Garmin Heart Monitor
When you’re working out, how do you keep track of how you’re doing? Do you know the best way to maximize your workout is to stay within your target heart rate zone? Without a heart rate monitor you have to stop frequently to check your pulse, and you have no accurate way of tracking how many calories you’re burning. The Garmin FR70 Heart Rate Monitor:
* Helps you stay motivated and accomplish your fitness goals with a sleek fitness watch plus workout tool that tracks your time, heart rate and calories burned
* Tracks time, heart rate and calories
* Provides instant feedback about your workout
* Wirelessly transfers your data
* Features a fresh new look and a comfortable wristband
* Calculates time, heart rate and calories
* Is water resistant to 50 meters
* Is pink and black
I know the importance of staying in your target heart rate zone and was excited to try a new heart rate monitor with so many great features. I shared my favorite features and how I’ve been using the Garmin FR70 in my FR70 Heart Rate Monitor Review.

Break Pal Review

Break Pal
Obviously, I spend some time at the computer. Lately, it’s been more than usual as I have had A LOT of work all at once. I often sit while the kids do less of the hands-on homeschool work like worksheets but still need me nearby for help. I like to workout regularly, but particularly during times I am busier than usual like now it’s hard to fit in longer workouts, so what am I to do? Well, I was recently introduced to Break Pal.
We all know working out is REALLY important not just to stay in shape but for overall better health. What if you work in the office all day or are just busy? Those are the biggest reasons I hear people say they don’t workout. Break Pal offers a solution! Break Pal offers fitness at your desk! Now that it is also available on the iPhone it can also offer fitness in the back room while you are helping your kids with their worksheets. I guess that is my personal example, but you get the idea. (Android app coming soon!)
Break Pal exercises are around 2-5 minutes, and you can set timed intervals so you get popups to remind you to take one of these micro workout breaks every 30 minutes (or whatever time interval works for you). Some workouts are done while sitting in your chair and some are done while standing.
Break Pal offers a variety of exercises, and they add new exercises often to keep the workouts fresh. The exercises vary from stretches to a variety of styles. Examples are: Martial arts aerobics, yoga, Tai Chi, Chi kung. They also plan on introducing belly dancing and salsa dance!
One of the features I enjoy about Break Pal is that they also offer a social network and point-based rewards system. You are able to chat with others, rate and comment on the various exercises, etc. I noticed that it matters what you have to say, which is really important! Although, I hadn’t left feedback on any of the exercises or asked any questions I noticed that those who had received personal responses to their feedback and questions. I love that they care enough to take the time to respond personally to everyone. Liz has also personally emailed me to check-in to encourage me and keep me on track!
I have found the exercises on Break Pal to be refreshing. They vary in difficulty, and I choose those that are best for me. They are definitely not all “easy.” It is really amazing what a few minutes of exercises broken up in increments throughout the day can do! Our health is important, and Break Pal is a great way to make sure we can squeeze in time for fitness.
