So....I did 30 mins of rowing this morning before work, rowed 5.4k thinking that would burn off a lot of calories so I wouldn't feel as bad for having a maccy's at lunchtime.
Logged it on my garmin appand it said I only burnt 239 calories.....That's not even a chips worth!!!   |

Get a gel saddle cover. I had one for when I used to go spinning. It had a drawstring thingy so you put it on the seat and pulled the drawstring tight to hold it on. Much more comfortable  |

Does your app take into account the calories you burn just for being alive or the ones you've burnt just doing the exercise?  |

"Slate bed Cardio is a waste of time if your trying to get into shape!
whats slate bed cardio?"
Basically running or rowing at a steady even pace...hit training is far more effective and burns loads more calories! |

"Does this garmin thing have a heart rate monitor? X
i think you can get one for it but i dont have one."
I think without one it will be a general average amount by the app. You'd get a much more accurate reading with a monitor. However most 45 min-60 min aerobic/cardio type exercises I do burn around 500 cals so it might not be far off x |

"Just checked an online calculator and it said 200-250 for 30 mins of moderate to heavy rowing so it's prob about right.
"
. It's quite depressing sometimes. I've done it before.. Eaten a load of biscuits and thought I'll burn them off later then realised it'll take ME about 6 hours!! Haha...
Suppose that's where the saying 'you can't out train a bad diet' comes from  |

Have diet with your Maccy D - it's a well known fact that cancels out the calories in the burger and fries |

Google meltdown workout..3 times a week eat little and often 5 small meals a day cut back on sugar and carbs like bread and white rice.. Can't go wrong! |

That's ok cos the 15 minute dance you do when you bite into it and it's hotter than the reactor at Chernobyl burns off the extra calories, plus when your tongue spontaneously combusts that's another couple of ounces weight loss |

Weights are the way to go , google negative tention set, 45 mins on a three day split, with an extra 45 mins of cardio if you really want that comp. sub ten body mass.
Keep it up ! |
