Keeping Your Heart Healthy!

Please Share!

Last month was American Heart Awareness Month. Since I have started my Slim-Fast 3-2-1 plan, I have been more aware of my health and my heart. I have been paying more attention to not only what I eat, but how I feel too.

I have also recently started working out again and doing cardio! I am excited about this because I know that if I stick with this, I WILL be losing all my weight and start looking like me again ๐Ÿ™‚

To help with my cardio workouts, I received the Sportline Cardio 660 Coded Heart Rate Monitor and the Reebok Heart rate Monitor Watch without the chest strap to review.

The first thing I noticed about both of these products were that they are pretty cute and stylish! I love that ๐Ÿ™‚ The Sportline Cardio Heart Rate Monitor is awesome! It is easy to use and it has some great features such as:

*Heart Rate Tracking, BPM and percentage of Max

*Calorie and Fat Burning Tracker (this is a BIG thing for me and I love this feature)

*A customizable user profile (fun!)

*Coded Chest Strap to Eliminate interferences

*Easy Setup and Use With Dedicated Heart Rate Button

*Fat Burn Zone Indicator (love this one too!)

*Exercise Memory and 50 Lap Timer

The Sportline Cardio Coded Heart Rate Monitor also is offered in men’s and it retails for $69.99 at Big 5, REI and other retailers.

I like the looks of this monitor and so far it has been an awesome companion when I do my cardio workouts!

The Reebok InTouch Heart rate Monitor Watch without the chest strap Fitness Watch is very cool too! The Reebok InTouch Heart Rate Monitor allows me to know that I am burning more fat because I am in the right zone. No second guessing and I love that. There is no chest strap needed, you simply touch the face of the monitor to find out your heart rate.

This also features:

*Step and Distance Tracking

*Speed Monitor (keeps you at that perfect pace)

*Fit Zone Indicator (this helps you know when you are in the perfect spot for extra calories burned and fat!)

*Calories Burned Tracker (LOVE)

*Super Easy to Set Up and Use ( set up with your gender,age, weight etc..!)

*Very Soft and Pliable Band and Comfortable too!

This monitor also has a light button on the side, so you can easily press it if you are exercising in the evenings or early mornings. When you are in your “target zone” a little icon will light up at the bottom of the screen, so you know!

I am still learning about these wonderful devices and really like using them when I workout. I JUST started my cardio workouts, so I have not been able to use these all that much just yet, but I have used them and really like what I am seeing so far. These are great for anyone who is heart conscious and wants to get fit and healthy again! I think that is all of us ๐Ÿ™‚

Buy

You can purchase these monitors on Amazon.com!

    Aside from eating right, and generally trying to take good care of myself, I also am taking a special pulmonary and cardio physical rehab class designed to increase all- around endurance, fitness and control.

    Now that Spring is coming (already here?) I can transfer my new-found capability to outdoor exercise and enjoy the fresh and beauty of nature while being able to enjoy it for the first time in a long time!
