My hoop arrived!
I ordered a shiny new travel hoop from Hoopnotica (I had a great groupon deal for a hoop, carrying strap and 2 DVDs)! It arrived Saturday and I spent at least an hour hooping! Last night I watched one of the videos and am eager to give some of it a try today. It was very windy here yesterday so that doesn't lend itself to…

certified group fitness instructors, a question for you?
This only applies to those who are certified instructors? Who did you get accredited through and why did you choose them? I know there are a few options, ACE, AFAA, ASFA etc. I'm seriously considering becoming a group fitness instructor, focusing on step for now and was wondering what program to use. Thank you for your…

I made goal 20 lbs. lost with pics!
I started my journey on MFP the end of January this year at 145 lbs. The reality is I topped out at 159 lbs. a year before that and I'm only 5'4. We had recently moved away from friends and family and if truth be told I comfort ate to feel better about it. I rarely ate fruit even though I like most of them and veggies were…

Any fitness instructors?
I'm seriously considering becoming a group fitness instructor. I taught step aerobics many years ago, though I wasn't certified at the time. I want to do it again and perhaps do Zumba as well. The gym I attend now, wants me to be certified with either ACE, AFAA or NETO. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about…

I measured last night and found that I had indeed shrunk 2 cup sizes to a 34DD. HAPPY DANCE!! I took a trip to Victoria's Secret where she measured me…

I am considering taking the Zumba teacher certification workshop in a couple of months. I have taken a few classes one with a great teacher the other two..not so great. I have the DVD's as well and can follow them pretty well although I know I don't get all the hip movements in. My question is did you learn a lot from the…

Weight lifting calories?
MFP doesn't give you credit for calories burned while weight lifting and I have no idea how to judge what may be used during that time. Typically I do 30-60 minutes of cardio then weight lift for 30 min. then abs followed by stretching so another 15 min. That would make my exercise 75-115 min. total. I am trying to eat…
