| Fitness | Elliptical Confusion | Feb 23 2009 21:17 (UTC) |

I would suggest getting a heart monitor that counts your calories and stores the information about your workouts. I looove my Polar heart rate monitor. I use the elliptical also and my calories actually burned are always different from what the machine tells me. I usually burn MORE calories according to my heart monitor. I don't trust the accuracy of the machines. |

| Weight Loss | Remind me that working out is good for me.... | Feb 02 2009 19:54 (UTC) |

And hopefully we are all experiencing the mental health benefits of exercise. When I come home after a run or a good workout, my mood is lifted, I am excited to cook dinner and hang out with my husband, I am chatty and full of energy. I also sleep so much better when I am working out regularly. It helps to alleviate the day to day stress of life! |

| Fitness | Thinking about getting a personal trainer....any advice? | Jan 23 2009 13:25 (UTC) |

I have been working with a trainer at a small gym that is strictly for the trainers and their clients. I am not sure how the pay is structured, but I feel that because the focus is on personal training, the trainers have a lot of experience, and personal training is their only job function, that I am getting the most for my money. I can also use the gym when I am not with my trainer, it is never as crowded as the "big" gyms, and the staff really takes pride in the facilities and everything is always clean. I have seen great results and am always challenged. Do it!! |

A suggestion for running...I was not a runner until about 6 months ago. I hated it and always got the side cramp or was gasping for air. I did this program called "Couch to 5K" and now I can run 5K with no problems. Just google "Couch to 5K". It gives you week by week workouts. I had to repeat a few weeks, so don't get discouraged if you can't move to the next week when you are supposed to. It sounds like you are really into goal setting - and this plan helps you set goals. Good luck! |
