Jumping off of LiveStrong's sinking ship!

DO NOT RELY ON ACCURACY OF MFP CALS BURNED
I keep seeing people surprised by the fact that their HRM says they burned less than the cals burned on the site. It’s pretty logical if you think about it: This site cannot tell how "INTENSE" you are working out.

Motivational Quotes
Most beginning athletes are unwilling to drive themselves hard enough. They should punish themselves and then rest adequately, only to increase the output of effort after the rest. Long hours of work made up of many short, high-speed efforts interspersed with periods of milder activity seem to be the best enduract-training…

Motivational Quotes
Experience shows that an athlete who forces himself to the limit can keep going as long as necessary. This mean that ordinary effort will not tap or release the tremendous store of reserve power latent in the human body. Extraordinary effort, highly emotionalized conditions or a true determination to win at all costs will…
