best watch for female runners image
sarah
I'm a 5ft 2 female. I weigh 120 pounds. If I run on the treadmill for 1 hour at 5mph, about how many calories would I burn?
Each website I check has a different number. Does anyone know a reliable site?
Answer
From the Runner's World website:
If you ran 5 miles, your NET calories burned would be:
120 * .63 = 75.6 Calories/Mile
378 Net Calories Burned from Running
This is excluding your Basal Metabolic Rate...
If BMR is included,
120 * .75 = 90 Calories/ Mile
450 Calories Burned from Running
If you want to lose some weight, try to hit 500 kcal per run... Easier if you also add easy workouts (lots of walking) along the way. Also helpful if you get a Heart Rate Monitor w/c calculates your caloric expenditure based on the amount of time you spend in your Target Heart Rate Zones. Will be immensely helpful for your training.
I recommend the Polar FT60 trainer with the STAR Training Program. You just program the watch, and just follow the program!
Good luck and have lots of fun!

What do horseback riders call one another?
Mr. Best A
Jockey is only used to describe 100 pound, 5' tall men, that wear tights and beat their horse in the ass with a stick. So what about the hobbyists?
People who run are runners. People who rock climb are climbers. Do they call each other riders or is there another term or slang for it?
Thanks and I don't doubt it. I bet what they do is exhausting.
Answer
First of all, Smarty Pants, not all jockeys are male, not any more. There are females who have been very successful in recent years and decades, including Chantal Sutherland ( who's now retired), Julie Krone, Rosie Napravnik, and several more. Many trainers prefer to employ women as grooms and exercise riders too, because they believe that women can relate to horses better than men. As for what riders call each other, that varies. "Riders" is the most common term I've heard, with an additional name that designates which sport or discipline the person is involved in. There are dressage riders, event riders, show jumping riders or show jumpers, hunter riders, equitation riders, saddle seat riders, stock seat or Western riders, and so forth. People who play polo are called polo players. People who barrel race are called barrel racers. If someone does cutting or reining, he or she is called a cutter or a reiner, depending on the sport.
Horse sports are gender neutral. Men and women compete equally with and against one another, especially in international events like the Olympic Games and the WEG. These are also the only sports in which co-ed teams are common. It's not unsual at all to see married couples competing together, or teams made up of brothers, sisters, or father and son combinations. There's even one sport, endurance riding, where there was a famous mother/daughter combination that represented the US some years ago- Valerie and Danielle Kanavy. The rules are the same for both genders in all horse sports. After all, the horses don't care what a rider's gender is, nor do they care what their riders look like or what their riders' political affliliation may be. Horses also have no concept or notion of the terms "gay" and "straight" the way humans do. It's this gender blind, race blind, color blind, and species blind attitude that makes horse sports unique.
One other note: The crop that jockeys use is very soft, and is more a noisemaker than an instrument of punishment. It doesn't hurt the horse, and there are strict rules against overuse of the whip on every track. Jockeys who break or violate such rules can face fines and loss of their license to ride, which means they can't make a living. The racing stewards are always watching what jockeys do, and they are on the lookout for poor behavior all the time. And the jockeys don't wear tights, they wear breeches, as do riders in all other English style sports. A lot of jockeys are taller than five feet, too, especially those who ride steeplechase horses. Peope who participate in harness sports are called drivers. If the sport is competitive driving, the driver may have a navigator and a brakeman along too.
