   Technology just keeps getting better and better all the time.  Heart rate monitors are essential to your fitness routine.  They let you know when you are working too hard, or not working hard enough.  Typical heart rate monitors have a strap you wear around your upper rib cage along with a watch you wear to constantly detect your heart rate.  The goal is to have a heart rate of 130 or above for an average of 30 minutes (minimum) to be in an aerobic zone. 

Actitrainer’s new gadget not only displays your heart rate, it also displays calories burned, distance traveled, sleep assessment, nutritional analysis, pace, etc., and then displays them in real time with chart analysis.   I have a feeling my sleep assessment would return as “are you kidding me?”   I need to work on getting more sleep.  You do burn calories in your sleep, after all. 

What a fun tool to add to your fitness routine!  And anything that makes a grueling workout better gets high marks in my book!
