My brother is working out every night and he feels great. So, he's motivated me to get my butt moving. I also got my fitness newsletter this morning which suggested that I make an exercise schedule with goals. So here goes.

Looking for and suggestions anyone wants to give.I want to make sure I am heading into this right...

I wanted to do my elliptical for 15-20min (days/wk?) to start.And probably toning about 2-3 days a week.

Any ideas on how many days I should do cardio for a week? And as far as adding another supplement...when should I take it?

630a-7a up and exercise (if not doing toning in same day)

I am going to call my HA, but I really would like some advice here, too -- especially from experienced working-outters (but I am not picky, I will take it from anybody who can help). For some reason this is an area that has *always* easily overwhelmed me while I have been on MF and it's the main reason I have stayed away from excercising while MFing.

I guess I am paranoid about it making ...

My Christmas present and Way to Go present for myself now that I am down almost 45 pounds is to get a personal trainer. I have a consult with them on Monday. I have never excercised much - did Curves for about a year and also used to walk. I was wondering if anyone had advice on working with a trainer, how often to go as a newbie, anything special to consider with excercising on ...

Does anyone have/use this?

Our friends have it and we are thinking of getting one so I thought I would ask.

Okay, I've had an eventful weekend.

I got my new TV installed, so my old tv & DVD/VCR went up into my new "workout room". As I put this room together, I'm embarassed to be out of shop considering the plethora of equipment now gathered in this room (including a fluidity bar/DVD's I still can't figure out how to get together!)

Here's the good news...my JP Pilates performer has plenty of room to hang out ...

Ok, here is my plan:

I know there are numerous threads about adding another shake, etc when incorporating exercise in with MF.

My question is this:

My trainer said for my workouts, I need to eat 1200 calories a day. I told him about MF but he said that thats too low of a calorie count for what I do.

I was thinking about eating 1100-1200 calories a day but all MF shakes, food, etc. I know its alot but ...

I have a 4 mile path that I've been walking and I would like to know what my speed is, but I can't figure it out. Yesterday, I walked my 4 miles in 46 minutes so I set up a ration/proportion problem like ...

4 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 46 minutes

but the answer I got was like 3. I know that if I walk the path in 1 hour then ...
