I bought four sessions with a personal trainer - what to expect?
I am not a newbie to gym memberships and working out so I was not scammed into buying these sessions. I truly wanted some one on one training to help me get started back on the right track and to have some accountability. I will be going in once a week with the trainer and plan to do two more workouts on my own per week.…

Eating after a evening workout
I'm having to start working out in the evenings starting today because my husband got a new job working days instead of evenings. Before, I would go do my workout mid-morning and then eat lunch right afterwards. I'm pretty hungry when I'm done with any workout and since starting the C25K program, I've been burning between…

First workout w/ HRM - high calorie burn; is it accurate?
I just got the Sportline Duo 560 Heart Rate Monitor that comes with a chest strap and everything. I set all my information in it (age, weight, gender and height) and today I did my first workout with it. It has a formula that automatically figures out my max HR and all my different zones of heart rates. So I did my workout…

Adding to my C25K workouts
I'm about to be done with my first round of c25k and then I'm doing it all over again for speed (jog/sprint instead of walk/jog). I feel like I need to do more than just run on those days so I'm wondering what a good strength training routine would be to do on my running days... arms? I've hit a slump. I'm working out 5…

P90X or Turbofire
I'm trying to decide which one I want to get. Turbofire appeals to me because I have Turbo Jam and love it. P90X appeals to me because of the muscle building it seems to do, and the fact that I think my husband would do it with me. The only problem is that P90X seems SO far above my ability right now. I feel like I would…

New and need help! Prone Jacknife...ugh!
I just started the program here at home to get the feel of each exercise before hitting the gym with it. I wasn't able to do the step-up because I don't have anything to step up on but I was able to do all the rest of the exercise EXCEPT the prone jacknife! I kept falling off the ball and I couldn't even get my positioning…

New Rules of Lifting for Women - what's your experience?
I just bought the book yesterday at Half-Priced books and really want to try this. I'm done worrying about the number on the scale and want to focus more on losing inches and seeing my body look better, even if my weight doesn't go down too much. I would like to hear from any women who have done this and had success or…

Heart rate monitor: worth the money?
I'm wondering if it's worth the money to buy a heart rate monitor to track my calories burned during my DVD workouts and such. I always feel like the calories it gives me on here are WAY more than I probably burned. Are all heart monitors also calorie counters? I really want to get my numbers as close to correct as…

Your favorite running music
Hey, I thought it would be cool to share what music is your favorite to listen to while doing your C25K running. I've listened to a lot of different stuff but my favorite that gets me pumped the most is actually an instrumental group called Bond. It's four girls who play violins but the music is pretty jamming and…
