WHY DO YOU ALL HAVE TO BE SO LOGICAL!? edit: how accurate are calorie counters on cardio machines? edit again: are my legs supposed to be open or closed with squats? [/ QUOTE ] 1) Because we are men.

Re: *The Gym* Health and Fitness (and how you can lose weight, fatso)

edit: ty not named dan!! i am going to forego a barbell becuase i am doing them while i blowdry my hair. also if those calorie counters are accurate (and yes i put my weight in correctly and did not lie, tempting as it was), i burned 1100 calories today [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] edit again: i am doing lunges also in case anyone wants to mimic my workout .

Re: *The Gym* Health and Fitness (and how you can lose weight, fatso)
Speaking of calorie counters on machines, I own a stationary bike, and if it tells me my wattage along with total calories burned. Anyways, after about an hour at 150 W I total around 900 calories, according to the bike. However, according to fitday.com, it's only about 500 calories. And, according to other online sources, it's closer to around 600 calories. Furthermore, 1 W = 1 J/s = .86 kcal/hour. So 150 W should be about 129 kcal/hour. What the hell is going on here?

Re: *The Gym* Health and Fitness (and how you can lose weight, fatso)
didn't you see my edit already, ankle? i do put my weight in correctly, if only because i know that if i say i'm as heavy as i am it will say i burned more calories then if i lie and say i'm lighter then i am.

Re: *The Gym* Health and Fitness (and how you can lose weight, fatso)
great thread kyle, I'm not sure if you've just started your routine or have been at it for a while. If the latter what sort of progress have you made so far strength/fitness wise?
also everyone listen to what AZK says about nutrition.

Re: *The Gym* Health and Fitness (and how you can lose weight, fatso)
I've been on and off it, changing things around, but finally cemented this workout schedule after a lot of travelling interrupted it. I've added significant amounts of lean mass while losing fat pounds, have gained overall sport-specific endurance and performance, and I'm about 40% of the way there to becoming a very solid amateur-level pitcher.
Pretty good progress so far!
