How effective are 10 minute workouts?
How Effective are 10 minute workouts? I’m a huge fan of the 10-minute solution DVD’s. Main reason is I can fit in workout while waiting for coffee to brew or over to heat up for dinner or what not. I try to fit in 1-3 a day, plus my 45-60 minutes of swimming at the Y 3 days a week. I’m trying to lose weight-as I’m…

Using the elliptical machine at the gym for cardio because it's easier on my knees. Regardless of intensity, is 2 miles (example) on the elliptical machine the same as walking/running the same distance on land?

Fitness Trackers advice??
I'm looking to buy a fitness tracker for myself for my birthday next month. I'd like something I wear on my wrist, with a heart rate monitor and keeps tabs on me during my sleep. I'd also like to be able to wear it in the water as I do a lot of lap swimming during the week. I also am on a budget-I really don't want to…

setbacks and succeess
My goals for 2015 fell short..I ended up the year almost no money in my bank account instead of the 400 or so in savings I wanted (low income here) but I did come out slightly ahead-at least we have some breathing room instead of panic mode over how we're gonna make it. I started my Undergrad Certificate in HR back in…

workout videos-which ones are the worst?
I'm always hearing about the best workout videos of the year, the best kind or latest greatest. Well, I rarely if ever hear of the worst ones.

Logging Food???
Hope I am posting in the right place. First, is there a way I can log the food I ate yesterday, or make changes to it? Second-I do a lot of home cooked meals. Is there a way I can say enter a recipe I cook at home like my home made meat loaf and then figure out how many calories are in it instead of guessing how much of…

How do I log this Water workout?
3 times a week I go to the Y with Hubby. There he and I take this class in the pool called Difficulty with movement, and it's taught by a physical therapist. We use a pool noodle and 2 water dumb bells. It's 30 minutes of stretching. Arms, legs and back. We do leg lifts, sit ups and twists in the water among other stuff.…

fitness equpiment for someone of my size?
This time last year I was around 442 pounds. Today, I'm down to 389 pounds. I'm interested in adding step aerobics and a stability ball to my workout routine, but all the step aerobic benches and stability balls I've been able to find in stores and online all have a weight limit of 250 pounds. None seem to be able to…

Water, water water..how much do I drink?
I'm mixed on how much water to drink. I've been told to drink half my body weight in ounces of water, and I've been told 8-10 glasses is more than enough. Now I'm confused, how much do I drink?
