Fat percentage handlebar thing at the gym
you know that thing that you grip with both hands and hold out in front of you, it takes your bmi (calculated from your height and weight and age that you input) and then measures your HR I'm assuming, and tells you your body fat%.. How accurate is it vs the caliper tests? How the heck does it work?

Sauna...

Sports Injuries and Working out
So I was a competitive figure skater for 12 years and had to quit 2 years ago from a back injury, 2 slipped disks and 2 stress fractures. I was in a back brace for a couple months and went through physical therapy. I didn't get surgery or anything (probably should have, or still should). So I didn't work out most of the…

Heart Rate Monitor Questions

The only input to put in under the personal information area was my sex and my age. Didn't ask me my weight. For some reason I thought that my weight was necessary to accurately…

Ladies, need advice talking to my gf about the gym
So my gf has been "inspired" by my recent weight loss and says she wants to lose weight too... The problem is she is at a healthy weight already and I don't think she eats enough as it is.
