How accurate are heart rate monitors?
Hi All! I've been using my Polar FT4 watch while exercising and I was wondering how accurate it is? I burn what I would expect to burn in Body Pump for example, but sometimes I go for a walk round the local loch (takes about an hour or so to get round it) and it tells me I burn 600-odd calories which I wouldn't really…

Body Pump
Hi All I'm just getting back into exercising and I've always enjoyed Body Pump (the fastest results I've ever had came from taking this class).

Sorta New!
Hey all! I'm sorta new in as much as I've had the app for ages, have used it on and off, but wasn't aware of the community on here (which I think is amazing!) I'm a bit of a yoyo dieter - I was 14st 10lbs at one point (put 2 stone on in one year, and the rest pretty rapidly the next year - I consider my normal weight to be…

Are my salads too big/fattening?
Hi all! I realise this may sound like a silly question, but I'm wondering if the salads I have are too big or fattening. I have got to the stage I feel guilty having a large meal because I've been eating little often. I was really hungry today and In my salad I had: lettuce, red pepper, cucumber and beetroot. I had a…
