P90X Questions
I just bought the program today online. So, I haven't gotten mine yet. I am wondering what I will need to buy seperately to be able to do the workouts? Also, I don't think that any of my door frames will hold the chin up bar, so how will I do those? I bought 5 lb weights today, will I use them?

Heart Rate Monitor Accuracy
Hi guys, well today I took a hard look and noted the discrepancies of my Polar Heart Rate Monitor. Not good...anybody else question the calories burned when using theirs?

? For Those With FT4
How do I set my burning zone? When I added in my height and weight, the range automatically came up as 120-160. I have been killing myself using Insanity and my average hrt is 167-185 and because I have been averaging that high, I have been only in the zone of 120-160 for about 9mins and I wonder if my calories burned is…

Polar F6 question
During my morning run, the HRM kept jumping around in my heart rate - 180, 0, 155, 78, 0, etc. It's only 6 months old and should not be malfunctioning like this. Has anyone else had this problem? Nothing like this has ever happened before. Help!

Question about polar and calories burned
I bought a polar FT4. I decided to wear it all day for a few days to see how many calories I burn just doing what I do. In about 12 hours I burn about 2200 calories. My fitness pal guestimates that I'm burning about 1750 in a day. Should I use this new information? Is it accurate to use the moniter that way? With a 500 cal…

Turbo fire/cardio questions
Do you HAVE to follow the exact schedule for Turbo Fire? When I am following Turbo fires official schedule, I get totally bummed when there is no cardio on the schedule.
