hrm watch/chest band sync up
Not working! I'm so frustrated. I tried cleaning the chest electrodes and using water and lotion as conductors. I changed the batteries to make sure the sensor batteries were working. I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions? My hrm is a sigma sport onyx balance model.

Running and all that goes with that
Guys, I wonder if anyone would like to give me a few pointers? I'd quite like to start running... or at least jogging.

I could really do with some advice on: -how to…

Any 200-250 pound runners out there?
I started running in June 2010 at 275 pounds... I have run several 5Ks and a 5 miler since then and my life is transformed. I am healthier and fitter than I look, and people are often shocked when they hear about my races or what I ran last night. But, when I go to races... I always look around for heavier runners like…

cardio gel?
I got a heart rate monitor/calorie counter for Christmas. The directions say I need to apply either cardio gel or salvia (which I'm assuming is saliva, for people who can spell). Where can I get cardio gel and how much does it cost? Does it work better than just wetting the chest band?

Weight training for newbies
Hello all =) I'm an ex-swimmer trying to get my muscles back! I know I will probably never look like the swimming linebacker that I used to (muscle wise anyways) but I am trying to tone a little and I know it promotes weight loss.

Reebok Easy Tone?
So I'm not usually one to fall for all the silly consumer propaganda out there, but I am really intrigued by Reebok Easy Tone shoes. If they actually work, I may seriously consider buying a pair. So my question is if anyone on here has used them? Do they work? Or are they not worth it?

Swimming after a ruptured eardrum?
Hi All, So about 7 weeks ago I got a double ear infection and one of my eardrums ruptured. They feel fine now, but I was wondering how long I have to wait until I can swim? I wouldn't be as concerned if my right eardrum hadn't ruptured, but I want to be sure...anyone experience that before?

Workout Motivation!
Try to work out as much as possible, but at your own pace, and reward yourself. But not with a snack, by putting a certain amount of money in a jar, for every time you work out. The more you work out the more money you save. Then go on a shopping spree, and buy yourself a new wardrobe for your new thin, and trim body. Keep…
