"My Fitness Coach"
Anyone use this Wii game ("My Fitness Coach") for cardio? If so, have you figured out a way to make the workouts really focus more on cardio? Even when you make cardio your "focus", it seems you still spend about a third of your workout doing "leg extensions", "plie squats", and "hip abductions." I understand that strength…

Mio Stride HRM

A little disappointed..
So today I woke up with a sore shoulder. I think I may have had some poor form with my 30 Day Shred workout last night. Now I have to wait a couple days before I can start it again. :( I am going to do my Walk At Home workouts instead until the pain is gone. This is so disappointing. I was starting to feel the difference…

OK, silly question. Has anyone here (or maybe some place on the web) used two different brands and/or types of heart rate monitors and compare what the resulting calories burned are at the same time? For example, I would wear my Mio on my left wrist and a F6 on my left and see what the differences are after my workout. Doug
