Alright so I'm very confused on the bands everyone is wearing.. What do they do? Are they to keep track of calories burned? I've seen many people out jogging with them etc. Do any of you own one? What are the pros and cons? Do you think they are accurate? If they work I am going to get one.. Just not sure what to look for. And how much do these bad boys cost? Thanks! (:

    Are you talking about heart rate monitors? There's different kinds of them - wrists (looks like a watch), chest/under bust ones (typically go at the bottom of the sports bra), etc... They're mostly there to keep you in the zone and make sure you're not over or under working yourself. Though I have read a few posts that they're not all equal and can be misleading if you don't buy the right ones. I don't know much about them except that we used to use them in high school gym a few years back.
