Does anyone else have a problem with too high of heart rate?
Hi there, How do you manage your heart rate while working out? I've done a lot of reading that suggests anything over 85% of your max heart rate can be dangerous. I am 21 so my max heart rate is 199. I often see my heart rate between 186-190. Is this dangerous? Is there a way to monitor it while working out? Thanks!

I lost 4.5 pounds in a week. How?
Hello, I am trying to figure out how i lost 4.5 pounds in a week. I ate 1250 calories a day and had 2 weight lifting sessions and 4 cardio sessions. Surely, this was not worth 15,750 cals? (3500 in a pound x 4.5) Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cheat day/Cheat meal
I've always been told by trainers/dieticians and other's working out that i should allow time for "Cheating".
