Post Knee Surgery
February 2nd I went in for a meniscus repair on my right knee. It turns out there was NO tear. What was found was degenerative cartridge buildup and arthritis. Since the surgery I've had lots of frustration. If I do too much walking or standing at work my knee swells up. I'm still not able to do much on my elliptical which…

Combat disappointment
I've read so many good thigs about Combat that I bought it. I've dont P90X and Insanity. My wife has done Turbo Fire and Chalene Extreme. Compared to those programs I was ....to be polite....disappointed with LM Combat. I was really suprised since I read so many positive things about it. I thought it seems poorly presented…

Polar FT7 is making me mad!!!!!
I guess the battery keeps dying. I'm constantly getting a "check transmitter" message during my workouts. I now have a collection of 3 straps and 3 transmitters that I've gone through. I guess it's time to try something different, something that works!!

Shakeology vs Green Smoothie
Can anyone tell me the difference? I'm guessing basic nutritional value and $$$ ? I know that Green Smoothies are pure and natural. I don't know much of anything about Shakeology or if it's any better than Smoothies. Comments?

Started taking Glucosamine
Just wondering what other people have experienced taking Glucosamine and or MSM ? I started taking both today. When I do my Power90 routine some of the moves kill me knee. Mainly jumping jacks. I have an alternate move for it now but I thought I'd try the Glucos and MSM. Would love to hear from those that use it. By the…

Difference in men and women for calories burned
I am 5-7 156 lbs. My wife is 5-3 139 lbs. I use a Polar FT7M and she used a Polar FT4F, both with chest straps. We did P90X Plyometrics together yesterday. I burned 598 calories and she burned 390. We both hit it hard but I'm wondering why her calories burned are so much lower ? Is that normal ? I'm actually wondering if…

Now, starting with the Power90 I…

Out of Energy
I moved up to Power90 3-4 two weeks ago. Honestly , I can't keep up with Tony (who can), but I'm doing my best. Over the last week I've noticed that I've lost my energy. Especially while doing push ups. I'm getting tired quicker and doing less than I was on my first week of Power 90 3-4. I seem to be just out of energy. My…

After Power 90........
I'm only half way through my 90 days doing Power 90. I'm considering next on going to the Power 90 Master Series or P90X. P90 Master Series seems to fit right in the middle. I was just hoping to get some feedback from those that have already made the transition. Thank you......

Tracking Calories....Elpitical readings vs Polar FT7M
I have an issue. I used my new Polar FT7M to compare the stats on the eliptical as to the HMR. The eliptical says I burned 400 calories and the HRM says I burned 350. I really like the 400 better ;) 50 calories is a difference. I just wish I new which was closer to accuracy. I'm sticking with 400 for now ;)
