scosche wireless "my trek" heart rate monitor
I saw an ad in a magazine for a Scosche MyTrek wireless heart rate monitor. Basically, it wraps around your forearm and sends your HR to your iPhone (soon to be android too). It's sold at Target and other locations for about $125. I'm curious if anyone has any opinion on them. I just hate the thought of the chest straps…

does spinning + big girl = insanity ?
I love to use the bike (fitness, non-spinning type) at my gym and I have often thought of trying a spinning class but I'm scared to death. Here is why...

too much energy after working out or crash later
Does anyone else get too much energy after working out? Sometimes I workout about two hours before bed and I find it difficult to sleep because it feels like I just have too much energy. I eat dinner and I just can't sit still and literally have to get up and move. -- If I workout in the morning on my days off, I feel…

male motivators
I'm trying to figure out how to phrase this without coming off wrong. I'm sort of new (again) to MFP and enjoy the message boards for the occasional motivation from others success stories, tips, etc. I've found I am more of a "male-type thinker" than a "female-type thinker" when it comes to motivating myself.
