Garmin watch
I've set it up to link to my diary so it links my steps and workouts automatically. I don't actually use it for tracking calories but just as a record of what I've done that day. Why does it tell me I've burnt x calories from morning to early evening then discount them completely if I record a run? How accurate are they…

Gym Etiquette - What is the worst that you seen?
I hate when people at the gym will use three different machines at once, rotating after each set. Then get mad at you for hopping on an empty machine because they are on their rotation. Pick a damn machine/bench, do your reps and move on. Then you have the one rep, walk around two laps then back to their machine for rep #2…

Bad to work out only 1 arm?
I broke my wrist about a month after I added strength training to my routine. I can’t do much with that arm (other than physical therapy!) but if i did an upper body workout on only one side, is that bad? Maybe I should just do core : lower body and my walks for the next month or two?

Upper Arm Tracking Devices
I am ready to invest in a new tracking device. I previously lost 100lbs using the Bodymedia armband, which I loved and found super accurate and effective when eating at a deficit. Unfortunately, bodymedia is long gone, but I have noticed a few upper arm tracking devices on Amazon. Yay! Any recommendations on a good one or…

Swimming - is it fun or a fat burner?
I’ve recently joined a gym with a swimming pool and after 2 days of hitting the gym, I decided to take today’s session in the pool. I feel that my activity in the pool was high enough to burn some calories, indeed I was tired and out of breath. So I’m sat here now wondering, is the swimming an effective fat burner?

Running in pool
How do I log running in the pool deep end for an hour. It registers my steps, but I only get about 60 burned calories. I go as fast as I can it’s not a leisurely pace. Just don’t know how exactly to log it. Water aerobics maybe?

I have put on 5 stone (32kg) in the last two years so I know I can lose it. I…

Under desk 'walking pad' (treadmill)
Storytime! In a past life (my entire life into my early-mid 30's), my weight was never a major issue - sure, there were times I needed to lose a few pounds, but I'd just cut back on the eating out/candy/pop and it would fairly easily fall off. I had active hobbies (still do), but also had active jobs. Fewer injuries as…

Running Help (Pace)
Can anyone share some strategies to change my basic running pace? I did exclusively distance for a while, and now I find myself falling into a slow pace I could keep up for hours every time I quit actively concentrating on pace. Current cadence tends to stay 165ish, so I know that could stand to come up some. Any tips?
