Heart Rate Monitors
For my first official entry, I’ll start with one of my favorite gadgets of all time, the heart rate monitor. To date, it has been the most beneficial. It has transformed me from leading a relatively sedentary lifestyle to one where my workouts have been targeted to specific goals. I don’t think I would have been able to train properly to even attempt at starting an Ironman event much less finish one.
The transformation started one day in early 2003 when a routine medical checkup revealed an elevated cholesterol level and high blood pressure. Though not quite life-threatening, I was a little concerned. I thought regular weekend mountain bike rides with friends were sufficient but it was not.
