How often do you rest?

How often do you guys rest? Yesterday I woke up feeling like I got hit by a bus after my totalgym workout Saturday and a very long walk Sunday.…

Sportline 630 HRM HELP PLEASE
Hey guys, I have the Sportline 630 HRM and I can't seem to get it to work. Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. I followed the manual in setting it up, and YES it is coded properly. When I put on the chest strap and I hit the "heart rate button" on the watch, the little heart beats but doesn't ever give me a reading. Can…

Need a laugh?
So, a few days ago I had a man over to do some work. He was upstairs working and we were chatting. He got a call on his cell phone, and took it (while on speaker phone). I wasn’t really paying attention, but someone said something about an ounce. When he got off the phone, he told me that was his part-time job. I asked…

Is there anything wrong with buying a used hrm? I want to get one of the polar FT7, but I don't have the money to get a new one. Anyone see any issues with buying it used? Obviously I would disinfect it before use!

What size is sexy? MEN PLEASE!
Ok. So, my husband and I got into this debate this weekend after we went to the strip club. He thinks that women built like me are sexy (kinda nice, huh?!). I'm a size 12 with enormous hips, thunder thighs, and 38DD. He seemed to think that the stripper that he though was doing the most personal dances was close to my size…

Can't get HR down after HIIT
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to avoid it in the future? This is what I did on the Arc trainer: 0-10:00 Normal Pace Warm up 10:00-14:00 I did 20 seconds of sprint, 10 seconds of normal pace 14:00-18:00 Cool down And from that point on, I didn't feel well at all, so I went to the locker room and…

Workout every day for a month
Yesterday, I made it my goal to workout every single day for a month (until March 25th). I want to get down to my first goal weight by Easter, and look fab when I see family. I will go to the gym on nights hubby works late, and every other day just do a workout at home. Also, no booze for me until Easter! Who's with me?!…

Diameter/Finish
I'm going to be getting an xpole as soon as my hubby and I move (in about 2 months). I def. want an xpole, but I'm not really sure what diameter and finish to get. Could you guys tell me what you have/use and what your thoughts are about it? I have only used the 45 mm and I think it was the brass finish but most of the…

Ok. So my hubby and I have started the Stronglifts program (we go again tonight for our second time, so excited!) and I think we are also going to start some high intensity interval training 2-3 days on the off days of our lifting to really kick it into gear. Thoughts? Anyone else doing HIIT with a weight program? What are…

What do you do when you feel like crap?
Ok, so I definitely ate WAY too much yesterday and the day before, and now I'm all bloated and gasy, and feel terrible! So, tell me, what do you guys do to feel better and get back on track? Cleanse, enema, what? Thanks!

Lifting heavy help!
Hey guys, I have been hearing all this talk about lifting heavy and have learned that it helps give that long, lean look that everyone is striving for, with the high calorie burn. Now that I am getting much closer to my first goal weight, I want to get on a heavy lifting program. That's where YOU come in! First of all,…

Grips, climbing, basics
Hey guys! I love to do different pole dancing classes on the weekends, but I have some questions. 1. Do/did your forearms get really sore when you first began? Did that go away? 2. I am really terrible at climbing, actually can't do it at all! Which muscle group do you suggest to strengthen to be able to climb? 3. Did you…

Pooping
Since I started eating better, I only poop about once every 2 or 3 days...Before, I pooped several times a day...Do you guys weigh yourselves on days you don't poop, and if you do, do you only count the days that you pooped (assuming that this number is your REAL weight loss?)? Basically, have you noticed any changes with…

Co-workers
It really makes me furious when people make excuses about not loosing weight. For example, yesterday someone brought in soft pretzels for everyone in the office and my co-worker said to me that he admired that I have the will power to eat my apple instead of a soft pretzel because he can't do it. First, it irritates me…

Yo Yo Dieting
I have lost weight and gained it back more times than I can count, and I always set out with the "Once I lose this weight, I'll be able to keep it off," mentality. I usually start out strong, and then revert back to old ways. I have done it so many times, I don't even think that I believe that I will actually get down to…

Workout Buddy
I live in the North Philly area and am looking for a workout partner. I have a bike and would like to find someone to ride with me, or go to planet fitness in Fishtown (I have a membership and could get you in for free if you don't have one). I do a lot of cardio type stuff since I have knee problems. It would be great to…
