Correct Calories burned?
Hello all! I've started a new job as an archaeologist and am digging outside with a shovel and 16 lb steel bar for roughly 8 hours. I wore my Polar FT4 chest strap/heart rate monitor yesterday and in the 2 hours & 45 mins of digging, my HRM said I burned 1400 kcals. Is that really possible do you think? My Stats are listed…

Stretch Marks/Call for help
I guess this was my wake-up call this week. This week I noticed two HUGE stretch marks on my stomach. I've never hard kids and haven't had stretch marks since puberty. I am really disgusted and mostly disappointed in myself, mind you. Let me explain why. I am the occasional gym rat. I LOVE working out, I'm just NEVER…

10 Reasons why women should NOT lift weights.
Put it down, woman! 1. You might break a nail. 2. You could even bruise a male ego or two. 3. You’ll eat properly and still be able to lose fat. Work of the devil! 4.

You should have had a V8
Lately I have been TRYING to eat cleaner and healthier. I picked up a V8 for the first time in forever. I looked at the label and it says it has reconstituted vegetable juice and natural flavlorings. What the heck is that? Is sounds like recycled to me :) Is V8 as healthy as it sounds or is it death cleverly packaged?

Buffalo/Dowager Hump
In gaining weight, I have noticed that I have a slight hump on the back of my neck closer to the shoulder blades. I know this is due to weight gain and posture. Is there an exercise that I can do to build muscle there and get rid of the fat, I know you can't target fat, but a general exercise that will burn calories in…

OK, I want to do the Color me Rad run in Jacksonville Sept 29th, 2012. I know lots of Jacksonville people have said they were going to do the run, but I figured here was a good time for all of us to get together and know each other, maybe schedule runs together so we won't run alone (like myself D': ). Let's get talking…

Running Form?
I did Week 1 Day 1 of C25K on Friday ( I am a beginner runner). I was fine, walked 3 mph and ran 5.5 mph. I think I might have pushed myself too hard or something though because the back of my calves were cramping and hurting so bad. So, I took it easy over the weekend. Today on my lunch break, I tried to go for a walk but…

I hate running but I know I need it.
Let me clarify. I hate long distance running, but I know its probably the most holistic way to get your body back into shape. Sprinting, is fun to me though, I look at is as a race. When I run long distance, I have all the negative thoughts in my head, how much my body hurts, my knees swelling, how I am probably not…
