Why no "extra calories" for reps???
So I got a bench and dumbells and a list of good arm free weight exersices. I spent about 45 minutes doing reps..... and when I went to add it to the exercise log (and win back enough calories for some goodies) it was nothing doing. Anyone know why it doesn't count for calories? I thought someone said weightlifting helped…

Lift HEAVY
Okay, I know that we've all been told to do high reps, low weight to 'tone'. Aside from the fact that 'tone' and 'muscle definition' aren't the same thing, and that high reps build up lactic acid and cause GH to promote muscle growth, and that weight that is too light won't do *anything*, that statement is true. So in…

Need female advice on wearing Polar F6 HRM
I just got a Polar F6 HRM. I was very excited to try it out today so I put it on according to the instructions and went for a walk/jog. However, it didn't seem to consistantly monitor my heart rate.
