Building muscle...eat more, run less?
I am not sure the right way to frame this question so forgive me if it sounds confusing. I will start with a little background. About 2 months ago I started my get fit journey. I have never been much above my ideal scale weight so that wasn't an issue. I did have a little more body fat than I liked and have forever been…

Spin App
Does any one know of an app for spinning? I just took my first spin class at a gym I am leaving soon and I would like to continue spinning. My new gym has spin bikes available for use but does not offer classes. An app that would tell me when to turn it up a notch, or when to stand/sit, etc would be great. I found one for…

The past few days there have been the most delicious brownies from a local cafe. They are fabulous! How do I know they are so…

HRM - Interval Training
I am looking for an HRM but am interested in finding one with a feature that will assist with interval training. Do any of the HRM's have a feature that is basically a timer I can set to beep at a certain interval (say every minute or 2 minutes, etc) so I know to run at one beep, jog at the next beep? I have been…

30 day shred and weight training
I have been wanting to try the 30 day shred but am a little hesitant because I don't know how to add it in with my weight training or if that is even advisable. Can I do the 30 day shred and still do weight training? I lift somewhat heavy but can't walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I am going to have a heart…
