The Timex Ironman Road Trainer heart rate monitor offers the complete package for improving your overall fitness level. In my review I talk about what features stand out.
I’ve always liked Timex watches. Ever since they decided to enter the sports watch and cardiac pace gauge category I’ve been keeping an eye out for what they can bring to the table. Well, from what I’ve seen so far the Timex quality and workmanship that they apply to their standard watches has carried over into the sports watch category as well.
Timex has a wide variety of different models on the market. Probably the one that offers the best-rounded …

The Garmin Forerunner 110 sports watch has all of the basic features you need like GPS tracking, and is one of the least expensive of all of the Garmin models. Find out more in my review.
When it comes to exercise sometimes less technology is better. Now I’m not talking about running barefoot in the streets of Manhattan wearing just a loincloth. (Although some people do run barefoot and swear by it – however they typically don’t wear just a loincloth. ) What I am talking about with less tech though is a scaled down Garmin fitness watch, namely the 110.
If you’ve used …

I may not be a professional athlete, but I want to do well in the competitions that I do compete in, and I want to show improvement over time. Basically I want to look at the me of 10 years ago and say, wow, I’m in better shape now than I was then. As you get older, this gets much harder to achieve.

The Polar FT7 heart rate monitor is fun and simple to operate. It has all of the basic tracking features to keep you on the path to better fitness. Read my review to find out more.
In today’s environment it’s very easy to suffer from information overload. We have too much information flowing in and not enough time to process it or decide how to act upon it. The same can be said for cardiac beat gauges. Some people love knowing every detail about their training, like what was their pulse rate when they were at an altitude of 1,000 feet above sea level on a …

The Polar FT4 heart rate monitor is comfortable and stylish. You can program and track your heart rate in a preset zone while you work out and see how many calories you’ve burned.
For a basic all around fitness monitor you can’t go wrong with the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor. A lot of folks don’t need GPS tracking and advanced software to track and improve their training and fitness levels. A good basic heart rate monitor that will record 10 training sessions of data is just perfect. The Polar FT4 offers all that and more and it’s very reasonably priced for a standard heart rate monitor. …

My sister was competing in a duathlon a few weeks ago. It was a run/bike combo with a 10K run followed by a 50K bike ride. Now I’m just a runner myself. I just haven’t yet put out the extra cash and made the serious investment in a nice bike and all the other accessories you need to get into biking. But I do know that after running a 10K I’m …
