I was first in age group (fourth overall) in an indoor triathlon two years ago at a local health club. There were 43 overall and 7 in my age. First is first!

I use the following triathlon workout for strength straining. http://www.active.com/triathlon/Articles/Incorporate_strength_training_into_your_regimen.htm?page=2 I guess you can do this as a circuit. But I agree with other posters stating the best way to train is swim, bike, run. Remember to include "brick" workouts that…

The Center for Disease Control offers this formula for measuring BMI: weight x 705 ÷ height in inches ÷ height in inches For example, I am 6' tall and weigh 168 pounds. 168 x 705 ÷ 72 ÷ 72 = 22.85 That's my BMI or percentage of body fat.

The Centers for Disease Control states the number is based on a ratio of your weight compared to your height. You can calculate your BMI by taking your weight in pounds and multiplying it by 705. Then take…

I am sorry for your losses. Stress and grieving is difficult. Here is the easiest tip to follow. Eat food in it's natural state. Avoid as many processes as possible. Drink skim milk or water.

This challenge is the Army Physical Fitness Test (go to http://www.army-fitness.com/index.php). The link will give you the standards by gender and age group.

There are lots of ways to vary your workouts on a treadmill. Try "fartleks." They are unscheduled changes of speed and incline. For example, run 3 minutes at a level 6 (out of 10), run 1 minute at level 9, run 4 minutes at level 3. It's as simple as that. My favorite treadmill workout is 1/4 mile repeats. Run 1/4 mile at…

Take advantage of this opportunity. people do not choose a career as a therapist for the chance to make fun of others. I'm certain she will be a wonderful support person and give you the motivation and education you need. Best of luck!

The difference is how the body stores excess calories. All excess calories that you eat will be stored as fat. If you eat 100 calories from fat, it takes the body 3 calories to store it. If you eat 100 calories from carbs, it takes 25 calories to convert the carbs to fat and store it. Most protein eaten get absorbed into…

Hi. My name is Pete. I feel somewhat guilty being here since my 8 pound weight loss going is nothing more than vanity. However, I am trying to eat more natural foods and MFP helps keep me honest. I have been a runner for 35 years and a triathlete for 12. My philosophy over the years has always been, "eat a donut, run a…

I have always been an athlete; runner, cyclist, triathlete. I always had the philosophy that if I indulged too greatly in food I would just have to run longer or ride longer. Bicycling magazine cover story in May 2012 issue, "Your Ideal Weight", provided a calculator to measure your weight against a generic professional…
