Strength training comparable to cardio in calorie burn?
I didn't used to think that was possible. In the last couple of months though I've been doing about half of my workouts with a HRM and noticed that the strength training that I'm doing is comparable in how many calories I'm burning per minute to the cardio that I do. Now to clarify I do mostly circuit style strength…

Hey, it's a good as excuse as any I suppose. :) I don't log much food, but since I just found out how to link my digifit app to myfitnesspal I'm pretty psyched.

Because I Can. Motivation in its purest from. Read this.
I found this on another board and am going to past it here. If this doesn't motivate you, then I do not believe anything will. Perhaps the next time someone asks you why you push yourself you'll simply reply, "Because I can". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I've spent the majority of my life in gyms, but sometimes I find inspiration…

weight bench VS swiss ball....thoughts?
So here's the deal. I've been working as an IT contractor for like 2.5 years for the military in various places. I work out virtually every day....emphasis on cardio but doing strength training about 3 times a week (for about 3 hours at a time...full body routine). Here's my dilemma: We have an elliptical machine at home…

I trust my HRM way more than MFP.
When I do an hour of cardio on the elliptical the machine itself says I burned 1500 callories. MFP says I burned 1100. My Polar FT4 says I burned 845. I just started using this particular HRM and though I've been making solid weight loss gains (because my goal is 2lb a week and I overestimate my food consumption slightly)…

Am I mental....?? Question about motivation.
So I decided today that I would no longer post my workouts on my page because for whatever reason I don't particularly need people congratulating me everytime I work out....it feels hollow and obligatory to me. I feel like people will either elect to workout or they won't and as kind and genuinely nice is my little…

Why did you choose the Polar HRM model you did???
I see a lot of people talking about how great the Polar is and they apparently make a great product. Would you guys care to expound on the reasoning for the decision that lead you to purchase the specific model that you decided on. The seem to really run the gamut in features and price and I'd be interested to see what…

When should I weigh? I flux as much as 10lbs!!
Ok...for starters...I am a BIG guy...people feel compelled to comment on the size of my hands. I'm not like 2/3 of people that walk into the gym and want to see how much weight they can benchpress. I do an hour of cardio 6x a week and strength training 2x a week. I push myself fairly hard on my cardio workouts and sweat a…

Is MFP accurate regarding elliptical calories burned?
Ok...for starters I weigh 310lbs...my current target is 300lbs and I've already lost 15lbs. I am a big guy...not fat....BIG. I'm 6'4" and most of the time when I shake people's hand they feel compelled to comment on the size of my hands. Now that that's out of the way.... In peak physical condition I weighed 290lbs. Right…
