I am wondering what cardio works best for you. I mean what cardio exercise results in the most calories burn over a 15-30 min time. Broken down further I wonder which exercise burns the most calories per min for you. I have tried several different cardio workouts and for me kickboxing seems to be the most effective…

What to eat on my day off
I am a firm believer in logging everything I eat and to make it easy for myself I eat the same things day in and day out. The results have been great and it’s made it easy to log in to MFP almost every day for a year now. I can say I have only missed a day or two logging foods at the most.

Leg press vs. Squat
I think most of know that the squat is a far superior exercise then the leg press but I am wondering what your working weight is with both and your max. My working weight is around 820 on the leg press and 315 on the squat. Max is over 1,000 on the leg press and 455 on the squat. Working weight is normally 3-4 sets of…

How do you count “net carbs?”
So my fellow carb counters how do you count carbs. The packaging on these tortillas I just purchased say only to count the “net carbs” as it’s high in fiber. So total carbs are 19g and fiber is 15g so I should only count 4g. What do you do?

Giving advice at the gym (okay or not)
Ladies and gentlemen is it ever okay to give someone else advice at the gym? I never have and don’t intend to even when I see people (almost always guys) lifting the wrong way (ladies always use proper form) :)
