I just started using a heart rate monitor and although I love being about to see the calories burned and the exact duration of my workouts, I'm a little confused on if I should be working in the fat burn zone or the fitness zone. Of course I would like to burn fat but I don't feel like I'm...

Hello, I need some new cardio dvd's. I've been doing Imax 2 and 3 for awhile and now I find that all my other dvd's seem too easy....including Rythmic Step. Maybe it's that high intensity rush that I'm hooked on or the fact that they are not add on style, which I get bored with after I...

I was just wondering if anybody has one and if you think it's worth the money? I would love to know how many calories I burn in a day and at a given activity but don't want to spend that much. I can't seem to find a cheaper version without a chest strap, which I find very uncomfortable...

Okay, so my shoulders and back are finally getting some great definition but unfortunately so are my traps :mad: How in the world do I avoid working them? When I look in the mirror and extend my arms out to the side they look huge...uggggg!! They are engaged in so many different exercises...

I need some shoe advice. I have the Ryka N-Gage studio shoes and they are probably the most comfortable shoes that I've ever owned. The problem is that after just 2 months, they are falling apart. The rubber on the bottom is coming off. I'm really disappointed because they are so...

I have an older Tanita scale but I'm hoping it's not accurate because it's telling me that I'm 41% body fat! Could this be right? I'm 5'6", 178 pounds, size 12...if that helps. I've been working hard and have gained muscle especially in my shoulders, back, hamstrings, and quads. But could I...

I have a Reebok step so I'm limited on how high I can raise it up. Will I need a high step for STS? I've been debating about either getting a High Step or getting the Original Health Club Step with extra risers. I actually have 2 Reebok steps. I could always put one on ebay to help with the...

Okay, heres the deal. I was working out with my neighbor...she is also my best friend. We were using her air conditioned garage. We are both in our mid 30's. I have 2 children and she has a one year old baby. It's not easy on her with the baby so I worked around her schedule. If she was...

I thought I was pretty good at step until I tried this one. I love the music and looks like it will be fun once I get it down. The problem I'm having with it is that the music is so loud that it makes it hard to hear what she is saying. I've tried every sound setting available on my tv but it...

Are there any other sweaters out there? It's a good thing that I workout at home because I would be very embarrassed to literally be dripping wet in a gym. I'm not sure if this is normal. I do exercise in my garage but it could be winter and I still sweat (and steam LOL) It only seems to be...

The smoke in the air is unreal! It's been like this for days. It smells as though the fire is right in my back yard. I've been fighting a headache for 3 days :( I have no choice but to keep exercising in my garage but man I was feeling it in my chest today. Oh what I would do for a breath...

I have never order shoes online but I can't find the Ryka N-Gage shoes in a store. Can someone tell me how the size on these shoes run? Also can you suggest a safe online shoe store. I'm in desperate need of new shoes! Thanks a bunch!

Last week, after doing GSL, I started having pain on the outside of my knee. I've never had a problem with my knees before so this is new to me. It still hurts today but only when I fully extend my leg out (feel a pop) or when I squat. The pain is not so bad that I can't exercise....yet...

or smutt books as my husband calls them. I haven't read a good book in ages. I get half way though one, get bored and stop reading it. I don't know if I've read all the good ones or what. Any other smutt readers out there LOL? Read anything good lately? Favorite Author? Books? Thanks

I've been substituting with dumbells so far but have decided it's time buy a barbell and some weights. Okay, so educate me. What should I look for? Length, weight of bar?? Where to purchase?? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Equipment is a big investment and I want to make a wise...

I have a question. If working out at 6:30 p.m., is it better to eat dinner before or after? I can have dinner done and eat by 5:30 and don't have a problem with cramps or digestion. But as I get more into strenght training, I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing. I keep reading about how...
