    heartrate monitor recomendation (fathers day)

    I've been looking at the polar ft60. It has a program that will tell you how much to exercise in a week and at what levels to either lose weight, or increase your fitness. You can then buy the foot pod for running.

    Who One Star Rates a Friggin' Birthday Thread?!?

    There is a difference between the majority who just ignore the star ratings and those that feel hurt/harmed/defamed by it. I'm saying I think most people who expressed a opinion in this topic did not think people should feel so effected by it. They themselves ignore it or it has no effect on...

    Who One Star Rates a Friggin' Birthday Thread?!?

    I don't think you can say a majority of the members think the star rating is hurtful. Taking a look at just this topic, of the people who had a opinion it's about 8 that agree with you and 11 that don't care and just ignore the star ratings. This is a forum, and I'm in the camp that says...

    Getting Out of The Rut - Saturday

    Morning All, The sun is out again today. I feel like a bear waking up from the winter. I think my body goes into hibernation during the winter. I'm excited I bench pressed 40# last night. I still gave up on CC after 25 minutes. I need to do better. I have a scale that does body fat...

    Getting Out Of The Rut - Friday

    I have the GWF. I don't wear it as often as I used to. I have found that when doing weight training it does not calculate my calorie burn correctly. I think it is way low in that area. I noticed that it takes a couple of days for the scale to show any movement after I know that my calorie...

    Who One Star Rates a Friggin' Birthday Thread?!?

    I'm sorry that Lauramax in her paranoia singled you out wrongly. I don't know who the others she claims to be against her are either. She owes you an apology. And Jonezie is trying to moderate the forum again. Who cares what is starred, bringing attention to it only feeds into the star...

    Getting out of the Rut Thursday

    Robin - Have a GREAT vacation !!!! I played my tennis match tonight. My stomach was better today so I was able to eat something for energy. I was playing a very young lady who teaches phys-ed, probably 1/2 my age. She could run ! I was very happy that I was moving my feet in this match...

    Slwitt - take care with bronchitis. How are the kids ? I did not workout yesterday. I've had some sort of stomach upset for the past few days. I'm eating bananas, bread and drinking coke. Must have eaten a ton of bread because my scale did not move lately. I'm really impressed with the...

    Any sugg. to get 5yr old boy to not wear pull-up at pm?

    I wet the bed until I was like 12. I was such a deep sleeper that I would dream about going to the bathroom and would wake up going. I had to visualize a steel door closing down on my bladder at night. I would tell myself that the door is shut and the door would not open unless I was awake...

    Knee Injury ?

    Depends on what is torn. I had a meniscus tear and waited a year to see if it would heal. It did not and I had to have surgery. You would have to stop all weight bearing exercises on the knee and do only band work to help strengthen the quads. I had a $3k deductable and I paid $700 for a...
