.

Hey, so is there an official "Man Cave Thread" on here. Could I have a link?

But where it it, LOL. I actually typed in "Man Cave" into the search and it came up with threads for depression and pregnancy :D Link please ;)

That is pretty much the opposite how i look at it, I feel sorta weird to have women in my friends list. Not that would be weird but it makes me uncomfortable, also my wife is pretty anti-facebook sort of stuff and I don't blame her. I'm married and stuff and to me it feels like I would be prying into chick stuff. I'm sure…

Cool, where is that thread? To the search bar!

I personally like walking more when it's cold versus warm, I think probably more calories are burnt. It's -30 right now, but that only makes me walk faster ;) Of course I am wearing a balaclava, snowpants a parka and a knit hat.( I don't know if anyone other than a Canuck knows what a toque is)

I made a fitness group for folks who want to join a Playstation 3 group. Info's in the first post, but i thought i'd better throw it in down here too. Group Name: MFP1 Password: MFP1

I would most definitely whole heartedly recommend it. I think Wii FIt was a bunch of fluff with good stretching and balance routines but this will really push you. The thing they added in sequel is no longer having to use the wiimote and nunchuk, I was always pulling the cable apart. Now it's armbands and a leg-strap so…

Hey, similar circumstances here. I've only been here a week though. I've been doing the fitness thing for about 4 weeks now and got down to 208 from 220. I'm not really sure what my final weight should be, as I do a bit of power lifting, but I'm only 5' 11", I'm thinking I'd look pretty good at 185. So I'll definitely be…

Mainly just something to drink that isn't boring as the wife and I watch Arrested Development. Thanks for the advice about the herbal tea, I think that would be pretty good iced and maybe a little honey and lemon juice. I'll make a trip to the co-op today. I also forgot about club soda as a good addition.

Thanks, i'm going to add him right now.
