Dara Lightle traineo Newbie Posts: 23 Dara Lightle Jesus loves me this I know!	# Posted: 15 Apr 2008 13:08 Please don't laugh...everyone laughs when I say it. But I have been training in bowling and I sweat and get very tired after 2 hours of continuous bowling. I found a site that says I am burning about 211 calories an hour, so HAH!!! It really is exercise. How do we get them to put it on our exercise list??? www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist.htm

We had to play at least 1 whole game every day with our off hand. Now that was some entertainment!

Oh btw, Dara, you can enter a manual amount of calories burned if Traineo doesn't have the category you want.

Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2094 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 15 Apr 2008 19:53 i tried to not be curious, but I did not succeed. Troy, that sucked.

Derek Schultz Fitness Guru Posts: 258 Derek Schultz I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid. I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy. Got a blog rolling- rokandroll.blogspot.com I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.	# Posted: 15 Apr 2008 21:03 Quoting: nicholman ah... almost went there myself this morning... and take that however you want to. Almost? Tell the truth.

Splint Chesthair Fitness Guru Posts: 471 Splint Chesthair Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) http://splintchesthair.blogspot.com/	# Posted: 15 Apr 2008 22:13 - Edited by: splint I sense a "Tabata Bowling" experiment. Get like 4 lanes and throw as many balls as possible in 20 seconds. Then rest for 10 seconds. Repeat for 8 rounds. Score is lowest number of balls in a round, + 1 for each spare and +2 for each strike. That sounds like fun. It's all about the intensity you know.
