Resting on rest day? Yay/Nay?
I just finished my first week of Insanity today [YAY!!] and tomorrow is my rest day. I feel pretty good overall as far as soreness goes. My calves have hated me since day one and only the top portion of my abdomen parts.. I guess I'm weird about keeping my core tight and only pull in the top half. Go figure. I'm a work in…

Troubleshooting Sportline 660 HRM
Does anyone else have this HRM that could help me out? My husband bought a Sportline Cardio 660 HRM for me but I can't get the blasted thing to work. When I synched the chest strap with the watch, it reads my heartbeat fine but once I set it to track heart rate and calories burn.. I get squat. Not even a little flicker out…

A lot about breaking plateau.. what about preventing?
I've seen a lot of posts about breaking plateaus but none really [that I know of, only started posting within the last week] about preventing plateaus. Was just wondering if anyone had any tips on preventing that from happening? Do you fluctuate daily cal intake? Just wondering.

Need help choosing a HRM
I would prefer a HRM that is just a watch, they are not as expensive as the ones with straps. But my question is, are they just as reliable? They watch only ones that I have looked at just have you press one of your fingers on the metal plate on the back of it and you get a reading for calorie burn that way. Im assuming…
