Help re. Polar FT4 battery ?
So if you have a Polar FT4 I'd really appreciate your help with something :flowerforyou: I liked the fact that I could change the battery on this model myself. When my battery died recently I took it out and *THOUGHT* I ordered more of it online. (3v CR2032). When they came, I was dismayed to find they were the wrong ones…

Hey! Newbie ... does anyone bellydance?
Hello everyone - I'm another newbie, coming in to say hello. I never struggled with my weight until my late 20's - and then when I just buckled down and watched what I ate I could shed it pretty easily. But since hitting my late 30's, it's extremely difficult to get it off! I'm also a stress eater, which doesn't help…

CRUNCH-N-PLANK!
No, that’s not a new menu item at Long John Silvers … it’s a September challenge that my buddy Gerkenstein and I cooked up! We’ve both developed an unexpected love for challenging ab-routines … and being that we both have been enjoying monthly challenges to push ourselves further, we thought we’d start our own for…

Peanut Butter Smoothie
I just threw this together today and it was awesome 1 cup of light soymilk 1 scoop of vanilla whey proten a blob of peanut butter (I'm guessing I used about 1-1/2 tb) *OR* PB2 powder if you have it - it cuts down the calories a lot about half a banana's worth of frozen banana chunks. Blend until smooth - the frozen banana…

P90/Insanity ... sorry y'all
I know people ask this all the time but I can't seem to find the threads. I've really gotten into setting monthly/periodic challenges for myself, and I'm looking at starting either P90X or Insanity for my October challenge. What is the difference between the two, and what are your collective opinions/thoughts on either/or?…

Accrued Days - thoughts?
I don't know if others have suggested this, but I thought I would run it past y'all. The days logged in feature is really nice - but starting over at day one if you can't log in one day or go on vacation or something is kind of a bummer, don't you think? I was wondering if it might be more encouraging for everyone if it…

Nearly-No Sodium Marinara
This is probably not a new recipe for anyone, but I just wanted to share. I love marinara sauce. I mean seriously. I was eating a ton of it (the jar kind) because it's really not all that much with the calories. But when I decided to cut my sodium down, I about crapped when I saw how much sodium is in pasta sauce in a jar!…

Knockout Thoughts?
I used to really love kickboxing and boxing in general when I worked out before my son was born. Recently I've rekindled my love affair with it thanks to the boxing component on Wii Sports! :happy: I hesitate to get back into kickboxing because my knees are fussy now. But I'm craving the adrenaline from boxing I used to…

Kettlebell logging
(Sorry if this has already been covered ...) For all you peeps working out with the kettlebell ... how are you logging this in your exercise journals? I put it as calisthenics ... but was curious how everyone else is categorizing it. Don't know if that's the most accurate category or not. Thanks for your input! :smile:

Low impact, high intensity?
Hi everyone! I'm a long time workouter (is that a word?) - I've always dug the high impact, high intensity stuff - Jazzercise initially, then kickboxing, Tae Bo and Turbojam. After 15 years or so my knees started hurting from it all, and they really act up anymore when I do anything high impact with the legs (jumping,…
