Advice: sports wear for husband
Christmas present time. I know he is getting low on gym wear, and I also know he's been talking about looking at swapping to all natural fibres ( his other clothes are) because he has psoriasis.

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…

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…

Municipal gyms

Where can I buy a Gym(combination) locker for under 3 pounds?
Is 3 pounds or so for a padlock from 'the Gym group' a good deal? Also are combination locks better than conventional lock with a key? I imagine resetting a combination lock isn't the hardest thing in the world and also there's a risk with a conventional lock that somebody else might have exactly the same lock as me !
