Black outs while exercising
When I exercise hard, I black out during and get really bad headaches. I am prone to migranes and am on Topamax to prevent them. My headaches after working out are like pressure headaches. Could this be due to poor circulation/lack of oxygen/overheating? Topamax also inhibits your ability to sweat. Anyone else have this…

Fat Burn vs. Cardio

The fat burn heart rates are lower and the cardio ones are higher.... Does this really make a difference when trying to lose weight? Do i want to try to keep my heart rate to the…

Stop Doing Sit-Ups!

HR question...this is a new on on me!
I recently had to change the battery in my Polar F6. For a few days afterward, the thing went a bit haywire. It appears to have settled down now back into its normal modes (after much fiddling and consulting the guide by me). Now I notice that there is a steamy haze to the screen. I haven't looked since taking it off, but…
