Calories burnt while shivering for four hours? :P
I was at a protest today for four hours in the cold (I'm in Alberta, Canada) and wasn't really able to move (chained up) aside from jumping around to keep my feet from freezing up. I was shivering most of the time and am still warming up 2 hours later! I don't suppose I can skip a workout tonight, can I? Did I burn any…

What's my best course of action at this point?

Time spent strength training doesn't count as exercise time?
If I spend 45 minute doing strength training at the gym, then 20 mins on the elliptical, is there a way to log the 45 mins I spent lifting weights? And don't I burn calories while I'm lifting weights? I certainly feel like I do! It seems weird that only the time I spend during cardio counts towards my daily exercise goal.

Resistance Bands.... how many lbs of resistance?
Is there a way I can figure out how many lbs of resistance my Sportline Pilates Resistance Tubing offers? I bought them at Zellers. There are three bands. The lightest resistance is a green band, then grey, then the highest is black. The resistance tubing I saw at Sportcheck was 2lbs, 5lbs and 10lbs rather then light,…
