Strange 'popping' feeling in legs after exercise
As long as I can remember, I’ve gotten strange 'popping' sensations in my legs after really strenuous exercise. It doesn't hurt and it goes away in about 20 mins. Just wondered if anyone else gets that... and if it's normal?? They feel like they're in the muscles, not the joints or knees.

Weight Question - What is going on here?
Background - Up until 3 weeks ago I was working out a lot everyday (Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred & Banish Fat Boost Metabolism every day).

Less fat more beneficial?
Is it beneficial to eat less fat than recommended in daily goal/totals? I know we need the good fats in our diets... and not all fat is bad; but does it do any good (or harm) to limit them even more?

Caffeine: Does it help or hinder your workouts?
I had a cup of caffeinated tea yesterday afternoon... then I noticed my afternoon workout was more sluggish than usual. Maybe it was due to the caffeine? Does caffeine help you with an energy boost... or does it hinder your workouts??

Burn off calories from yesterday?
I went over my calories and ate a big dessert last night... so I woke up early this morning and did high impact aerobics for an hour - I plan to do another hour this evening (when I usually do my workouts). Would my exercise count as burning off the calories I ate yesterday... or does my body 'reset' in the morning and the…

Yogurt, yes or no?
From what I have seen, most yogurt contains so much sugar… yet, so many people love it as a good-for-you food. I like to use Fage non-fat Greek yogurt sweetened with stevia and together with fruit… or I use it as a sandwich spread, plain. Even the flavored Fage yogurts have a lot of sugar. I’d love to hear some…

Wii Wii
Hello, My name is Molly and I'm new to the site. I am really embarrassed to go to a gym, I don't really have a clue what I'm doing... and I don't like the 'stares' from the more experienced exercisers. I have a hard time sticking to exercise so I decided I'm going to get a Wii + the Wii Zumba program and STICK TO IT. My…
