The site explains that there are too many variables, such as weights used, sets, reps, personal weight, muscle tone, effort, etc. One way to estimate how many calories you burn with strength training is to go to Cardio and use "circuit training (I use the general option)" and add in the amount of time you spent on your…

That sounds like good advice for me, too. I don't look like I have fat anywhere else on my body either. I actually am very satisfied with every part of my body except my ab area. I can feel the muscles underneath my belly, but trimming it down seems a great challenge I've been working on for months, without much results.…

Hiya! I love eating and I love food, too. That's why I exercise haha. I want to be more mindful of what I eat and how much of it I eat at each sitting. This site helps sharpen my skills to be aware of the decisions I make, and also reminds me that those decisions affect my lifestyle and overall life. Add me if you'd like.…

My ex moved from 12 to 26 within 4 months, and she was a lightweight. By the time our workout program with a personal trainer ended, I…

Hello, tiggerzshorty, Reid Park is a great meeting place. That's actually where I used to do most of my park running. We don't have to do the full 3.1-mile round. We could run a mile one direction, then turn back. I run slowly, too. I focus more on keeping my run going and not stopping or walking. I love using the kettle…

It's uncomfortable for a little bit, but I get used to it quickly :) If you're staying through fall and winter, hit me up when it gets cooler…

That used to happen with me and my ex. We got on a fitness program together, SWAT Fitness here in Tucson, and paid thousands of dollars to be trained by a personal instructor. He's the best one I know, by the way. He taught us (or me) so much about nutrition and proper workout techniques to build lean muscle. Anyway, after…

I was tired of being sedentary. I remembered when I could run a 10K and finish only slightless breathless. I realized that I was still consuming foods the way a runner would, except I wasn't running or exercising in any way. I liked having abs when I was physically active in running, martial arts, and rock climbing. I want…
