Extremely hot today 95 to over 100 but still worked out ... morning and evening! When my youngest son got married 2 yrs. ago and our nest was finally empty, people ask what were my future plans...my answer was get my life back! With my 5th grand child due next week, (the youngest one now turns 8 next month) I have a…

All Saints Day November 1st

8 Track Tapes was awesome when I was in High School!

After years of having issues with finding the right shoes for jogging and training, I highly reccomend Brooks or Asics!

To everyone who thinks they're able to track calories acurate in their head and know exactly how many calories there are in everything they put in their mouth! It's amazing...and then they wonder why they're not losing any weight!

Not a one! Never was interest in one! Must have been born in the wrong time period!

WOW! What a compliment....I'll be 57 this year! 4 grands with one on the way in October. My oldest child will be 35 in June.

35

Going on 36 years!!!

We hit "35 years" in November 2011!!!! After all these years we finally found something we truly like and enjoy and can do together...Workout! Our children are between 28-34 and we can run circles around them. Our grands think we're the BOMB! I taught my grandsons how to box, skate, swim take them on beach workouts and now…

56 and counting...Still young at heart and able to keep up with my 4 grands!

Polar F4...Basic User Friendly, affortable & reliable.

At the age of "52" after going up and down in my weight for the previous 20 yrs., I too needed something that would change my life and lifestyle. Since working out on my own didn't seem to do the job I got a "very reasonable" trainer who helped me go from at size 18 Women (230) to a size 10-12 at (165). I turn "56" this…

Go for it! Earlier this year my Trainer challenged me to complete a Trianthalon which consisted of a 5K. The one thing I did not like to do was run. After accepting the challenge and training for about 4 weeks, not only was I able to run the entire 5K , I completed it in 33 mins.; now I practically run everyday. This was…

Love it...will eat it on toast, apples, in shakes, P & J sandwich. I recommend eat one that is "natural" much more healthier. Super crunch w/nuts my absolute favorite.

Polar F4 or F6 ... Simple, User friendly, and not too expensive. I've used one daily for the past 2 years. Love it so much I purchase additional ones for family members. Shop around they frequently go on sale for a good price. I do highly recommend one with a chest trap.

Your wedding should reflect the two of you! Anyone who knows you will not have any problem with whatever choices you choose to celebrate your day. Last year I attended a wedding where the couple's first date and meal was breakfast, so at their reception, instead of serving the usual chicken, beef or fish dinner, everyone…

I know the feeling...I just completed my first triathlon which consisted of a 5k jog, 12 mile bike and 200 meter swim (my time was 1:50 mins) which at my age (55) was a serious challenge. Before doing this I had never jogged more than a quarter mile without walking in between. Now I jog and bike 3 times a week! Keep it up…

Count me in...170 pds. Been trying to loose these 5 pds for pass couple of months.

I would stick with an F4 or F6. More user friendly. I purchase the FT4 and returned it. For all the basic imput and information you'll need in turns of Calories burned, heartrate and calculation of information...F4 or F6 will do just fine. I do highly recommend the usage of one.

I have a Polar F4 and have often experienced the same thing. According to my trainer this will sometimes happen during intense training or cardio that involves running for a long period of time at a high energy level. Your heart rate isn't actually beating at that rate. After hitting your max it will sometimes show a high…

My experience and advice from my trainer ... the fit and healthier you are the less calories your op to burn. Trust your HRM! At 260 I could burn calories calore...since loosing 65 lbs and becoming more fit and healthy, the less calories I'm able to burn in the same amount of time and energy! As you said yourself...your in…

AWESOME!!!! I just finish doing Kenpo and came online to log info! Your Nutrition is off the hook...Keep it up!!!

In May of 2008 I began working out with a trainer (who I am still with today), and this piece was one of the first things he gave me to read. I share it with everyone I've recommented to him and needless to say I am a living witness that every single word is true. Talk about a LOVE - HATE relationship! I've experienced it…

After being on medication for 5 or 6 yrs for HC I began a serious attempted to improve my health and fitness level to come off meds. I eliminated process food, minimized deserts (e.g. muffins, donuts, ice cream) anything high in saturated fat. Switched from butter to promise and concentrated on foods with healthy fats (…

I mix almond milk with Fat Free / Skim Milk. Almond milk is creamy to me so I mix it with Fat Free / Skim milk mostly for the texture!
