Women wearing a Polar HRM Wear-Link chest strap
The scant user guide shows it on a male - so I assume this goes right under my breasts? For those who use this type, what kind of bra do you wear? Because right where the guide shows that the transmitter part goes it right at the apex of my big underwire bra (I'm a DDD) and I can't see the two fitting together. Does this…

Is losing 2 lbs a week unrealistic under 200 lbs?
Today I went under 240 and so I redid my numbers. I dropped from 1240/day to 1220/day. And I'm only at 239. Except for one week recently when I didn't lose anything I've been losing the 2 lbs a week I want to lose. But then I realized, hey wait, I'm only at 1220....and you're not supposed to go below 1200 so......how's…

Exercise noob, I'm sorry - confused on "fat burn" on HRM

But, it is my first time using my Polar FT7. Maybe the electrodes weren't wet enough, maybe it wasn't tight enough, maybe it wasn't in…

Currently I'm at 250; I hve fibromyalgia, an injured disc or two, acute tennis elbow and terrible knees. :) Find exercises that am able to do that don't kill my back and put me on sedentary + muscle relaxers is tough.

Step arobics...but using the Wii Fit board - help calculatin
So I'm trying to input my exercise, which is step aerobics done on my own (i.e. quite a bit faster than Wii Fit has you doing it) and the only choices for Step Aerobics are using boards that are WAY higher than the Wii's. The database lists as the smallest 6-8" rise. The Wii is only a 2" rise. I'm trying to google for…
