Lunch protein shakes
I have been trying to drink protein shakes for lunch to save money and up my protein and lower my calories. To make the protein shakes taste better I've been adding some extracts, and it makes them taste delicious. So far I have tried chocolate powder and caramel extract, and cookies and cream powder and vanilla extract.…

Exercise after microdiscectomy
I have been dealing with pain from sciatica/ herniated disk (l5/s1) for 5+ years. My pain doctor is sending me to a surgeon for a micro. I have previously seen the surgeon and he refused to cut on me, but my latest MRI shows that my herniation has gotten worse. I also have bad foot numbness in my right foot. I practice and…

gym etiquette?
so I was at the gym and the only exercise I had left to do was leg press. There was a woman on the machine, so I sat down close by and started stretching.

elliptical as jogging
I have an elliptical machine, but I don't think that it records calories burned correctly because I can't personalize, as in height and weight. It does keep track of miles, so would it be more accurate to record the work on the elliptical as jogging/running with the speed or would that b cheating in some way?

Something that I could maybe wear while sparring, or grappling, doing grabs and everything and…

eliptical workout?
I recently bought a shwinn elliptical that I really like. It was cheap and gives me a really good workout. :smile: The only problem is that the handlebars are at a weird angle where I feel like I have to lean too far forward to hold onto them. I was considering just wearing wrist weights and trying to balance without…

female martial artists...
Have you ever been in a situation like this? I sprained my ankle (phase 2 inversion sprain) 2 days before a world championships. It hurt really bad, but I wasn't about to miss it. I took pain meds, wrapped my ankle up tight, and got ready to go. Unfortunately, there were no other female blackbelts in my division to compete…

strength training
Why doesn't MFP give exercise calories for strength training? It only shows extra calories for cardio?

Forms
Any idea what you burn when practicing your forms? For example, when I do all the way from Chun-Gi to Gae-Beck it takes me almost an hour, and I am sweating, but I can't seem to find an estimate as to how many calories I burned. Should I just get a heart rate monitor? What do you put down when you practice your forms?
