So today I went to the gym to do my usual session on the elliptical before I went into my step class. It was also my first time using my F6 and I was kinda irritated..!!! I usually try to burn 400 calories on the elliptical before class and what I did before I got my F6 was I would burn what the machine claimed to be 500 calories and then subtract 100. Well I found out today that I had to burn 700 calories on that darn machine before my HRM read 400!! Kinda irritating..but I got over it.:indifferent:
I go into step and by the end of our 55 min session..my HRM read 445 calories! That is fantastic because I had always thought I was burning like 200 calories in step because its so fun and it doesn't really feel like a workout.
After my step class I ran into a friend who I hadn't seen in a while and his exact words were.."have you been starving yourself?! You look really good! hahaha!" And of course I told him I had been doing the exact opposite, but it just never gets old hearing that kinda stuff ya know :bigsmile: makes fighting cravings and excercising 'till my legs feel like they're about to fall off worth it!
Okay, I am done ranting. Thanks for reading. I have 845 extra cals tonight..I think I'm going to eat some peanut butter!

I went out with someone I hadn't seen since Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago and his exact words were, "you gotta lay off the cocaine!"
hahaha I could have kissed him! :laugh:0 -
But isn't it great to finally know the truth!?
My running coach laughs at me - she does everything the old fashioned way - non-tech methods makes me feel bad sometimes but I just tell her that knowledge is power!!0 -
what is an F4 or an F6?0
-
That's awesome girl, Gotta love it when ppl comment on the weightloss. It seems like u kinda evened out on the exercise thingy b/c one u were over estimating asnd the other class you were under estimating, so that's not so bad! 0

what is an F4 or an F6?
Oh - amazing heart rate monitors! You input your data - height, weight, age, etc and it gives you constant reads on heart rate and calories burned!
I love mine!

Is it one with a chest strap? How much money? lol I want one!0
-
the f6 does come with a chest strap. mine was about $110.0
-
Yep it comes with a chest strap. Apparently those without straps are not as accurate. I got my F6 on ebay for 60 dollars brand new and that was with shipping!0
-
$60 for the F6 is such a deal!!!!!! I'm jealous!!!!! Did you get the cute pink one? I got the ice blue - matches my workout gear.
I'm in Canada, so to get the $80 F4 from E-bay, and have it delivered, and pay duty, I'd be over $100.
Sportchek has them on sale this week, and I got my F4 for $99 + tax. I still love it anyway!

Yes I did get the cute pink one!! :bigsmile:0
