[CardioTrainer Users] Does the CT use the Polar to determine calories burned AT ALL?

Hi All,

From what I've read, everyone says that using a heart rate monitor is
the best was to determine calories burned. I just started using the
Polar HRM linked to the CardioTrainer app through Bluetooth. I thought
that the HRM would make my calories burned more accurate. However,
after doing 30 minutes on a stationary bike (where the only
personalized input is the heart rate - no GPS feeding the app info on
distance and speed, etc.) last night and tonight, I had burned exactly
the same amount of calories. Out of curiosity, I told the app I was
doing it again, but I sat still on the couch for half an hour. The
calories said the exact same number while I was resting (about 75
beats/min) as when I was on the bike (about 125 beats/min). Seems to
me that CardioTrainer was just using a standard estimate based on my
weight and the type of exercise the way that that MFP would do. If so,
why did I just spend $80 for an item that makes a pretty chart full of
data that in no way factors into my final figures? Am I missing some
benefit to this? Was I just uninformed before I made the purchase?
Thanks!

They see you as the party of angry, white, southern, fundamentalist christians that is against every other group that is not like them. They realize that your token support for Israel is based simply on your end of world fantasies. That is why of 40 Jews in congress, only ONE is a Republican.

[ Men's Health ] Open Question : I need answers and i need them now!!! PLEASE!!?

Posted: 20 May 2011 03:17 PM PDT

To start off i have nothing against gay people. Ok well i have these problems. I am a man(age 18) and i keep watching gay porn. I do look at striaght porn but not as much as gay. I know that i am not gay because i have looked in my heart and said to myself that i am not gay/bi and i will never be. I do have strong feelings for women meaning that i do get an erection when i see very cute ladies, but i keep looking at mens ass not matter hot, ugly, fat, skinny. I even look at my friends ass. I have done research and read that to be gay means to miss or want your partner when there not around or to want to go to the movies with your partner and not be embarrased to be with them( dont make mean comments if this is not true). Please all i want to know is if the things that i am doing make me gay? And how can i stop what im doing forever? All i want is answers. THANK YOU SO MUCH! =)

[ Philosophy ] Open Question : End Of The World Tomorrow 5/21/11?

Posted: 20 May 2011 03:17 PM PDT

Do you think that the world will end tomorrow? A lot of people do. I don't know if I should believe that it's going to end or not. People say that it will be an apocalypse. That we will all be judged on who can go with God or who won't. And people are also saying that humans will all slowly start to extinct tomorrow but the world will continue without us. Then again, in the Bible it says that we will not know the day nor the time. So how can Saturday at 6:00 PM be correct? And also, if I believe in God then I should be fine, right? Please give me your views on this subject. It has me very worried.

Posted: 20 May 2011 03:17 PM PDT

It's been almost of year since we met. We moved in together three months after meeting. He is a great guy and shows so much love and respect. He had been married once before and is legally separated. He has two boys, 18yrs, and 12yrs. whom live with their mom. I wonder how long I should wait to expect some kind of ring from him. This would just make me feel more secure, that he is serious about us. Am I wrong for wanting a ring? I have mentioned it briefly in the past but didn't get to much of a reaction. Should I just hang in and see what happens? Should I keep investing my time with this person? Just feeling a little anxious! Cocoa

The book he wrote with his daughter (Blake Kernen who is 11!) as a response to the l!ber@l attack on capitalism that is taught in schools of the U.S. So does this point out that he is a conservative? Or is he fed up with l!ber@ls? What do you think? It surprises me because anyone associated with the NBC franchises tend to be l!ber@l. If indeed he is a conservative, kudos for him since he works at CNBC.

Posted: 20 May 2011 03:16 PM PDT

Im 13 and i got to a public school. I just wanted to know what you all think about short shorts. So this year we got this new rude teacher who thinks shes always right and thinks that she can do whatever she wants. Last year my school didnt care about us wearing short shorts, until this dumb teacher came along. About 3 weeks ago she came into our classroom and is like: The hot weather is coming up and i know that some of you girls love short shorts, but guess what your not allowed to wear them and if i catch you wearing them your gonna be in trouble. Well last weekend i went shopping and the only shorts that the mall had were SHORT SHORTS! So i bought 2 pairs. Today i decided to wear my new short shorts to school. So i was outside for recess and after 14 minutes the bell rang. We were all entering the building when i heard the teacher thats rude say outloud Stop! Those shorts look to short. I turned around and shes like come here. So i went over to her and shes like: If i catch you wearing those again im gonna send u home. LIKE WTF! THERE ARE NO OTHER SHORTS IN THE DANG STORES THAT I CAN BUY AND THAT I LIKE! im so ticked off! MY BUTT WASNT EVEN HANGING OUT and she thinks that they look bad and arent appropriate. So now i have like no shorts to wear to school becasue of HER!

But if I do it my life will like i said, pretty much return to normal and i will be much happier (in the long term) I have tried to take action twice and I wasn't assertive enough so it didn't work and now im super discouraged and worried that im never going to take action and im going to ruin my life. Anyways, leave me something quotes, advice, anything that might give me the courage to speak up.
