Polar Watches and BMR
well it took them long enough to reply, almost a week. But I had emailed them asking if the polar F-series watches included BMR in their calculations when they told you how many calories you burn. And they said that yes, they already include it. So the calories you see on the watch already include the extra calories you…

PRE AND POST WORK OUT "MUST" EATS
I firmly believe that Strength/Weight Training is the way to go . A resting BMR that eats up alot of fat calories for fuel by way of lean muscle mass is the ticket. Resting one pound of fat will burn 2-3 cals per hour; a pound of lean muscle will burn 30-36 cals per pound per hour. Something to think about thats for sure.…
