P90X Cardio question...
I purchased the set a while ago...(a baby and two foot surgeries ago to be exact!) I never really was able to get into it. Since then I have shuffled my work out space around.

Garmin Heart Rate Monitor
I think I might be having issues with the calorie counter on this HRM. Anyone have a Garmin with a chest strap? Today I did a boot camp type class at my work gym.

Turning into an outdoor runner
Hi everyone! I was going to buy a gym membership and keep running indoors, but I figured it all out and it was going to be way too much money. Therefore, I'm taking my (free) run outdoors.
