Great website for workout music!
Ok, first off, I'm kind of a Geek when it comes to tech stuff. I get a newsletter called Lifehacker, and it gave a tip about a great website for music for working out, or for runners. I've adapted it for my elliptical workouts. It's called JOG.FM. You go to this site, register, and then set up a playlist based on long it…

Heart Rate Monitor - Chest Strap necessary?
I've only been here for 3 1/2 weeks, and my exercise of choice at this point is my elliptical machne. I hope to add walking or maybe running later, if time permits. I'd like to get a heart rate monitor to see what my calorie burn is, and to see when I'm in my target zone. There are such a wide assortment of HRM's…

Under calorie goal a good thing? Im confused
Ok, all. I read a great link on here that explains why you need to "eat" your exercise calories. I'm a convert, and believe I've been eating too few calories. So, if you should eat the calories that MFP sets as your NET calories, why when someone posts their diary for the day, and the message says that "JDOE" was under…
