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™‚

    I walk on my treadmill or the hike and bike trail most days of the week and try to watch what I eat and drink plenty of water.

  16. Jesselyn A/Jesstinger says

    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!

    I run 5k’s and am planning on stepping up to sprint triathlons in the future, so a heart rate monitor like this is definitely on my wish list

  25. Cindy Westerhaus says

    I work out pretty often. I either hike the surrounding mountains in the Fall-Spring, or on my stepper or treadmill in my garage. I also lift free weights and do pilates. I do pretty much anything to feel younger than my 43 years.

  29. Stacy says

  63. Jessica says

    I run and walk a lot (at least 25 miles per week) and recently, my Garmin watch just broke. I’d love to try this one out since my heart rate monitor on my old watch didn’t work well! Thanks for the opportunity!

  64. Eileen says

    I just got started again on the treadmill after almost 3 years “down”…it’s kicking my butt, and I have to go slow due to some health issues but I know that even if only small steps at a time, I will regain some of my strength again. thanks!
