Sprints- How Fast?
I'm reading the New Rules of Lifting for Women and following the exercise plan generally by lifting one day and doing HIIT the next. Sprinting 1 min, running regular pace for 2, repeat for 20 mins. How fast should I be sprinting? The first few times I sprinted I think I was running at 7.5 and felt a couple of pops in my…

My nonscale success yesterday
So, I'm 40 and I have a very active 5 year old. Yesterday we went to the fair for 4th of July. I parked 2+ miles from the fair and pulled my 52 lb 5 year old and all our stuff in a wagon. Pulled the wagon (and kid and stuff) up a very steep hill, through the crowds multiple times, and then back down the hill jam packed…

Stationary bike calorie burn discrepancy
why is there such a big discrepancy between what MFP tells me I burned doing 20 mins on a stationary bike (244) vs what the bike tells me (144)? Both MFP and the bike know I am 150 lbs- and I use a resistance of 14-17 so I am not just going for a leisurely stroll. Its hard work! I believe the bike (144) before MFP (244)…

Please dont wear perfumes to the gym

Resistance on the elliptical or bike
For a much higher calorie burn and a better workout, increase your resistance! I cant believe how many people i see with a resistance of only 1-3. Make your time in the gym count! Push it!

Back on it. UGH
Last year i lost 13 lbs very easily and quickly using MFP. Raved about it and told anyone who would listen. Then i got sick of logging every little calorie when i wasnt looking to lose anymore. So I quit tracking. And i am back up 5 lbs. So here I go again. I do find tracking every little thing i consume quite tedious but…

Calories burnt- MFP or machine?
When you are doing cardio on a machine at the gym that has you input your weight in before you start, why are the calories burned so different from what MFP calculates and which do you trust more? I always go by the machine

Ugh, sugar!!
I decided to give up sugar and sugar substitutes about a month ago to see if that would help me lose these last 5 lbs. No sugar or sweetner in my coffee or tea, no honey on my low fat greek yogurt, and no more than 2 pieces of fruit per day. Well in the past month I have been successful at staying at/under my goal of 33g…

I'm seriously lacking potassium
Besides bananas, what are good sources of potassium? And what is potassium good for? It is bad I am not eating enough? I eat less than a third of my "goal" per the app. I guess i could google it:)
