Lifting Question....
When people say things like "Lift Heavy" for results...what does "heavy" actually mean? Is it using 10 lb. dumbbells? Is that considered heavy? Or is 30 lbs. considered heavy?? I'm not talking about machines at the gym...I'm just talking about in home lifting dumbbells. Right now, I'm currently comfortable at 10 lbs. doing…

Another MFP member inspired me to post this....
For those of you who are confused about the topic of "muscle weighing MORE than fat".... Muscle Does Not Weigh More Than Fat (five pounds is five pounds), but it is Much Nicer to Look at As you can see, the 5 lbs. of fat is much bulkier than the 5 lbs. of muscle, but five pounds is still five pounds. Muscle does not weigh…

HRM Question (kinda)...
(I originally posted this in the P90 thread, but also wanted others opinions)... Well my husband and I are on on day 52 of P90! We started 3-4 series just last week. Just yesterday, I received my new HRM (I bought a Polar FT4) and was sooooo excited to use it so I can get an accurate "calories burned" reading for myself…

Difference between Polar F4 and Polar FT4???
Does anyone know the difference between these two HRM's??? I know that the FT4 replaced the F4, but they still have a few in stock on Amazon.com and are only $60.00... I was just curious what the differences are and if they are significant??

I hate that!!!!!

Jillian Michaels recent FB post (part 2)
smart tip: Nobody is perfect, so get over the fear of being or doing everything perfectly. Besides perfect is boring. You’re perfect with all your imperfections. So today, instead of picking yourself apart in the mirror or with friends over drinks start seeing your "imperfections" as unique traits that give you character…

Scoops13...You are a genius!!!! A twist on the frozen PB cu
