Polar OwnIndex
How does this test Vo2Max? Mine has gone from 35 - 37 since I started wearing the HRM last November. Since then I have lost 40 lbs and went from not being able to walk for 30 mins to now running 3 miles. I have to be healthier then I was last November but the numbers aren't showing it.

30 Day Shred nearly killed me!
So I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred for the first time on Wednesday, and I found it extremely difficult. I did level 1 and found it so difficult that I couldn't finish the whole thing.

How long does it take to train for a half marathon?
I'm thinking about running a half marathon in October. I have several 5Ks and a 10K before that (10K in June). Should I focus more on training for the 10K first, or should I assume training for a half now will automatically help me train for the 10K? Any tips?

I think it's funny that an example of lightly active is a nu
Most of my 8 hour nursing shift consist of speed walking down the hallway for about 2-3 miles a night, standing (not sitting) to chart on a computer, and lifting people twice my weight to help them walk or get more comfortable. Multiply that by 5 days a week...I'm not so sure that my life is lightly active.
