Re: Do you really burn more body fat walking?

@lenzlaw - your "back of the napkin" numbers are born out by this article on Active.com -- http://www.active.com/triathlon/Articles/The-Myth-of-the-Fat-burning-Zone.htm. While you may burn a higher percentage of fat during lower intensity exercise, overall you will burn more fat and calories at higher intensity.

Sounds (no pun intended) like a great idea... but do those housings work? I don't think I would risk my ipod in the water. It's too precious to me. And where would it attach? I can't imagine it would go around your arm.

"San Diego-based Competitor Group Inc. thinks it can eventually draw as many as 30,000 runners to the course, with its starting line on the Strip.

"The 2009 race will be renamed the Rock â€™nâ€™ Roll Las Vegas Marathon, joining a lineup of nine marathons the Competitor Group will hold next year across the country.

"In those races, the company features unique courses â€” near the Alamo in San Antonio, through Music Row in Nashville and along the ocean in Virginia Beach â€” coupled with rock bands lining the roads and big concerts at the end."

I'm all about the PB&J on a bagel! And of course the cup of coffee.

But then again I'm a notoriously slow runner.

And since we're talking calculators and training tools, check out the Training tab on your My Active page. Lots of good stuff there as well.

The first thing you need to do with this spreadsheet is calculate the number of calories you need for your height and weight.

You'll find some handy calculators in Active.com's Fitness section, including one for your caloric needs.

North Park Carpool

Marc Villanueva and I have room for 2 more (car seats permitting) in our carpool from North Park. Because of our kid's schedules, we're pretty inflexible with time. We leave for work just after 7 and have to leave the office by 4:40pm. If that works for you, let us know. We're happy for the company.
