Top Six Fitness Myths
Call me a traitor, but I checked out www.sparkpeople.com last night, and I found this email in my inbox this morning: Myth #1: You can take weight off of specific body parts by doing exercises that target those areas.

So I know nothing will ever be able to tell you an exact amount of calories burned during workout, but everything seems to be different!

Soreness poll
I'm sore all over so I'm thinking about being sore. I'm kind of curious about other people's patterns of being sore.

Or if I skip the exercise on day 2, then the…

HRM question
I bought a HRM watch. It's middle of the road. It has a couple of functions. One is to count the calories you burn.

I know it wouldn't be exact, just want…
