    STS Legs calories

    For those of you with a heart rate monitor that tracks calories, are the calories listed in Workout Manager acurate? It seems like the leg workouts should burn way more than 270 calories, considering the amount of cardio involved. I wear a heart rate monitor, but it does not track calories. I am...

    cottage cheese

    I put cottage cheese, a little bit of cream cheese and fruit (or cocco powder with vanilla) in a food processor.

    Honestly the reason I asked was because one of my clients is taking them. I have done a little research about them, but I was just curious to know what "real people" think. This guy is so obsessed with weight loss, I have rarely even seen a woman this bad. He will run 2-3 times a day for...

    Creative circuit training ideas needed...

    I just took over a weight class at the gym, and I am trying to transition the class to circuit style training where I would set up seperate stations.
