Confusing HRM
So for Christmas I got a heart rate monitor. I asked for this so I could be more accurate in finding out how many calories I burn during my workout. I was reading directions and it seems this heart rate monitor figures in your BMR. So I am assuming you are supposed to wear this hrm all day? If that is the case could I just…

New Years Challenge
So I just finished a challenge hosted by inskydiamonds. I really enjoyed being in the challenge and I thought it would be interesting to host my own.

Starting 30 Shred tomorrow!
I am starting the 30 day shred video tomorrow and I was just wondering is this video really meant to be done 30 consecutive days?

Hardest part of 30ds?
I just finished day one of the thirty day shred.I had a really hard time with some of the exercises. I know a lot of people on here are also doing 30ds.

Finally keeping myself on track
I've had this account for a while but I have just recently started logging my intake and exercise consistently. Since the month of November I have gained a little over 23 pounds and it was really devastating to me. I just felt like that 23 pounds put me a lifetime away from my goal weight. I went weeks crying every time I…
