Heart rate monitors are great for your runs, but what about a personal running coach right beside you? Men’s Health reviews the Adidas miCoach Pacer, a handy little gadget that may provide that solution.

I did some research and wanted a heart rate monitor that would calculate calories burned but also would give me speed and distance so when I’d go for runs, and didn’t already know mileage then I’d know. I went to Dicks sporting goods and they suggested Sportline Duo 1060, although it’s great does everything I want it to do and more, it’s confusing to use and don’t know truly know if the calorie (which reads in kc) or if the heart rate is accurate. I really need and want an accurate heart rate and calories burned monitor, I mainly do spinning and running for cardio. I’ve been also suggested Timex Ironmen Road or Race Trainer. Any suggestions??

How do I get back to normal?

I smoked pot a little over a month ago.. I got wicked high.. it lasted for almost a week. That scared the hell out of me because I was new to it.. I had gotten high once before that and I flipped out because I had no idea what was happening to me.. I think it gave me a panic attack. Well my mom recent time left me kinda weird.. I haven’t smoked in over a month and I don’t feel like I’m normal. Is it just that there is still THC in my system? I don’t have a drug test coming up or anything I just want to feel normal again. I’m about 105lbs, 5′5", female, and 16 years old.. I keep staying home from school randomly because I get these moments when I freak out.. I feel high randomly without even smoking.. but I also think it may be a panic attack. When this happens parts of my face go numb, I get tingly, I feel nauseous, I feel kinda out of mind/out of body, vertigo, stomach aches, heart rate increases, sometimes chest pains.. Right now I’m laying in bed watching things on Hulu all day. I recently started exercising again last week and the second day of exercising after I took a shower and went to bed, I was starting to fall asleep and I randomly like freaked out. My heart rate soared and I tried to calm myself down by breathing exercises which helped some, but then I got all the other symptoms back. This is starting to affect my everyday life.. I threw up last night and asked my boyfriend to go home because I didn’t feel good. I thought it would be easier to try and hide it, I haven’t told anyone, I’ve just been kinda distant figuring that I would go back to normal at some point and then I would continue on with my life. Can someone please help me? What can I do to feel better.. I don’t think I’m going to smoke again.. I guess some people just aren’t meant for it :/

Can I have some workout advice?

I’m a 28 year old woman. I weigh 210 pounds. I’m 5′4. I just had my second baby 3 months ago and am still breastfeeding. My target areas are my upper arms and my belly. I have a nice hourglass shape and everything is proportionate. Big chest, thinner waist, bigger butt and thighs. That’s just some opening info.

My question is about how I should be working out. I know my way vaguely around a gym. I’ve worked out before. But I guess I’m still what you call a beginner.

My biggest issue is that I don’t want to "bulk up" with muscle. I want to lose weight. At least till I’m at a reasonable weight and size. Then I might be interested in toning. All around I guess I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing. Or even what I’m asking here. I guess I’m worried that I will work out too hard and just turn into a female body builder. I’m shooting for a slim body, not a muscular one. But I want to burn this fat and fast! But is it possible to work out too much?

I have the energy to work out a lot. Maybe even twice a day, like an hour a day. I have had only mild soreness each morning, nothing that would stop me. So far I’ve just been doing it once a day, about an hour. I do a small bit of stretching. Just a few stretches of my legs and arms. I get on the eliptical trainer for 30 minutes. I move at a pace that gets me breathing hard and sweating a bit. The machine usually reads my heart rate to be in the cardiovascular workout zone. After that I use a few of the weight machines that target areas I’m most concerned with (abs and arms). I just do a few sets, enough to "feel the burn" but not to injure myself. Then I’m done.

I plan to switch up when I get bored. I can swim at my gym. I enjoy swimming and used to be on a swim team. I also have a Wii and I have the Wii Active fit personal trainer program. So I have a lot of resources available to me.

I’ve been watching what I eat, however, with me breastfeeding I have to "eat for two" or 300 extra calories a day. I have to eat to have a good milk supply and I’m hungry more because of it. Dieting is really a struggle for me, I’m an italian and I love to cook. But I’m doing my best to stay away from fried, fast, sugary foods. I honestly think that’s as good as I get with that. I’m awesome at getting in fruits, veggies and dairy. I love all food, I don’t discriminate. LOL! But any suggestions there would be accepted.

I’m looking for sound advice here from either trainers or people that are very fit. I looked online for any information but it all seemed very generic and not what I was looking for. I’m hoping to get some answers this way. Thanks ahead to anyone who replies!!! :)

Can you tell me if I’m out of shape?? ?

this is a heart rate question…

My max heart rate for my body size/female is 194 (or so the websites say). I purchased a hr monitor and wear it during my 60 spinning class. I believe I’ve calculated my resting hr to be around 62 but it is VERY easy to get my hr up. I have definitely gotten it up into the 190s during spinning class (it is rigorous though) but even walking into the gym, doing strength training, etc. gets it up a little too high I think. The last spinning class I took, I monitored the girl’s hr watch next to me and mine seemed to be consistently 20 beats ahead the entire class. If I were to have my hr at the bpm she had, I wouldn’t feel like I got a good workout.

I understand a way to determine whether or not you are in shape is to see how quickly your hr goes down after exercising…but are there other ways also? Am I just completely out of shape because my hr goes up very quickly?
Thanks for the responses – I’ve been taking this spinning class (which are 60 mins long) for several months now…consistently for a year, maybe taking (at most) 1 month off. The problem is that it is only 1 day a week and on average I would maybe do only one other day of cardio during the same week. So I guess taking this intense cardio class only once a week isnt really doing much?

My diet and fitness…..give me your advice!?

My diet consists of a lot of protein and complex carbs, very little sugar and no saturated fat. I cook with olive oil and that’s where most of my fat comes from.

Now, I’ve been monitoring my calorie loss by my heart rate monitor, and I just calculated that between March 9th and March 22nd, I’ve lost 9,023 calories.
I work out every day and the average calorie loss in one workout is about 650 calories.
My totally calorie intake is about 2000 a day. I use the LiveStrong.com food diary and calculator to figure it out.

Since I am going at it every day and losing many calories as you can see, is it really possible for me to drop significant weight from this point on?

I think I can.
But, based on my own calculations and food intake, what do you think?
Is 9,023 calorie loss a lot in that matter of time.

By the way, I don’t feel deprived whatsoever. I make sure I am never hungry and that I am comfortably full.
I also don’t eat past 6-7pm.
I drink about 64oz of water a day.
@Crazy Arab…WTF are you talking about I don’t respect my health??? I effing told you I eat about 2000 calories a day! If you can’t answer my question….then don’t answer my goddamn question…..loser..

*Let me start off by saying I do not have ADD, ADHD, or any variation of the two. I realize that the consumption of drugs, especially those not prescribed to an individual, is both irresponsible and potentially very dangerous. I would appreciate if those readers who feel the need to lecture me on the numerous hazards of ingesting Adderall without a prescription would refrain from doing so, as it has already happened. The purpose of this "question" is more so to tell about my experience and (hopefully) help someone with a similar experience as mine. That being said…*

I have taken Adderall in the past, perhaps 5 or 6 times over a course of 4 years, and have always felt the "expected" side effects of the drug, (increased heart rate, dry mouth, etc.). I’d typically take one 25mg XR pill, and then a 10mg or 15mg pill an hour or two later (depending on my workload).

Last week I took two 10mg pills in an effort to help myself study for exams. After about two hours (what I considered to be a generous time frame for them to kick in) I still felt nothing. I proceeded to take another two pills, knowing that I usually work best running on between 35-40mg.

About an hour later, I started to feel them. It was about that time that I began experiencing stomach pain, which was uncomfortable, but paled in comparison to the overwhelming headache I soon felt. I became very lightheaded, nauseated, and clammy. I began vomiting every half hour, for the next 4 hours.

Knowing this was obviously a reaction to the Adderall, I began searching the internet for signs of an overdose. I came across numerous websites (this one included) detailing some of the same symptoms I was experiencing. However, many of the signs that were on the sites, I didn’t have such as hallucinations, tremors, or chills. (It wasn’t until after calling Poison Control that I learned the characteristics of an overdose may or may not include all the listed signs.) Another problem I encountered was that the individuals asking the questions regarding the overdose had taken significant amounts more than I had. A lack of information regarding what I specifically was going through is why I am now answering my own question…

Basically, you can overdose on Adderall without experiencing all of the symptoms typically associated with one. If you’re feeling any combination of the signs, there’s a chance you’ve overdosed. Also, it doesn’t require taking 100’s of mg of Adderall to overdose; it can occur taking as little as 40mg- it’s all dependent on the individual, what they’ve eaten, other medications, etc.

I’ll say that although I was DEFINITELY scared because of my reaction, at no point did I feel that my life was in serious danger, or that I required immediate medical attention. Had this been the case I would have absolutely gone to the emergency room, despite knowing my parents would be FURIOUS. I’d rather have angry parents than be dead… I drank a lot of water to combat the dehydration and to try to flush what was left of the drug out of my system. I had several friends watching me to make sure I stayed coherent. I was lucky enough to feel "ok" after a few hours (ok is in quotes because, realistically, how great do you actually feel after an Adderall comedown…).

In any case, I learned my lesson in regards to using Adderall without a prescription. I really hope this helps anyone who may be going through what I did to be able to take a breather and know they’re going to be ok. I wish I’d read something like this while I was on the verge of panic. However, know that every person is different, and if you feel as though you are in trouble, please call 911 or Poison Control.

Ok, well first off, a little info: I’m a weightlifter, so I generally don’t do cardio (as in running, etc.), my idea of cardio is HITT or just doing dips until I can’t lift myself anymore :)

So anyhow, I was lifting Sunday and blew a blood vessel above my eye (80kilo triceps extensions will do that) =/ and so I think it’s best that I take a few days off (it’s swollen and red and sore, etc.) good idea right? Right :) However, I don’t want to stop going to the gym.

Today I went to the gym and did some light lifting (just 80kilo squats/deadlifts) then got on an eliptical (spelling?) machine…cranked it up to resistance 15 and ran for 35minutes. My heart rate was between 165-175 the whole time, sweating, drank a bottle of water, overall felt like a good workout…however I wasn’t breathing heavy.

I got off the machine, took 5minutes to cooldown, then was like "um…I’m not remotely tired" and I wanted to get back on the machine. However, I’ve heard that anything over 40minutes releases…cortisol? And you really stop burning fat and lose muscle instead…which is why I stopped at 35minutes.

Maybe because I take a lot of supplements (like creatine, l-carnosine, beta-alanine, etc.) for weightlifting my muscles recovered really quickly, because I wasn’t tired or sore, and now I’m back home and I feel bored.

My question (now that you’ve got all this info) is can I do cardio multiple times a day and not burn muscle? Will doing cardio for 30-35minutes then taking a break (however long…which is why i’m asking because I don’t know) then doing cardio again 30-35 minutes have the same fat burning effect, or am I going to start burning muscle?

I eat healthy, lots of protein, all my vitamins, I watch my calories, etc. so diet is 100% and I’m in great shape, I just don’t want to burn muscle…I could’ve stayed on that machine for 2 or 3 hours, but don’t want to lose muscle.

Any help is appreciated. I don’t mind doing cardio 3x a day (morning afternoon night) if it’s practical, I’ve got some fat I wouldn’t mind losing anyway while I heal up.

Thank you for reading all of this! I know I tend to talk a lot.

P.S. Spammers you’ll get reported, so don’t waste your time, or mine. =/
I might reduce the protein intake…thanks for the tip, but how about multiple cardio workouts per day? I think I’m only gonna take a week off from heavy lifting, but in the meantime I’m bored quite frankly
Eric I guess you didn’t read the question…also fiber is non-digestible, it doesn’t burn fat.

Please see what I asked before posting guys? I workout, I am not spot targeting, I’m not dieting…I hurt myself weightlifting and am doing cardio till I recover…but 35minutes is so short and boring and not tiring at all. Can I workout more?
