Stairs
So... I've been trying to come up with creative ways to work out simply and for FREE. I've done C25K, working on 100 pushups, 200 squats, etc. and I walk 3.5 miles to and from work every day. I get bored so easily. I just realized, with the help of my HRM, that I can burn 100 calories in just 9 minutes of walking up and…

Logging calories
Is there a way to log the number of calories burned? I use a HRM, so I'd like to enter that number rather than pick and chose an exercise activity from the MFP database. I looked around and couldn't find that option, but I was hoping that I missed it somewhere. Right now I can get the number I want by upping the minutes on…

I've been drinking water, but not THAT much.

Shouldn't how much water we drink depend on our height, weight and activity level? Does anyone know of a formula that takes these factors into…

Learning to Run or Jog
I want to start jogging regularly. Currently I'm unable to job for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time without feeling like I'm going to die. Haha! How do I get better at this... I'd like to work up to jogging/running a mile or two or more at a time. How do people work up to that? Thanks!
