New Piece of Gear


I just wanted to share that I finally got a new heart rate monitor. 
 I am S-T-O-K-E-D!!! I started using a heart rate monitor 3 years ago when I first started spinning at the YMCA.  I was curious to see what my heart rate was when I was huffing and puffing and  ready to pass out.  My first heart rate monitor was the Polar FT11   Loved, Loved, Loved, my FT11, but Polar does not make the Ft11 anymore.   Make a long story short, after 3 years of use, the battery died.  After months of being without my heart rate monitor, which drove me crazy when I was in the gym working out,  I went out yesterday and bought a Polar FT7.   It got really good reviews, and is comparable to my FT11.   I can't say enough good things about this brand.  My new Polar FT7 like the FT11 is pretty basic, it does just what I need it to do: heart rate, calorie counter, and fat burning zones, oh and I can upload the data to the Polar website to analyze my workouts.  But the thing I like about it most is that I don't have to spend and extra $50.00 sending it in for a battery replacement.  Whoo Hoo!!  Oh yeah, did I mention it was RED??? One of my favorite colors!! LoL...

About Me

” All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.” ~Ralph Ellison
