He…

QUICK NROLFW QUESTION
I'm in Stage 2 where 15 minutes of Interval Training is added. Do you do the interval tr only after Workout B or after Both workouts? I did A today and didn't do the intervals but got on a rowing machine for the first time which was interesting.....
-
YOUR OPINIONS PLEASE.....
I've been reviewing my Exercise logs and am seeing a downward trend in my exercise days. When I compare the missed workouts to my "calendar" I'm seeing that "life" seems to be getting in the way of my good intentions. Over the summer I've been quite busy with vacation and taking care of my parents (dr's appts) and my…

I MUST SHARE THIS
There's a guy "Tony" on the General Thread who is calling himself a Dietician (with credentials AND a following) who is volunteering his time to dispense free nutrition advice on MFP. :devil: So, OK, I bit and started reading through the 10+ pages of his thread. (fortunately it was mostly "bumps") It was all going pretty…

Scooby site
Just wondering which "research model" everyone uses when figuring out your numbers on this site.....the default is "Mifflin---"~ is that the one? I'm seeing some posts with multiple answers to BMR & TDEE questions and all using the Scooby site. Shouldn't we ALL use the same model?

NROL "training session"
I am officially ready to ROCK N ROLL!!! I met with this "youngin' trainer" and the look on his face when I presented him my book and list of questions was priceless! He was very patient and gave me a LOT of good tips and modifications. (He kept saying that I "resembled" his Mom, who he trains, and showed me the…

WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THIS.....
On my home page where the "popular posts/threads" are listed, there is one about 'Snacks after donating Blood". It had that certain "train-wreck" quality that I just couldn't resist and HAD to check it out. Yep, on the Food and Nutrition board they are dissecting the quality, quantity, nutritional value of the snacks given…

SHOCKING NSV!
I NEVER in a million years would have thought that undereating would have an effect on this: During my recent showers when I wash my hair, I noticed that there are NO hairs on my hands when I run them through my hair!! In the past, I would have a LOT of strands on my hands! I have been complaining about this to my doctors…

FAT 2 FIT RADIO CALCULATIONS
I'm looking for some help from those of you that are "good with numbers" about these results that I got~ In looking for my BMR and entering the information, I'm given my current BMR and a chart that reflects my BMR at my "goal weight" and there's where things get a little confusing. So here goes: Age: 51 (female) Weight:…

ANYONE DO JMs NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES?
Today was my first day and OMG~ my butt was kicked!!!:noway: AND my new HRM told me I accurately burned 247 calories:tongue:

SO, I GOT MY HRM AND.......
WHAT A SHOCK~ I have been WAAAAAY OVERestimating my calories burned!!! For JMs 30 Day shred, a "calorie calculator" gave me 323 cals burned. ACTUAL (on HRM) 164!! For JMs Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism (that kicks my butt)~ Calculator over 500. HRM~ 244!!! I will get over my bruised ego and am grateful for the "reality check"…
-
HRM ADVICE PLEASE
I am thinking of getting one for the purpose of accurately measuring my calories burned and getting an idea of where I am fitness-wise. I've been on the Polar site and I THINK I understand the principles of them but still have questions. Q: Are you wearing just a "watch" or are there other things to attach to yourself? (I…

AMAZING!
I am amazed at myself: I completed Jillian's 30 Day Shred and have been doing Ripped in 30, both of them being 25 minute workouts. For some reason today, I decided to try Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism~ which is 45 minutes~ and DID IT!! The whole stinkin' thing!!! I can't believe it!!
