I was always the chubby girl…

Personal Trainer in Anchorage, AK
I love my past trainer but he had to go and work in a resort....go figure...sand and sun vs snow and ice!

Has anyone worked with a trainer here in Anchorage that you can recommend?

Airplane Travel
I have been using the CORE since August and have had some terrific results. I have a question in regards to air travel. I know I am not to wear it on the plane and I was thinking that I would just take my MET rate during an average sitting period and multiply it by the hours I am on the plane and enter it as "off time".…

Double Check please
I am trying to calculate my BMR using my Bodymedia Fit Core. Basically I averaged the total calories burned from 12 am to 6 am for the week. That gave me a calorie burn of 462. I divided that by 6 hours, giving me 77. I then multiply 77 x 24 for a total of 1,848. Sound reasonable?

Alaska???
So I was thinking about getting a group together from the Anchorage area. Winter is soon upon us and it would be great to have a bunch of like minded people to keep each other motivated and active during the dark times. I know for me that the darkness keeps me more inside than the cold.

Sleep
Does anyone take off the device while sleeping. If I did, would it skew with the total burn for the day?

Sumo Squats...
Did my first sumo squats last night.....could not stop laughing through the whole thing. Probably why I could only do 3 sets of 5. :) It was difficult but I kinda enjoyed it. My glutes are telling me they know I did them today. :)
