Try the femoral artery. It is good for getting to know girls better. ;-)

Yeah, that would be a start...
Then again, I've reached the point now where I take up to 4 hours of
dance classes per week. (And 3 hours of that is Rock & Roll.) Obviously
[or perhaps not?] a one hour class isn't a continuous one hour workout.
You stand around waiting for whoever to sort out the next CD. You
practice a move through, stop, try it again, stop and try again. You
dance a combination of moves and then have a rest. Still, it's certainly
better than nothing.
The best part about dancing, of course, is that it's *fun*. It makes you
*want* to do it. And let's face it, if you enjoy doing something, you're
way more likely to keep doing it more and more often.
Still, unless I get to the point where I dance every single day [which
would probably be quite expensive], I think I probably am going to have
to do something else as well.

Part of the reason I bought this heart monitor was to see if I make any
improvement over time. (Although now I'm just not sure whether it
actually *works* or not...)

...so, *not* cheese on toast then?

Sounds like much better than nothing, but if you really want to get into
better shape in a rational amount of time, you need that (about) 1 hour of
cardio 5 or 6 times a week (preferably 6).
Walking is good exercise because it's easy to do even for someone who is
in bad shape, and doesn't require a lot of fitness to begin with. As long
as you walking pace is fast enough (you get a bit exhausted and break a
sweat) it's as good as going to the gym.

Cheese is ok (lots of protein, no carbs), but of course in moderation,
as everything else. Toast is usually made of white bread, which has
staggering amounts of carbohydrates. If it's basically the *only* source
of carbs you have (ie. you don't eat candy and such), then it's ok, but
don't exaggerate.
From your photos I don't think you are overweight, so you don't have to
watch so much your carb intake, as long as your diet is *balanced* and
healthy. Just don't go overboard. Eating candy and pastries all day long
is a bad idea no matter what your weight or fitness. (If nothing else, too
much sugar increases the risk of diabetes and caries, and via that indirectly
heart problems.)

I envision the pick-up line: "Hey, can I palpate your pulse from your
femoral artery? For scientific purposes only."

Hell man, if *that* worked, scientists would get laid all the time! ;-)

I was thinking of it as a pressure point, not comfortable.
