Churning Guts
There's no way for me to be P.C. about this so here it is blunt and straight forward: After some intense cardio exercise my guts start churning. The kind of churning where you look like a deer in the headlights and bolt for the nearest bathroom, bush, what-have-you. Any one have any idea why? Its insanely uncomfortable and…

How do you become a runner?
I have tried and tried but no matter what I just cannot get conditioned to run. One day I can go for a while but a day later I am out of breath and feel like I am going to collapse after 30 seconds at 6.0 on the treadmill. I always have to do a warm up or I definitely won't make it. I have seen articles and read magazines…

I just can't do it....
I don't really have a lot to lose. I'm not fit, so I'm pretty much here to get that. But, I see so many people on here burning 400...600 calories everyday, and I just don't get how you do it. I can barely burn 300 without feeling like I'm going to pass out. Am I doing something wrong? I don't understand how someone who…

Do you wear your HRM all day

Considering I'll be looking at the lower end of the price scale (no more than £250, not sure what that is in dollars) and can't have anything that takes up vast amounts of room. I'd be looking at something like, but not necessarily identical to:…
