Heart rate as an effort measurement

A question about : Heart rate as an effort measurement

I was wondering if anyone else has observed this phenomenon with their own heart rate:

It doesn't seem to matter how hard I work out, how fast I run, how brutal an Insanity interval, etc.., I cannot seem to get my heart rate over 120 beats per minute. In fact 100 is the usual highest, and I have delved into the rarified realm of 120 perhaps only once or twice.

Recommendation for home fitness dvd for small house?

A question about : Recommendation for home fitness dvd for small house?

I live in a little cottage with low ceilings and previous videos have asked me to do 10 paces to the left, or throw my arms up in the air etc. My living room will only allow say 3 paces (or 4 without furniture) and the ceiling is at most a ft above my head, in one room it's even lower - I'm sure not everyone has a gym sized house so has anyone come across any dvds that keep things fairly contained? A basic exercise routine is all I want.

Pure Gym

A question about : Pure Gym

Has anyone ever joined on a hard-working offer? How long has it been before the gym actually opened?

I joined 2 weeks ago, left my old gym and there seems to be no sign of Pure Gym actually opening. I have emailed but no reply. On Twitter they say they can't say when it will open.

I will have to rejoin my old gym for a minimum of 3 months at this rate, which will negate any savings I will make by being with Pure Gym instead!

LA Fitness Gym Membership Cancelation

A question about : LA Fitness Gym Membership Cancelation

Hi all,

After some advice regarding LA Fitness and cancelling my gym membership with them. I am sorry upfront but this is going to be rather long as I want to give all the information.

I joined an LA Fitness gym in Bedford on 11/06/2014. This was under a rolling 1 month contract. I paid monthly via a direct debit which comes out of my account the 31st of every month.

New Garmin

A question about : New Garmin

Hi I have used a Garmin 205 for a number of years but have lost it and I am on the hunt for a new one. I called into Sweatshop and they said that tomtom was now competing with Garmin.

I don't need to download my times onto a pc and I did not use many of the facilities on the Garmin nor did I use the heart rate monitor. I am basically looking for my total time, distance and run average and other basic information.

Going The Darts

A question about : Going The Darts

Hi
I'm going to watch the Darts in Frankfurt in June as was wondering if anyone has any information on going.

I'm trying to understand what the difference is between seated & table to free seating.

I understand that seated & table is what we can see on the TV where everyone is. But is free seating any less of an experience.

The reason for asking is that the seat & table tickets are already sold out but available from a different site but more expensive.

Any advice would be appreciated
