Insanity - how much do you burn with HRM
My HRM has me around 320 calories for normal Plyo Circuit and Cardio Power and Resistance days. On another board people mentioned that is way too low and I should check my HRM. So now I am curious. What does your HRM say? Also include height and weight if you don't mind. I am 5'2 and 155.

What to do with Chia seeds?
I add them to my protein shakes in the morning, but it just feels like I am chewing them. I tried making a chia pudding with almond milk and stevia and I am not a big fan of the texture. What else can I do with these? I feel like I should stick with my ground flax seed because I can't really taste that. Just wondering what…

Losing body fat, need tips
I am trying to get leaner. I couldn't care what the scale says, but I want my BF% to lower. Right now I am at about 27%. I workout about 5-6 times a week doing Insanity, but haven't continued my weights this past week. I know my diet is my main concentration. Would love some critiques or ideas. I tend to eat the same thing…

Insanity friends wanted
Starting Insanity on Monday and looking for people who have been through or currently doing it. Some one to laugh at me when I post that I puked from it and someone to tell me to shut the hell up when the scale goes up from this and my weight training. Also some encouragement would be nice every once in a while. If you…

Scrambled eggs in the microwave?
Some days I want a change from my usual breakfast and I usually go to the deli downstairs and get an eggwhite and cheese sandwich on a skinny bagel. A co-worker said that she made her own at work by putting eggs in the microwave. I kind of made an eww face, but now I am intrigued. If you do this, how much difference is…

Strength training - how long does it take you?
I do strength training 4 days a week alternating upper and lower. I can usually knock it out in 20-25 min with no more than a 30-45 sec rest between reps. I have some friends that spend about an hour on weights. Time means nothing to me as long as my training program for the day is complete. How long does it take you to…

Krav maga anyone?
The mma gym by my house just started doing a krav maga class. I have always wanted to do this, but never had a location near me that had it. I have never done any type of martial arts before. I am wondering what to expect. The location seems to be pretty male dominated and I don't see a lot of beginners here. I am trying…

Favorite circuit workouts...
What is your favorite circuit workout? I figured this would be a great way to get some new ideas. At home I will mix burpees, T-pushups, plie lunges, bicep curl squats, and arm dumbbell swings with squats. I have no idea what the proper names of some of these are, so feel free to ask if you don't understand what I am…

Looking for AM workout people...
I workout in the AM around 545 or 6. Looking for other people that find the willpower to get up early and fight the urge to sleep in. The time between waking up and starting my workout is the worst part of my day, but my AM workout days are always my best. Any other AM exercise people? Add me as a friend so we can have…

Calories for juicing?
For those that add fresh juice to their diet. Is there a way to enter this or do you just add the ingredients seperately (ie green apple, pear, kale, etc)? I do a juice for breakfast and then sometimes a green juice for an afternoon snack and want to make sure I am calculating it correctly. Thanks!!

New here and people recommended joining the community to find "friends" to help out on the becoming healthy journey. I'm 29, weigh 156, normal weight range is 135. A year ago I did the Tough Mudder and was in good shape, then let work take over my life and workouts became less and less often. So now the goal is to get back…
