Can I count sex as exercise on my fitness journal?
I have a fitness journal. I have to do some sort of exercise every afternoon after work. I either swim 5 km, ride my bike 40 kms on the bike lanes, jog 5km, walk 20 km. I have other kinds of exercises that are hard to measure how many calories I burn, but I still count them as exercise: like playing football with friends, rappelling, playing baseball, ice-skating, or rollerblading. I’ve never lifted weights, but I should try someday. Last week, I had sex 3 afternoons, and I didn’t do any exercise those days. The only thing that ever keeps me from doing exercise is when my boyfriend wants to have sex. It takes me from 2 to 3 hours, and I end up really tried, it leaves me wanting to go to sleep afterwards.

Holy crap 2-3 hours; you better count that as exercise!
I want to start mountain climbing and so I’m starting with the three peak challenge in the UK. What kind of exercises are the best to get in shape for mountain climbing? I know that climbing mountains will help me get in shape… but I have none close to me whatsoever. I’m assuming I’ll need some strong leg muscles?
Thank you so much! That is everything I need! I go to the gym 5 days a week anyway but only really do cardio and maybe about 20 minutes daily of weights on my legs - but didn’t really know what was best, so thank you very much - its been a great help!
I do mountaineering regularly, so I hit the gym 4 or 5 days a week and hike on the weekends.
You will need to do both strength training and cardio training.
I lift weights 4 days a week, alternating between upper and lower body. I do concentrate on my legs, back, and shoulders since these do the majority of the work when climbing.
I also do cardio 5 days a week - 30 to 60 minutes. I do a cycling class 3 days a week, hit the stair climber for 40 minutes one day, and do sprints on the treadmill for 30 minutes (2 minutes of sprinting, 3 of walking, alternating).
I usually do a high altitude hike on the weekends too, but you could probably just do a long, fast walk.
An EXCELLENT book on this subject is Training for Peak Performance by Clyde Soles (Mountaineer Books).
Ok, so I’m staying at this hotel in San Francisco. (The link is above) There is a fitness center there. Are kids allowed? Are you charged to get in? If so, how much?
BTW you can just guess if you want.
Most hotels do not charge a fee for fitness center use. Kids must be supervised.
If in doubt call or email the hotel and ask.

What is the best way to start a career in personal training?
Should I start with Online study courses like ACT, or attend a School such as CNI, or start working for a health club (Bally’s, 24 Hr Fitness, etc…) and learn by programs offered by them? Which certifications are the best recognized in the industry? I’m a middle age man looking to make a career change from an office cubicle into a fitness career.
Thanks for your input!
ACSM or WITS certs.
Programs are typically offered at local colleges, just check with the advisers.
ULTIMATE fat burning and muscle buidling weight training programs for men and women
There are hundreds of infomercials for various fitness products being shown on TV. The fact is every 6 months or so the developers of these products unveil a new and improved machine which they claim is better than the previous model. Do you think these products advertise false claims?
Ex: Ab Shaper, Ab Swing, Ab Lounge,
Any of those ab things *might* strengthen your abs, but they don’t work on your lower back, which is what you also need, and they don’t burn fat, which is what you want if you are trying to flatten your stomach.
I live in DC and I am planning our 2007 Family Reunion in Charlotte, NC for July 12th - 15th. Doing this long distance is a chore. I am looking for accomodations that have suites - meaning separate living area from the bedroom and full kitchen. If the hotel/suite offered 2 bedroom suites that would be perfect for families of 4.
The hotel/suite must have an event room for a 50 pp dinner or a hospitality room that we can use as a meeting place during our stay. I would like to have catering service for the dinner buffet provided by the hotel ( a breakfast buffet or continental breakfast we be ideal!)
Ususal amenites such as free parking, indoor or outdoor swimming pool, fitness room, free highspeed internet goes without saying.
Charlotte, NC is a wonderful place. Planned activities include Parmount Carowinds and Discovery Place. If you have any more sugguestions of places to see, let me know. Charlottians, I’m counting on you for your help! Please don’ t let me down!
Hey There. Just off the top of my head there are a few places that might meet your needs. The DoubleTree Guest Suites SouthPark is an all suite hotel that has meeting space as well as a full service restaurant. It is also located adjacent to SouthPark Mall. The Embassy Suites Woodlawn Places you about halfway between Center City and Carowinds, and is an all suite hotel with meeting space and a full service restaurant as well.
Your best bet though, would be to contact Visit Charlotte, the convention and vistors bureau. They have a special division that works with family reunions, and they will help you find accomodations, plan activities, and just about anything else you need help with. (and as far as I know its a free service!) You can reach them at VisitCharlotte.com or even better, call them at 1.800.722.1994 and talk to one of their event planners.
Here are just a few other things you might want to visit while you’re here:
Levine Museum of The New South
Mint Museum of Craft + Design
Carolina Raptor Center
Afro-American Cultural Center
Charlotte Museum of History
Lowe’s Motor Speedway
Carolinas Avation Museum
Catch a performance at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center or the Award winning Childrens Theatre of Charlotte.
Just to name a few…
Whatever you end up doing, best of Luck planning your visit and hope you have a great time in Charlotte!
