Coconut oil
I keep hearing about how coconut oil is good for you, but I dont really understand what types of stuff you can use it for...anyone have any ideas?!
C25K question...
So I just completed my first week of of the C25k plan, but my left knee is starting to hurt...Im not sure if I should keep running or what. This seems to always happen when I start really commiting to a work out. Maybe its because I weigh 215? Anyways this really sucks Ive been looking forward to running for the first time…
Jeanette Jenkins work out videos?
Has anyone ever done any work out videos by Jeanette Jenkins? I really want to get a work out video for kickboxing and came across one by her, but Im not sure Ive never heard of her before..
HRM question, again. hah
Hey I just got my HRM a few weeks ago and was wondering, why do you have to get the chest strap wet? And is it okay if I put the chest strap on 30mins/an hour before I work out? I usually put it on at home then drive to a trail to hike on or whatever and am not sure if it needs to get wet right before I used it or what...
So I was just reading Health magazine
And I was so excited because there was a story in there about how this lady lost weight, and it said she used myfitnesspal.com to track calories. I was so excited I told my boyfriend but he didnt seem to really care but anyways I thought it was cool. lol
HRM question..
can you wear your hrm just to track how many calories you burn walking? Just got mine yesterday, all I know is it will beep at my every 5 seconds if my heart rate isnt where it should be, so Im guessing walking with it will be REALLY annoying...

Question for those who use a heart rate monitor:
How many calories do you burn versus how many myfitnesspal says? I usually feel like myfitnesspal overestimates how many calories I burn.
HRM
Whats a good HRM to get?!
How do I log "Shred it With Weights"?
I mean its both cardio and weights, but I think its more lifting weights...tried logging it under stength training, as kettlebell but that didnt work...So do I just do circuit under cardio? Ugh! I really like this site but logging my workouts has become a pain in the butt!
What do I log 30 Day Shred as?
This is pissing me off! lol What do I log the 30 Day Shred as, I cant figure it out!
