High Intensity Training: From Running Shoes to CrossFit Shoes
I have been doing CrossFit and other intense exercises for nearly two years with a Brooks running shoes. It's very comfortable because of it's thick padding although it's not a good fit for swift movements and burpees (too slippery).

Just had my moles excised, is there any exercise I can do without causing pressure on the tight?
I had 2 moles on my right tight by the ellipse excision method. The stitches will be removed in 10 days and the doctor told me that I shouldn't do any exercise in 7 days as the sweat might irritate the skin and worse it might stretch or break the suture.

REFORMED meat and FORMED meat
I was looking at Subway's nutrition fact and it says that it's turkey breast is a reformed meat whereas it's ham is a formed meat. What is the difference between REFORMED meat and FORMED meat? Are they unhealthy? How do they differ from 'processed meat'?

POLAR FT4: How often do you have to wet the electrodes?
How can I use it for a long hour walk? Do you have to keep the electrode wet ALL the time? It's hard to sweat at this weather unless I'm wearing 4-5 layers of clothing. Today I walked for 4 hours at a speed of 3.5mph and I hardly sweat at all.
