People use shakes for different things. I, myself, am terrible about eating breakfast and I find a shake a quick way to ensure I get some nutrients in the morning to start the day. I loved the taste of Shakeology, but I felt the cost was unjustifiable. I also liked that it had a satiation quality to it because it was…

Full fat chocolate milk (and a banana) within 30 minutes is what I use for post workout.

Amy, sorry I'm a little late on this, but if you haven't found a timer yet, this thing is spectacular for the money. I've used mine for a couple of years now and just bought a second one just in case this one ever dies I love it so much. It is really easy to program, the volume is very adjustable, the alarm can be made to…

Fresh, if I have the sound "on', it makes a sound any time you move out of the zone on either side. It is a distinct, sort of odd sound; not a beep, but it is not very loud at all. In fact, it is pretty hard to hear in my opinion. If you work out to music or are on a moderately loud piece of equipment such as a ergometer…

Done P90x several times; I still can't do the stupid Dreya Roll completely or Crane in Yoga X.
-
I've done about 6 rounds of P90X. I really like it, but you need to take a break from it for a few months at a time if you are going to continue to use it as a regimen IMO. As far as injury from it, those that get injured aren't listening to the DVD's completely. There is no reason to get hurt with it. There are 3 levels…

I used to manage a gym in the late 80's early 90's and competed in powerlifting. I can absolutely confirm that I have gotten far better results for overall fitness at home by using a good workout space with body-weight exercises, good adjustable dumbbells (Ironmaster), HIIT, Tabata, a TRX, and a Concept2 rower. I go at my…

Kerry, the best way for the everyday fitness person to figure these things is to invest in a GOOD HRM (heart rate monitor). It will become your best friend and you'll find it indispensable. Don't cheap out on it and use the ones with the chest strap. It will be the single best investment you make on your fitness journey;…

You must be fit to run...you do not have to run to be fit. Get after it with what works for you and what you enjoy. Just move, you'll start to feel better and want to do more, and then you'll do research for different things to do and it will all waterfall. You've just made your first step in thinking and asking...good for…

Agree with this. Sprints are great; long distance jogging is better than nothing, but not great IMO. Long distance running is about becoming efficient in your energy usage and movement in order to become a better runner; not to become fit. I live by the adage that a great training once told me: "Running won't make you fit,…

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but my FT4 shows your target zone and also beeps if you fall below it. You can also vary the target zone manually if you choose.

JM2C if you like. My wife and I both have FT4's. I've had mine for about 3.5 years, she's had hers about a year. Her's has not had a lot of use, but she got her's based on my experience with mine and other brands. Mine has been used very hard. I've had to change the battery in the watch and the band sensor transmitter each…

36 pounds in 8 months is not unreasonable by any stretch!! I lost 30 my first round of P90X (90 days) 2 years ago with just cleaning up my diet and completely cutting out fast food. Well done sir.
