Cardio Machine Trap
Wow, it happens to all of us. We think we work hard and should be able to reward ourselves for that hard work. There is only one problem, How hard did we really work? Not such an easy thing to find out is it...
UNLESS: We're at the gym or have a big fancy machine at home. I'm talking about those big, bulky, floor space robbing Cardio machines that come in many flavors. Elliptical Trainers, Stair Climbers, Exercise Bikes. The nice ones all have a great tool to calculate exactly how many calories are burned during a given workout.
Useful Health and Fitness Resources
As most that know me are aware, I'm not even close to what would be called a Health Nut. I don't eat the best foods, I don't exercise enough, I don't even research enough on what I should be doing. That being said, I'm not a total Slob/Couch Potato either. I enjoy working out (unless it's just general steady state Cardio), I enjoy lifting weights, I enjoy sports, and most of all, I enjoy being out and playing with my girls.
Honestly, I never even considered working out or going to the gym until my oldest daughter began getting old enough to play outside. At that time, I found out real quick how bad out of shape I was and knew it was time to do something about it. The real problem at that time was that "I don't have any clue on what I need to do to get in better shape". We had joined a gym, but didn't have the money to Personal trainer (That was a blessing in disguise), so I had to start researching what I should be doing with my goals to get stronger, and have a bit more endurance in mind. My research led me to a few websites and resources that I still use today for information and I wanted to compile this list so that it may help others who are beginning their journey to get in better shape.
These are in no particular order, just sites I still use.
