Question
I recently bought myself a Garmin Heart Rate monitor watch with a strap that goes around my body and a pedometer that I have to attach to me training shoes.The watch shows my heart rate,distance and calories burned and I was wondering how accurate it is?

Answer
Hi there Tiaan!
Many reviews list this product as highly accurate, though I cannot speak of its accuracy without monitoring you myself. Many reports post an important reminder to wet the contacts for an accurate reading. You can use water, or simply rub some spit on in a pinch, but popular recommendations are to swing by a running store and getting a bottle of gel as it renders more accurate readings.

Hi Lisa. Sometimes when I exercise, my muscles are sore the next day. Other times, they feel 100% the next day, but after two days they are sore. What is the reason for this?

Good morning Lisa, I just kicked into the habit of exercising (it’s my second consecutive week at the gym) all is going well my fitness is building up gradually but sometimes if I go in real hard I feel nauseous. What is the cause? Could it be my diet? Yesterday the last meal I had was a piece of steak, green salad and sweet potato ( also had a packet of popcorn later) but I had to throw up, also it was not lactic acid.

HI Lisa,
I have recently come across some articles that say body weight exercises/training yield better fitness results than when using equipment such as dumbbells, kettle bells and the like. With all this information bombarding us in regards to what yields better results, what the latest craze/trend in fitness is and the like, would you recommend that incorporating aspects of these different trends into your exercise routine would probably be the best option?
