Local Workouts
Hi Bramptonites! So what is everyone doing around Brampton in terms of workouts? I've been dancing with a great instructor for a year and a half now :) She started off as a Zumba instructor and moved onto her own thing called Fuzion (Zumba-on-steroids). She teaches two classes a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays 7pm. Tuesdays…

X-Box Exercise Games - Which is Best?
Hi Folks, I have an Xbox 360 with Kinect and I'd like to try adding a workout "game" to my exercise routine. Any suggestions? I have Just Dance and I like the dance games, but I'm looking for more than just dancing since I do that in a class on a regular basis as well. Thanks in advance!

So I Hear "Weight Training" is kinda Important :D
Hello Fellow MFPers! I'm in a bit of a bind :) I've been getting the message - Weight Training Helps - and it's sinking in! It makes sense and if I'm honest with myself, when I lost weight 10+ years ago I was an active member of a gym lifting weights. So here's my problem, ZERO time. I know I know, some of you are shaking…

Fat Burning Zone Question
Hey people! So I got a HRM for Christmas - thanks hubby! It's pretty cool. I thought it would help by giving me a more accurate count of calories burned - especially when I'm doing my Zumba-on-steroids Fuzion class :D Then I read a post on here and got myself all confused - what else is new ;) So here's my question, if I'm…

Survivor Watchers???
Any Survivor watchers out there? Are you a die hard? First season? I've been watching Survivor since it started. There were a few seasons, mostly when I was popping out babies - that I didn't see EVERY episode, but I've seen a LOT. I'm LOVING this season! I got sucked back in hardcore last season thanks to Russel H and…

Can We Talk Chia Seeds?
I've been hearing about Chia Seeds a bit lately. I've gotten on the bandwagon with spaghetti squash and quinoa thanks to this site so I have to ask... What are Chia Seeds? Where can you get them? Are they a lot of calories? How do you prepare them to eat? Thanks in advance!

Sketchers Shape Ups - Any Reviews?
I saw these shoes, Sketchers Shape - Ups at my local sports store and I was wondering if anyone had any personal experience wearing these things. A lot of my exercise comes from walking and I need new running shoes. Thanks in advance!

Please help me define "Breakfast"
Another post got me thinking about my metabolism and I have a question, when SHOULD breakfast be eaten? I get myself up at 6:20-6:40am (love that SNOOZE button!). I get myself ready and then wake my two girls, 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and get them ready. I'm out the door at 7:30am. That first hour, I have NO desire to eat. Between…

So What's The Deal With Salt?
I consider myself lucky, I have NO sugar issues! I can watch people eat cake in front of me and it doesn't bother me one bit. I've NEVER liked pop (or soda as you Americans call it). Chocolate? Who needs it! Now salt....THERE's a problem for me. I have curbed my chip issues the last time I successfully lost weight and…

Attention All Worker Bee's! Need "Make Ahead" Dinner Ideas!
So one of my biggest challenges is the evening. I'm a working mom with two very small girls (1 1/2 and 3 1/2) and I get home fairly late in the evening (6pm). Every day I'm left scrambling to cook something really quick because they have to be fed right away. Cooking on the fly for me usually means opening a can of…
