Cortisol/weight gain
Has anyone had issues with Cortisol causing them to gain weight?

HRM Questions
I went to the gym today and used my HRM for the first time (Polar FT4)!. Im kind of surprised and wondering if its accurate.

Which workout Video?
I like the Ripped in 30 and 30 Day Shred videos but I feel they are too leg intensive. Does anyone have a shorter video that is not as intense on the legs? (something that is maybe 30 minutes or less? I have two kids and don't have a lot of time!)

HRM Question
I have been contemplating getting a HRM but I have a question. I tend to have a naturally higher heart rate, Im not sure why...but that's how I've always been (it's like 105-110 resting). Would a HRM even be accurate in tracking calories if I am naturally high in heart rate?

Heart Rate
