  • I have the Garmin 310XT. I've always used Garmin's in the past never had an real problems with them though. Only thing to consider is that the HRM strap will stink after a while, and washing in the washer is not the best solution. But I do on the gentle cycle then let it air dry. I know the 310XT is made for swimming, not…

  • Amen to this!!! For overall strength training, you'll never fail with this type of set up. Of course I like to use dumbbells for the press, bench and row (to engage those stabilizers) but this is the best all around program you should shoot for.

  • Should mention this too. If you're losing weight, you'll burn less calories during exercise. At 264 for one hour of cardio I would typically burn 1100-1200 calories. at 228 in one hour, I'll only get to about 900-1000.

  • It may just mean your in shape. And not overweight. Bodyweight plays a factor. Ideally, you rarely would ever need to train beyond your maximum HR. To improve endurance, you would only need to be in the 90% range of you MHR. Training at max or beyond would only be "necessary" in HIIT exercises. and even then it would only…

  • Truth. I do the same thing, with longer distances. I aim for at least 6 miles a day even on circuit days (every other day). My fitness has improved vastly. Since 1 January, I've dropped 35 pounds and my RHR went from 85 to 47. For me cardio is essential, along with a clean diet.

  • Check out ISOPURE Zero Carb Whey Protein. 50 grams of protein per serving with 1gram fat; 0 carbs, and 200 total calories. Dutch chocolate is good with water. But if you add stuff (I typically add 1/2 cup of oatmeal and strawberries) try the strawberry cream flavor.

  • It has definitely been working for me. SInce 1 Jan, I've logged 152 miles running and dropped 17 pounds. Also been watching my diet focusing on eating clean foods.
    in Does running actually work ? Comment by jrdennis13 February 2012
  • One thing that might help is to focus on eating a bit more protein and I know this sounds sacrilege, but a bit more "clean" fats. Both fats and proteins will help you to feel full throughout the day. Also, not really sure what your caloric burn is during exercise, the key to weight loss is a steady state of daily calorie…
