Alternate exercising
I have been doing 20 minutes everyday on my bike as well as some light weights and walking. I have now got my rowing machine out of storage and have just done 5 minutes on it. :flowerforyou: Should I do the rowing machine and the bike or alternate them on different days?

Someone just died on one of my biking routes
Just saw in the news that a cyclist was struck and killed by a car last night in my town, along one of my normal cycling routes. It's a fairly busy road, but it is marked with numerous "Share the Road" signs and markings that bikes are on the road. Please, everyone, remember to share the road, and pay attention - then…

Did I do something wrong?
I worked out on my honey's exercise machine. He tells me that it's not really weights that I'm using but resistance training. Anyway, I logged it into my exercise section but it isn't showing that I burned any calories. I didn't do very much on it being my first time but I thought I'd get something out of it. Am I logging…

Heart Rate
Hi All- I purchased a HRM a few months ago and have been using it for every workout I do. I do mainly videos at home, but also the elliptical machine at home too and weight lifting about 2 x week.

For the Runners - anyone run in the rain?
There's a chance of precip. this afternoon. I've finally begun running outside rather on the TM and LOVE it. But I've never run in the rain before. I have a windbreaker with a hood. I can wear that.

First time using Polar F6 HRM
So I tried my Polar F6 HRM yesterday for the first time. I was a little discouraged with it! I ran on the treadmill (5.8) for 35 minutes and it said that I burned 278 calories. I’m just not sure if this was accurate. Sure felt like I should’ve burned more than that!! A few times it told me my heart rate was at 90 bpm…. I…
