Have you put your starting weight in

Yep

Walked about a mile this morning and assumed it would tell me how many calories that burned off. Had to manually input it myself like I've got a ****ing clue how many calories I burned off doing that.

Had a Google and settled on 150

No there is a thing for it.

Click the 'add exercise' button. The search for walking. Then just input your time/distance. It then adds your extra calories.

[Lee]

150 calories for walking a mile.

It's probably nearer to about 40 calories.

I was carrying a kid and walking briskly!

Did that, searched, found walking, added the time walked and then you have to enter the calories manually.

I love putting stuff done as being done 'Briskly'

I now have a mental image of you walking briskly with your teeny tiny pram umbrella

P.S. That's 200 calories.

It doesn't have sex as a preset exercise


So I'm gonna stick my hrm on next time and calculate it

Weird, Dog walking is on there. That calculates it all. Earnt myself 200 calories last night by chucking a ball around for the mutt.

[Shaggy]

I'm going to leg it up and down the stairs a few times in a bit

[Alex]

I find myself turning it into a game. Trying to get more points to eat stuff.

Watch it you lazy *******

In summary the most important thing is to stand still as little as possible, it's more important to do many small walks during the day than only doing an hour in the gym and sitting on the chair the rest of the day.

And in terms of what exercise gives you in terms of hormones, extra burning of fat etc. you can achieve that by doing 1 minute of maximum pressure exercise 3 times a week. For example running as fast as you can for 1 minute or on a exercise bike as fast as you can.

And the one about fat is more about using good fats rather than cutting them away enterily. So using good natural ingredients.

Yep, coconut oil is meant to be like a gift from the gods! I know people who have a teaspoon of coconut oil sprinkled with cinnamon every day for breakfast, and swear by it. It's not bad either!
