I bought mine at a sporting goods store, it was a little expensive though I paid $99 for it, it is a Polar Brand. But you can get inexpensive ones as well, mine has a few more bells and whistles that I don't even use, but I really didn't know what I wanted at the time I bought it. Make sure to buy one that has a watch and a strap to go around your chest. I would imagine you could get one at Wal mart, do you guys have Wal marts there? I think you might could get one for $50 or less. Check them out next time your shopping out. It's just nice to know the actual calories burned for your workout. I know Tony say's you can burn up to 600 calories with his workout. Maybe so with Classic, but that would be constant Bringing it throughout. I am doing the lean and I burn anywhere from 180 today for Stretch X (Which is kind of a iffy number considering I never really got up in my fat burning zone much) to 510 for Arms and Shoulders Workout. I can burn more in a strength training session than Cardio it seems, but I do them all as they come up...I think you do a lot more strength in the classic then I do in the Lean. <BR/><BR/>And Yes, I would definitely use the measurements that you had before, that will give you something to go on. Take some more now and every 2-4 weeks to see progress. Measurements are a much better indicator than the scale for sure. I maily just like to know where my waist, abdominal (around Belly button area) and Hips are going and probably my thighs as well. I don't want bigger thighs, I would really like to trim them down some, thats what I'm hoping. I like the strength but would not like the bulk in them. I heard once that if you don't want to bulk up the thighs to use lighter to no weights and do more reps when it comes to leg work (lunges and squats and such), so thats what I am trying...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do WOWY every time I exercise, why not you may even win something.<BR/><BR/>Mark and I watched "The Holiday", it was good, a few not so good parts again but for the most part we liked it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the spiritual encouragement, I do need that more than anything right now. I have really filled my life with things that take a lot of my time, and leaving Gods time short to none.:( Don't watch gladiaters, never have. There is only so much time, I don't ever sit and watch TV, except for the few shows that I tape from season to season. We like Surviver, I absolutely love the Biggest Loser and Big Fans of 24. Right now I am taping "So you think you can dance" (one of my fav's) and I am taping the Mole tonight. We watched past season of the mole and enjoyed it until it went off the air for a couple of years, I don't think it's as popular, but I will tape it tonight and see if it grabs me. We watch our taped shows on the weekends only. No TV during the week, at least not for me, Mark he's another story...<BR/><BR/>I always envied night people for there ability to stay up late with energy and get stuff done. Me, I have that same energy in the morning. It takes all kinds huh? Alright I've talked your ear off for now. Have a great day! I really enjoy your blog, its real people doing real things...
