Polar loop / HRM7 Question
Hi guys. I have been using my Polar Loop for a while now and absolutely love it. But, all the sudden it seems to be reading my heart rate super high. Like, sitting on the couch and it's reading my heart rate at 130 BPM. I count off my pulse on either my wrist or neck and it comes to about 63 BPM. It has always tracked my…

Fitbit / Bodymedia / HRM
So, I have a Fitbit, and now someone just gave me a Bodymedia Fit, and I'm wondering what the difference is? I like my Fitbit and haven't had any complaints. But is the Bodymedia better? Does it function as a HRM at all? Thanks for any words of wisdom y'all can pass my way!

Holiday survival recipes?

My Day One: Redux
We can say I kinda followed IP, except for having problems sticking to it on the weekends, September through October.

Aerobic / Circuit Training Clarification
I was just wondering at what point are you no longer doing aerobics that incorporate weights and are officially doing circuit training. I have two videos that I'm doing.

Camping / Backpacking / Long Car rides
So, this last weekend was two, rather long, car trips and camping over night. I wind up eating really bad when camping/backpacking and on long car trips. Camping winds up being anything cooked on a stick and really hearty type foods. Car rides are easy/convenient drive thru type food. I'm looking for any suggestions and/or…

DVD Tracking For Exercise Log

I saw in another disscusion that someone was using circuit training, general, but it seems to give me a HUGE number of cals burned.
