Apple watch data vs building a work out routine on MFP
I am relatively new to MFP for tracking workouts as I previously just used it for calorie counting. I have synced my Apple Watch to my MFP account for my workouts.

Why is this such a big deal in Zumba/studio classes
So the other day when I instructed class, I had to diffuse two women arguing about a "spot" on the floor in class. Each was claiming that it was their space.
