Polar F7
Hi everyone, Just curious to find out other ppls experience with their HR monitors. My Suunto gave up the ghost after about 5 years and I replaced with a Polar F7.

Pasta
I'm sorry everyone I know this topic has been posted a million times but I'm still confused and can't find an answer to my specific area of confusion! UK based looking at Sainsbury's Penne calories (not fresh Pasta) I totally understand the logic of weighing Pasta dry as during cooking the only weight added is by water…

Heart Rate Monitor
Hi everyone. Anyone else had this experience? My HRM has been playing up lately and won't pick up my heart rate, or when ir does it gives me a heart rate of something stupid like 40 even if I'm working flat out. It hasn't been very long since I replaced the battery of the watch and in the past the watch has always warned…

P90X .....help a stupid person out
Just working out my calorie intake for P90x. Weight 125 x 10 = 1250 Not sure if I have understood the next step correctly. I do a desk job so my only real activity comes from my workouts.

My Insanity Experience
I am calling this post my Insanity experience because I refuse to say journey, journey is far to overused by reality show wannabes. Anyway it's more of a blog I guess and my thoughts on the programme. I started at 132lbs and finished at 125lbs so lost 7lbs in total. Which I think is a respectable loss given my starting…

Strength ??? Heavy Lifting?? What should I do next?
Ok, I am hoping for some advise if possible please. I have just finished Insanity which was great but flared up an ongoing hamstring injury which I really need to sort out once and for all.

Heart Rate monitor and max heart rate
Hi all, hav a random question. I hav a Sunnto HRM, fairly decent one with a chest strap. In the settings of my HRM my MAX heart rate is set at 230. I think this must be a default setting as I am pretty confident I have never recorded a reading of 230!!!! My highest reading I've ever seen on it was probably 200/205 and that…

Insanity Recovery week
Anyone else out there doing/done Recovery week of Insanity. I'm interested to hear people opinions on it. I did day 1 last night and I wasn't a fan. I'm not going to skip it becuase it is part of the programme but, yeah not a fan. I think firstly because it felt so slow paced compared to what I was used to in Month 1. I…
