I wonder how important the alarms are that are supposed to keep you in your zones, as well as presets for different zones. Since I’ve never used one, it’s hard to know what I will want at first. It sort of seems like I should just get a bare bones inexpensive model that just shows current heart rate. I’ve seen a Timex I like – comes with Indiglo and you can change the battery on your own. Are all the extra features worth it?

My boyfriend is very handsome. He gets approached all the time to be a model and through his social groups he is always meeting models and having people approach him on trains to hit on him. He reminds me all the time that he loves me and would never, bless his heart, cheat on me. I have never been so absorbed in looks. I always thought of myself at best attractive with a great personality. I know he think models are nothing special and usually fairly daft and dull. But I just want to feel good about myself, and pretty. And I hate the attention he gets even walking down the street with me. What can I do?

So, I have always wanted to learn how to fly – since I learned how to talk I have wanted to be a pilot… but since I’m Middle Eastern, and since between my childhood and my adult life, a little event called 9/11 occurred, I had to give up on this dream…
Actually I was building little RC planes before 2001 – I was in High School – I was also playing flight simulators, and was on a track to go into the aerospace business…
But several months after the events, my dad found out that I continued with my hobby, and put an end to it – he told me that I was putting the family in danger – he got rid of my flight simulator, and destroyed all of my RC planes and books relating to airplanes…
to this day, I think he did the prudent thing… because going to flight school would mean that I would suddenly become a prime “terror suspect.” And having blueprints, circuits, and materials for building radio controlled airplanes would also look suspicious…
I’m in my 20′s now, and I finished a BA degree in Philosophy/English… but I still want to fly… I don’t have the money and I’m afraid to do it (for political reasons)…
I know it is not prudent, because it will give the government the excuse they want to throw another young Middle Eastern man jail… but should I do it anyway…
I have an older “Healthrider” (Healthrider.com) , and I want to find the best book to explain heart rate training. Also, any advice about monitors would be appreciated. The Healthrider doesn’t have any elecronics, so I’ll be buying a monitor I can wear. I’ve looked at all the Oregon Scientific models, and the ones that speak seem like a good idea. Do you think they are a good idea or just a good marketing idea? It’s very likely that I will only be using the monitor on this machine, as I don’t do any running or other outdoor training (other than walking).
I’m a complete novice about this subject.
I’m 62 yr.s old, 150 lb., approx. 16% body fat. Excellent health, never had any health issues. Moderate exercise (mostly biking, swimming, walking) most of my life.
