Conflicting Info about Aqua Zumba Calorie Burn
I'm confused about how many calories Aqua Zumba burns. Some websites say it burns a lot of calories, and other say it doesn't. Which is correct?

Tracking Strength Training Accurately
I'm really confused about tracking my strength training. Every other day, I work out with weights, but when I try to track each exercise, it doesn't calculate the calories.

Eat my exercise calories? Really??
Wow. I'm blown away by the number of calories I'm supposed to be eating each day. I used to use Livestrong's site, and my trainer at the time told me to ignore the extra calories I got from exercising. It's killing me to think I need to eat those extra calories, especially when I've always thought I needed to really…
