I am looking at buying an Ipod Touch, but don’t know if I should go with the 8g or 16g (32g is out of my price range). I want to be able to listen to music, play some of the games they advertise, and have a calendar. I would also like to maybe use some other apps they have like the pedometer.
The 16g is a little more than I would like to spend, but I would spend it if the 8g wouldn’t give me enough room for what I want to do.
Also, does anyone know if Ipods are usually on sale for super special prices the day after Thanksgiving?
Thanks for you help!
Sorry for being longwinded but I have to fully explain what going on to get an answer.
Now I’m not new to working out and exercise I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 years now and all I seem able to do is to hold my current weight and when I give up I put on another 20lbs or so.
I weight 240 lbs and I have been on an intense workout regiment for the last 3 weeks. I have been working out for months but just started this regiment 3 weeks ago.
I go to the gym and train on the elliptical for 1 hour 5 to 7 times a week. I have done no less than 5 times a week. The elliptical allow me to put in my weight and age. So even though I know it’s not 100% accurate about how many calories I burn but I know it’s somewhat close. I after 1 hour and a pretty high resistance I burn 1,000+ calories every time I step foot on the machine. I also wear a heart rate monitor with chest strap and I’m careful not to train too hard or too little I keep my heart rate around 160 to 170 rpm for the full hour. I do other things in the gym as well. I’m trying to rehab shin splints that popped up when I tried to run while being too fat. Had physical therapy for weeks nothing is working, but that another story. I also have a job where I’m up and about around 90% of the day. I where a pedometer and I usually clock 10,000-12,000 steps before I leave work and if I wear it to the gym I clock 20,000+ steps for the day. My workouts are so intense I lose about 1.2 to 1.5 pounds of sweat during the workout. I weigh before and after on a very accurate scale.
I’m eating about 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day.
An average day:
7:00am breakfast trail mix- nuts, granola, dried cranberries and raisins.
9:00am light yogurt-70 calories
11:30am turkey sandwich whole wheat no mayo and fruit
4:00pm- granola bar and fruit
6:00pm chicken breast and veggies (never any carbs for dinner)
I drink about a gallon a water a day.
From what I understand my basil metabolic rate(calories burned while being alive for 24 hours) is about 10 for calories for every pound I weigh. So for me is about 2,400 calories burned just for being alive.
So here the math:
(food intate)- (metabolic rate)= -400 (calorie deficit)+-1000 = -1,400 deficit almost daily not counting what I burn at work.
2,000 –2,400= -400+ -1000= -1400
Why am I not losing weight is 3 weeks too soon to expect results from this? What am I doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is doing 2 hrs of cardio and a hour of weight lifting a day, but my wife already thinks I’m in the gym too much and still have nothing to show for it please help. I actually gained 4.4 pounds since I started all of this. Again I’m getting to the point that I want to give up but I know I will be 260lbs if I let up on it. Also I’ve been to the doctor and they said my thyroid tested fine.
I am 5′4 and about 155 lbs, female and 20 years old. I am taking Acai vitamins and Alli. I want to loose around 15-20 lbs. I do yoga about 3 times a week, and ride the bike about 20 mins (about 3 miles), walk on the treadmile (usually for 10-15 mins or .5-1 mile), and lift weights (all about 3-4 times per week)..Will this plan work for me? How can I help myself? I wear a pedometer, how many steps should I be taking per day? I am eating healthy with fruits, veggies, salads, chicken etc.
I walk/run on the treadmill. It’s at its highest incline (not sure what that is, though), and I walk at about 4.4 mph, and run at 6.5 mph. I only run a few minutes at a time, though, usually only once a mile. I go anywhere from 35 to 60 minutes, depending on what my day allows me to do. I’m a petite woman, and while I get out of breath and sweaty and such ON the treadmill, I’m good to go with no effects 10 minutes after my shower.
I’m a stay-at-home mom of a 6 month old, and while I don’t have a pedometer, I’ve had one before so I can estimate my step count– and I would estimate that, on an average day, I take no more than 2,000 steps besides my treadmill workout.
I recognize the importance of taking a day off, at least once a week, from workouts. I know that this is the day your body repairs itself, etc etc. My question is, since I’m so sedentary throughout much of the day, is it really THAT important that I take a day off between cardio workouts? (I strength-train on a bowflex a few times a week, but always take a day off between.)
Like we look after our bodys we exercise eat well ect?
