heartrate?
I see a lot mentioned about heart rates being like 150 160 during exercise. I take mine in the middle of zumba or dancing and I'm maybe at 125 and I'm pushing hard. When I was running same results. I had to push the bike to e max for 15 minutes just to get to 125 and it dropped the second I stopped. I do e spartan workout…

Homemade peanut butter
I have 2 bags of Spanish peanuts. I do not like peanuts, but I like peanut butter. (I know this makes no sense... But eh whatever) Does this type of peanut work for peanut butter? Anyone have a good sugar free recipe they wanna share? I've never done this before. Also..assuming the calories are the same regardless of if…

GPS run trackers
I need suggestions for an andriod ap that is good with inclines and switchbacks as well as normal flat hiking and running. I currently use runtastic and it sucks with switchbacks and calculating distance on inclines. It was off by 4 miles on my last big hike.

Creatine?
I realize this is not a scientific journal or source.. but for what it's worth.. http://www.inquisitr.com/1259772/new-creatine-research-suggests-ideal-times-to-take-the-supplement/ Yay? Nay? My understanding is this stuff is for bulking and timing does not matter?

Leg Day versus running
I currently run a 5K once a week and then try to run at least 2 miles two other times per week. I do compound lifting, agility drills and very basic beginner plyo. I also box and take zumba and combat classes for fun. Do I need to workout legs separately or is the running and compound lifts (which include squats and…

If you wear a body bugg
and the strap breaks. Email the customer service and they will replace it free of charge. The plastic part keeps breaking on mine and they said "this is an issue we are tracking" so it must be fairly common. I've only had mine for about a month each time before it breaks and I follow the use instructions to the tee. I have…

Re: Caloric intake and metabolism
Ok.. So if you've messed up your metabolism, can you fix it? If just about every calculator out there says the BMR is 1600, should a person continue to eat at 1600 even if a body bugg is suggesting you eat less? Will the body eventually adjust itself to a healthy level of caloric intake or will the person forever have to…

15% protein minimum to keep hunger at bay?
I heard this on the radio today.. I didn't catch the name of the study the DJ was reading but he said Your brain needs a minimum of 15% of your calorie intake in order to stop the hunger signals. If you do not eat at least 15% your brain goes into self preservation mode and send outs signals to eat more. A good example is…

Christmas giving..
Christmas is a time of giving. Truthfully we should give all year, but the holidays really brings it out. What do you give to others? What do you do that makes other smile and brightens their day?

1 year from woah to wow!
My story is long and honest and true and I've written it out before. Cliff notes below. 1 year ago right around this time I was fat sick and miserable. Only I didn't know it. Funny how you can look in a mirror every day and not see it. My wake up call was last Thanksgiving weekend, when I fell out of bed and was unable to…

Tdee calorie question.
I've got a body bugg. On that site I recorded my activity level as "very active" it gives me a target TDEE of 2600. Most days I exceed this.. going as high as 3500, although most days are around 2800 2900. What do you think a *realistic* calorie goal is for me.. with mostly clean eating and knowing that I struggle with…

I ate: 1835 My body bugg says I burned: 2435 yesterday but will probably go up slightly when…

Food intake, TDEE, Exercise and the body bugg..
Got a body bugg core. Yesterday I did not exercise outside of my daily lunch time walk. My body bugg recorded total calorie burned from 12am-11:59pm as 3062. (which includes hours sleeping) So is this my TDEE? Today I am planning on some exercise. Probably Zumba and some lifting. At least 1 or the other if not both,…

Lifting/exercise routing advice please.
Ok.. I think I need some kind of weight program to follow so I'm not just hap haphazardly doing different exercises at the gym. I'm not sure exactly what I need to do but below is an example of what I did this weekend. I alternate muscle groups focus but do the lifting like a circuit. I almost never do chest or leg focused…

What's low numbers
So I read a lot about people saying they eat low carb/low fat/low sugar etc.. My question is this.. what is low carb intake? Low sugar intake? Low fat intake? etc... Is there a magic number? Am I low carb if I eat less the 150 on a typical day? Are these numbers just made up??? I just always go by the percentage of total…

5 diet myths
It’s one thing to feel disappointed that you’re lugging around a few extra pounds when you know you've been a little lax with your eating or exercise. But religiously following diet rules and not making progress (or, worse yet, gaining weight) is infuriating and depressing. If you’re watching your weight and not getting…

I finally figured out how to post pictures :) So I wanted to post my story. I have about 20 lbs give or take to go, but if it takes me another year I will get there... Last August I was unable to run, playing any sport was out of the question. Stairs winded me. I was not healthy, not happy and headed down a path of medical…
