Have you ever....
Has anyone ever worn their HRM all day just to see what your calorie burn for the day was? I did it yesterday and burned over 3000 calories (could that be right?) without any exercise added in for the day.

Which weighs more?
I am constantly reading on posts that muscle weighs more than fat. Is this really true? No! 1 pound of muscle weighs the same as 1 pound of fat, but that being said 1 pound of muscle takes up less space than 1 pound of fat.
