How do you like your Garmin HRM & band?
Curious what experience others have had with the durability of the Garmin HRM transmitters and bands. In particular the newest soft band (HRM3 bands with the anti static fabric on the outside). I got a Vivofit a couple days a go and my brand new HRM was DOA right out if the box. I'm annoyed, but Garmin support was…

C25K week 5 day 1 tomorrow, nervous!!
My 13 year old son and I are doing C25K. We've done good so far. We finished week 4 last week and while the 5 min runs were challenging, they weren't too tough (ie- I didn't feel on the verge of death). I finished the week feeling great and really enjoying my last run. My 13 year old, not so much. He's at an ideal body…

C25k w5d2, smoked it!!
Woohoo! Not only did I finish the official C25k workout, on my way back home I felt so good I just ran. Hit a bit over .80 miles straight running before turning off to head to my house. I feel great. It felt great to just run. That's the furthest I've run since getting hit by a truck out on a run a little over three years…

If you're just starting (or, like me restarting) your fitness journey this is a great message. I heard it loud and clear (even…

I Love HIIT and body weight exercises and the functional muscle they build, but I was in a bad accident a few years ago and shattered my right…

Logging miles, Too many calories burned woes
I think this subject has probably been about beat to death, but maybe I'm missing something anyway. I walk between 2.5-6 miles a day, usually at least 6 days a week. I know MFP over estimates calories burned so I've been entering a much shorter time duration at the pace I walk at to lower the calorie count. I'd like to…

New here but not to the routine :)
Hi Y'all, Thought I'd post an intro real quick just in case I need to post or comment later on. I'm a SAHM to 5 awesome kids. I come from a long line of, uh-hum, 'healthy' sized women. Think Scandinavian Viking women, that's me and my family. :) Thankfully I am quite healthy despite being too darn fat. 3 years ago after…
