was gonna offer to join if you needed anyone else. Lemme know!

Yes and I am afraid it is a "waist" of time... terrible pun I know! The true facts are that you can not remove body fat in spots. You have to use a total body fitness and diet approach to expose abs.

Hey hey! I can support, challange, or just be around! Good luck and take care!

I totally agree! Sorry, I wasn't even thinking about the impact of the outdoors. So run where you are comfortable is the bottom line! Take care!

I like Nike Plus GPS, it tracks your miles, pace and post to face book and keeps a great visual record. You can set up the time to be called out at certain intervals (mine is at the mile marks and every 15 mins), but I am not sure if it would be everything you want. Its the one I prefer though!

Seriously?? Ha ha some of my family used to tell me that but I always thought they were messing with me!

yup if you eat it, drink it or consume it... then you count it! You will be surprised where calories and nutrients can work their way in!

Hello and welcome!

not all carbs are created equal! I work swing shifts and I eat 60/35/5, or I try to! ha ha. So the ideal of my diet is to eat 60% carbs (oatmeal, broccolli, peas, carrots) 35% is lean protein, and 5% healthy fats (omega 3's, chia seeds). Long story short I use my work day as the schedule of how I am going to eat. 6 weeks I…

http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/heart-rate-reserve.html more on the heart rate!

yup thats the basic concept. 220 - your age = maximum heart rate max heart rate - resting = heart rate reserve heart rate reserve * 65% + resting heart rate = lower limit heart rate reserve * 85% + resting heart rate = upper limit good place to start! good luck!

normally it is the top and bottom range that you want the HRM to alarm (beep) to warn you when you hit the prescribed zones. Look up finding your heart rate and that will help you find your lower and uper limits.

check out nike plus for the ipod or nike plus gps app for the iphone. I love it! I am doing the Air Force Marathon Sept 17, 2011. So I am in! Good luck with your new goal!

Not trying to sound like a jerk or anything but get off that treadmill and get outside! Its better and easier to do intervals. I like 90/30's. To start you jog 90 secs, and sprint 30 secs. You slowly work your way to running 90 secs and jog 30 secs. Give it a try, but make sure to hydrate. I always felt like I was wasting…

beans and lentils help alot too! Do you take recovery days? If you are stuck could it be that your body has reached its comfort zone? Maybe a change in routine or up the intensity. Start looking at BF% and see if maybe muscle is the culprit!

I have always used the 10% rule. I never go from zero to full blown marathon or triathlon. Instead I increase my workout length or intensity only my 10%. It reduces the chance of injury too. Take care!

Roll out of bed, wash my face and hands and then I fight with the process of seperating the yolk from the whites of my eggs. On occasion I forget to place the pan down first!

Thanks everyone! I do body weight and kettle bell workouts. My bud keeps trying to get me to become a crossfit instructor but I have not bought in to it yet! I have seen some good things on the Xfit endurance. For now I will stick with what I know and keep researching!
