Hi
I recently started spinning on a startrac bike at my gym. The bike features a large lcd touch screen display and is fairly high tech. However, I feel that the calorie count my be a little off.
Stats:
155 lb.
5'9 ft
Calories one hour: 800
Resistance low to moderate
Unusually on livestrong the count says 500 calories as does other websites. Though the machine does not have a heart rate moniter I was windering how accurate the calorie count on the machine is verses websites?
Answer
500-600 calories seem accurate. If you want to know your exact burn in the future, I would really recommend wearing an HRM watch. I've had mine for 8 years now and I use it daily. I love it and I always know my exact calories burned! : )

If I do 50 push ups, 50 crunches, 50 squats a day, for a week, how fitter will I be?

I'm currently a normal weight (143, 5'7") and I just want to get down maybe a few pounds and look a little better for my trip I am going on in a week. I will eat very healthy and how much of a difference will 50 squats, 50 push ups and 50 crunches a day make? will it be noticeable? any other tips on workouts i should do or eating tips? thanks a ton :)
Answer
I would try doing more core exercises and more pushups in addition to your 50's of each...
That will tone you up, but if that's all you wanna do then try like 3 or 4 sets of those! Plus, you need anywhere from 30-60min of cardio (I'd choose a spin bike if I were you).

Pick up a 17 Magazine, they have a section just for simple exercises and healthy eating habits.
PS: Stop eating gluten before you go cus gluten helps the fat layer in your body hold on to extra water, gives you the "puffy" look even if you're not. You'll see better results that way.
