He has knowlegable information but lately he does seem to have gone over the edge especially when he starts endorsing psychics and mediums and endorsing olive oil for dandruff. I just take the shopping cart theory taking what I like and leaving the rest.

I am every Monday. I am in maintence phase which sometimes seems harder than losing. I am nervous every Monday morning. I don't mind if I don't lose but when I go to family functions or to a restaurant I always gain at least one lb. It pisses me off even more when I gain after I haven't gone anywhere but been careful by…

I think the idea of the foam mat is a good one but be sure it is thick enough that you don't trip on it. I had to remove my rug as I kept tripping on it. The idea of doing it when people are awake is also good. As somebody else said it is only a short time during the day and you are worth it. I don't think it is that noisy…

Thanks for this information and quite timely too my doctor told my husband and I to get more protein. I am watching my carbs and decided that beans with rice would put my carbs way over so I tried beans alone and my body is fatigued so I think that 8 grams of protein wasn't nearly enough so I told my husband to buy turkey…

awesome! I wish MFP had a like button.

make sure the bike shorts have a thick crotch. They are pricey but well worth the investment if you will be doing a lot of classes. I bought an inexpensive pair and they only lasted me a month so I had to turn around and invest the money anyway. Keep up the good work with the spinning. The soreness will go away. It used to…

Ditto 30 day shred it the way to go.

I have the same issues and I run it under tap water too. Exercises that are supposed to burn 600 calories an hour only burn 300 for me when I push myself hard. I know my metabolism isn't that low. It is annoying.

well said everyone. I especially agree that MFP needs a like button.

I also burn 120-150 calories doing all levels of the shred.

I have the Polar F4. It doesn't have a pedometer but I have been using a separate pedometer for years and they last way longer than the heart rate monitor for about $12.00. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I recorded my calories in myfitnesspal.com when I used to take Body Pump at the gym. It was usually ranging between 150-300 calories depending on the time and the instructor. They say you can burn 600 an hour but I think my metabolism is sluggish especially when doing an AM class. Hope this helps.

Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. Only 20 minutes and has 3 different levels. The Firm on VHS are also awesome. You can purchase them on Amazon.

yes you can do it. I didn't think I could either but found myself doing the kettlebell workout level 1 and the regular shred level one on the same day last week. My butt and abs are screaming in a good way. I love Jillian.

I had the same experience as Sister. It is expensive for only having a circuit. I am having much more success at home with DVD's than I have ever had in any gym but I am also a homebody.

I find it is best to add extra cardio like walking to it. It is a great workout.

Dito!!!!!

The spinn instructor will help you with your bike etc. The classes are fun too. I used to do a lot of spinn before I quit the gym. Now I go to the thrift store and buy different dvd's and videos and am not bored at all.

something weird happened I think. Mine has been acting strange too. When my rate of perceived exercion tells me I am in the zone it will say my heart rate is 56 and then when I stand up it automatically jumps to anorobic over 142. Today when I was waiting for the light to turn green I went anorobic when I was having to…

just keep doing what you are doing and watching what you eat. You will see results. They say muscle weighs more than fat. You probably heard that before. Don't be discouraged. I need to listen to my own advice. I hope your knee feels better real soon.

Good Job. I love that machine. I used to use it every day when I was going to the gym. It is a great machine. I liked doing the cardio setting for 30 minutes.

New Balance has a style that I have worn for 5 years and I won't turn back. The ones with the higher numbers are the best. It is something like 1100 but I don't think that number is right so go to the New Balance store and they will lead you in the right direction. Yes new shoes are a must. The ones I get are highest…

cat stretch and spinal twist help mine also laying on the floor with hands over your head. Good luck.

600 calories for an hour of spinn is farely accurate if you are going at it very hard.

maybe you need different shoes.

I like the idea of keeping them quessing.

I think I did today. I have been drinking the bottled water from Walmart.
