Definitely a strap, it's more accurate. Polar makes a great line that spans the gamut of budgets.

Couldn't agree more. You can't 'make abs'. You can however change your diet and increase your fitness level. Eventually you will see them appear - avoid all the gimmicky training programs to get abs quick. I incorporate about 60 crunches three times a week into my routine, along with a few other exercises to keep my abs…

Greek Yougurt is extremely high in protein - about 18-20 grams per 6-7 oz serving. Grocery stores carry all kinds now in the refrigerated section. Stick to natural foods though, rather than shakes or supplements, for your dietary needs. Also, Kashi Go Lean has 13 grams of protein per serving and only 140 calories. I eat…

Your max heart rate is usually 220 - your age. So I am 34 and my max heart rate is 220- 34 = 186. Your target heart rate zone for fat burning can be found using the following link: http://www.livestrong.com/article/461832-heart-zone-training-fat-loss/

Because there is a direct correlation between heart rate and workout intensity between a certain heart rate range. Your heart rate is the best way to gauge your calories burned next to actually going and having a test done in a laboratory. As far as fat burning in the 'cardio zone' - you will burn less calories as fat…

This is interesting. I have a degree in anthropology and one of the interesting facts about humans is that for most of our (anotomically human) history we did subsist largely on fruits, nuts, grains, etc. Meat was a 'luxury' and hard to come by (50,000 years ago there were no supermarkets, just you and the wild. What's…

Broccoli has about 30 calories for a cup - pretty filling too with all that fiber! Lettuce is extremely low in calories, so if you make a big salad, you can expect about 20 or so calories for the actual lettuce portion (not including oil, etc).

Same here, looking to gain 'quality' weight.

Yea, I usually go on a stroll if I am feeling antsy. But I always resist the urge to go out and just run anyway. I've done it before and paid for it! Nothing like trying to sneak in more than you can handle and then ending up not being able to run for 2 weeks because of overuse. :sad:

Muscles, like any part of your body, need time to recuperate and rebuild after "injury" - which is what a work out is in the sense that you are tearing and breaking muscle fibers (this is how muscles get built!). Allowing rest between workouts will increase stamina, strength, and endurance over time and will allow your…

Yes, rest is important, even if you aren't sore. Your muscles need time to repair themselves, and if you don't allow this time, you will never see any gains in your performance and you be at an increased risk of injury. You won't feel sore after every run/workout, but eventually you will become fatigued and start to see a…
