If you like Excel, I made a spreadsheet that does all this automatically for me. http://rockwellfitness.com/?page_id=1194 at the bottom of that page is a METs chart. If you pick the appropriate MET and use this formula Total Calories Burned = Duration in Minutes x ((MET x 3.5 x your weight in kg)/200) Its what I use and it…

The only thing I use the dreadmill for is intervals. My favorite is 9/6 or 8/6 speed intervals. Do 1 min at 9 and 1 min at 6 or 2 min at 8 1 min at 6. I only do it for 20-30 mins and I never recall looking at the distance. Total focus is on the tick of each misery inducing second. lol. So in short, IMO if u are paying…

Perhaps I am confused or missing something. Why in the world would you want foods that are 40/30/30? I am on that macro nutrient % and I achieve it by meal totals through out the day. High carbs am, midday is all 3 and evening meals low carbs mid fat and high protein. Is this some sort of diet where u eat foods that are…

In absence of a HRM as well as the fact alot of posts on here have talked about HRMs not being very effective for weight training calories burned i just use Total Calories Burned = Duration in Minutes x ((MET x 3.5 x your weight in kg)/200) the METS charts are available online but weight training is listed as 3 for light…

I think this sort of min/maxxing is what keeps the exercise forums in business but I will throw in my 2 cents. You have glycogen stored in your muscles and in your liver if I remember correctly. Muscle contractions use that first then move to whatever is next. If you weight train first the glycogen gets used for what its…

Well this motivated me to do research on something I dont care about. It appears I may be incorrect according to who you ask. Like many things in body related issues here is some stuff that says both. So pick one and go with it either way your right :-)…

Please dont buy a gel saddle we will make fun of you. Go to a real bike store if your saddle is a problem and they have seats for females different pelvic structure and they will measure the distance between your sit bones and get you the correct width. It may be mildly uncomfortable until the 2 patches of skin between the…

Here is waaaay more information than you can receive on a forum. http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html

This is not referenced knowledge but Im sure a Google search would point you in the right direction. But, I am fairly certain I have read that sweating is a adaptation of the body to exercise. People in good shape sweat buckets an example would be watching basketball players. I would imagine as you get in better shape and…

The point of it being a great post exercise recovery drink is the Simple Sugar to Protein Ratio. If you use light/fatfree what ever you are missing the freakin point Sugar and Protein immediately after workout replaces glycogen stores and creates a insulin spike which assists in protein being rushed into the muscles. Its…

I use a multivitamin, Calcium, Magnesium, vitamin C, Omega 3, Zinc and Vitamin D as well as 3 weeks on 1 week off of Atro-Phex and of course Protein for part of one of my midday meals and part of my post-exercise meals and Creatine Monohydrate.

I do weights with 30s-60s between sets and superset things when reasonable, it speeds up the workout greatly as well as greatly increasing EPOC., Then I do 25mins of exerbike or running at 135bpm for a even 60mins of exercise 4 times a week in the mornings. Thats easily 500 calories. Then in the afternoons I do 30 mins of…

Make sure you aren't too close to the pedals or it causes knee pain. Actually this goes for all bicycles, take your heels (while wearing whatever you will exercise in) and put them on the pedals and pedal. Your knee should be very close if not fully extended while pedaling like that. When you put the balls of your feet…

You would probably do well to follow the MFP suggestion of 1lb/week. If you set maximum effort goals and expect to use minimum levels of effort you are just going to fail. My post was more of a warning to the amount of workload you should be expecting if you really want to lose 2#/wk for any useful amount of time. Its…

I have averaged about 2lbs a week since mid December. Of course I am male so I have a pretty significant advantage over you lol. I have went from 230-188 since then. I run 5-8miles Tues,Sat mornings. Do exercise bike 25mins after weight training Mon, Weds, Fri and Sat. And I do Vinyasa Yoga 3 afternoons a week when it fits…

I found a glitch in the matrix for METS in the above formula use the MET list off of http://prevention.sph.sc.edu/tools/docs/documents_compendium.pdf

This may or may not help but I built a spreadsheet off of these formulas. Total Calories Burned = Duration in Minutes*((MET*3.5*your weight in kg)/200) MET= %of Max HR(avgHR/maxHR)*0.9 Kg= your weight lbs/2.2 Max HR= 217 - ( age*0.85 )

I have to add in my copypasta information overload as well! http://www.drpribut.com/sports/strengthprinciples.html http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html http://www.scribd.com/doc/2668412/Rippetoes-Starting-Strength-FAQ

I only have a few words.....MOAR SQUATZ U PANSIES!!!!!!! lol I have a love/hate relationship as well. I love them on Thurs-Sun. Mon is squat day and then I hate squats monday afternoon thru the waddle stage lol. They really are the best move a person could possibly do other than deadlifts. Congrats to everyone with the…

Im gonna have to say I feel deadlifts from my neck to my Achilles. Thats why it is the single best exercise EVAR!! If you only did deadlifts twice a week and nothing else you would still be really freakin strong. The same cannot be said for other exercises except maybe squats and the Olympic movements.

I think the science behind it is secondary to the fact that if you have the drive and commitment to get up every morning and workout then you are going to succeed at your goals because you are at the point mentally where success is the only possible outcome. Also, the rest of your life will follow because that level of…

Hows this http://articles.elitefts.com/training-articles/no-excuses/ Someone once told me, “Excuses are like armpits. They stink and everyone’s got them.” This is even more evident in the training and nutrition realm where excuses are used more than ellipticals at a commercial gym. You hear it all the time—I don’t have…
