5k Training thoughts
I finished Week 4 Workout 1 today. Transitioning from Week 2 to Week 3, was intense so I was nervous. I kind of feel like I went backwards this week. With all the walking. And I HATE HATEEEE free form. After googling, it looks like free form is a big part of zombie training. In the Active.com c25k, in week 4 they are…

So I am trying to help my fiance come up with a weight program. I've posted before, we have a small gym in town that doesn't have barbells, so we are trying to do a program with bodyweight and dumbbells and little machine if needed.

Dear Gamefly
Please send me Bioshock Infinite now, I have an empty slot and it says "Available Now" What do you have in your Q? We have Bioshock Infinite, Injustice and Dead Island Riptide. And it will stay that way until they send one. Everytime I add something else just because it's taking too long for them to send something, they…

Can I lift heavy without barbells??
I joined the only gym I have available to me today. (Small town lol) And learned that they don't have barbell type weights. They only have machines and then they also have dumbbells up to 50 lbs in pairs. Is it still doable. Anytime I see someone talking about heavy weights it's usually with barbells =/ Any advice? I'm…

Program for men without barbells?
We only have one gym available to us and it doesn't have barbells. It has dumbbells up to 50 pounds and then it has a bunch of various machines. We are going to start saving money so we can buy a bench and a barbell and start building our own set. But until then, is there a program my fiance can do without barbells? I…

I joined our small little gym in town so I could have more resources to start this program. My gym does not have barbell or plate weights. We only have machines and dumbbells. SO I have to make the most out of what I got until I can afford to invest in my own barbell and plates. Anyways, I've been through 30DS and 6 weeks…

Any runners with Osgood as a teen?
I'm starting week 4 of Zombies 5k today. The first 2 weeks went great. But then in week 3, I started in with a great deal of knee pain. It is fine while I'm running and during other workouts, it's the recovery time, the rest of the day it KILLS me in my left knee. It's not actually my KNEE but an area to the bottom and…

Starting Paleo tomorrow, few questions
Do I really HAVE TO give up all artificial sugars? I drink sooo much flavored water. I will give it up if necessary, but that will definitely be the hard part for me.... And I really want to continue doing my protein with pb2 after my runs, I know it's not really Paleo. Everything else I have no issues with. Just those 2…

Suggest me some Xbox360 titles!

One arm stronger than the other?
Is that normal? I'm not a serious heavy lifter or anything, but I deft would train that way if I had the availability to, but I live in a small town and don't have access to a gym. I started with 30DS with 3 lb dumbbells, and now I'm in my 4th week of Jillian's Body Revolution using 5lbs and 8lbs depending on the move.…

Is walking a waste of time?
My fiance told me tonight before he went to work he is ready to do something. He was doing Nike Kinect, but then somehow quit. He keeps saying he doesn't have time for it, but it's really just that he doesn't make time for it. But that's not the point lol. He feels like he needs to work up to it, I'll admit it can be…

Help understanding Bodymedia
Had mine for a little over a week and I"m a little confused on some things. Are you suppose to eat back any exercise calories at all with it? Do you do anything in MFP with your exercise or just let the Bodymedia handle it all? Bodymedia gave me 1510 calories to consume. And suggest a 1000 calorie deficit per day to lose 2…

Males who started with a belly/gut
As you lost weight, did you lose the gut? My fiance has a nice size belly and he is weary about becoming serious about losing weight because of it. He doesn't think he will lose the belly because "it's rock hard" I tried to tell him it's not muscle and that yes he would lose it if he wants to. He honestly feels like no…

Hard to replace a motherboard?
My computer went into a boot loop and I narrowed it down to the motherboard, processor or power supply. I decided to replace the motherboard/processor first (should be here Friday) and if it doesn't work I'll replace the power supply. What are the odds I will be able to walk myself through this without having to pay…

Do you do anything else with c25k?
I want to start this when it warms up, unfortunately I live in Wisconsin where our 2 seasons are "yesterday and today" so who knows when that will be. I've considered starting up TurboFire, Insanity or Body Revolution but I may not finish before it does warm up. So what are the odds I would be able to do both, or is that…

Moving Comfort
I"m so confused by their sizing chart!! My bust is 42 and my ribcage is 38. And the guide says they don't have any styles for me. When I click on the info button, it says that would make me a 42A. I've never in my LIFE been an A cup LOL so this can not be right. Last bra I bought was a 38DD. I think I may be down to a D or…

I just finished 30 Day Shred and I lost 16 inches total, YAY. But I do have a couple measurements where I gained. Mainly in the belly area.

Sports bras while losing
So I've been doublling up on cheapo Old Navy sports bras I got on sale. I have 85 lbs more to lose so I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy a better quality like Moving Comfort or keep doubling up. I am big chested. Around a 40DD. So I have a hard time justifying $50 if I'm just going to lose weight in this area and need a…

Anyone doing Shred with bodymedia?
Just curious, because I just did my first Shred session with it. It says I burned 209 calories and was moderate activity. I'm suppose to do 60 min of moderate and 30 min of vigorous. But I'm thinking if Shred is moderate then wtf do I have to do to get vigorous?!

For those with Bodymedia's
I just got my Link today. And I have a few questions. When I set it up before even wearing it, it showed a 2000 calorie burn. Why is this? Is this because of what it guessed my BMR at from initial algorithms? Also, I did 30 Day Shred with it on and it counted it as moderate activity which is fine, according to BMF macros I…

We just got one and bought a couple games I wanted, but my fiance is more of a FUN exercise type of guy. I bought Nike Plus training and another training game. He liked the Just Dance 3 demo in Best Buy, which is what motivated us to get the Kinect. What are your favorite dance games? There are like 5-6 Just Dance versions…
