If I may ask, why would you want to monitor your heart rate? | ||

Using the pussypad is dangerous, gay and will get you forever banished from this forum. A comment like this is immature and pretty unacceptable imo. I would hate for someone to feel uncomfortable posting in this thread because of a negative attitude. I definitely agree that there are times when people need to be told to "man up", but I can't help but feel there are better ways of doing so. Thanks. If you have a problem with this go to 4chan. | ||

To those doing coan/phillipi: Your lower back is going to hate you. Train hard but recover harder and it will give you so much.

Just make sure you compare it to yourself but not some arbitrary number. | ||

Age: 20 || Height: 5'11" || Weight: 301lbs Starting Date: 1/1/12 || Goal Date: 12/31/12 Weight goals -- Lose 130-150lbs. Down from 355 during summer 2011 currently. Training goals -- Start lifting some weights after cardio. Never lifted before so I'm only going in with the goal of having another fun activity that isn't cardio. Nutrition goals -- Stay around 2000 calories a day while drinking mostly water and lowering sodium intake. Sleep goals -- Sleep more than 4 hours at a time. After 3 months of working on weight loss I lost 50 pounds during the summer last year and I plan on getting back on it this spring. Starting new years day I started walking/jogging and playing basketball again. Soon as the semester at school starts I'll be able to lift in the gym. Hopefully if I keep up a good exercising schedule and good diet for the next 5 months by summer I'll have lost 50-60 more  | ||

Nutrition goals -- Stay around 2000 calories a day while drinking mostly water and lowering sodium intake. Sleep goals -- Sleep more than 4 hours at a time. It is normally better to do it the other way around. Your lifting-performance suffers after longer cardio sessions, not su much the other way around (and when you are doing cardio for weight loss, the performance aspect doesn't really matter, but lifting heavier is always better). Good luck to you, you are in a similar weight-range as me, so I am curious to see your results. | ||
