heart rate monitor
November 30th, 2009
Adjust your pace by slowing down or sleeping up when you go walking to avoid running out of breath. Always bring a heart rate monitor with you. This gadget will display your heart rate which you can use to adjust the intensity of your walk. As you get fitter, you can then walk faster at the same heart rate.
Most heart rate monitors use a chest strap that fits snugly around the chest just below the breast. Like an ECG, a heart rate monitor includes a transmitter which can detect the electrical activity of your heart. It then relays the data into a display which is usually worn like a wristwatch.
