Heart Rate Training: "Are you looking for a 5k training program? When you start looking you see many program offering beginner programs and advanced programs. What is interesting is that most beginner programs are too many miles for the average beginner. The key to effective 5k cardio plans is for every person to have their own heart rate profile. With optimal heart rate training every workout will be optimized for the greatest impact for your results. Heart rate training is for advanced and beginners; the difference is the heart rate profile not using a heart rate monitor."

Heart Rate Monitor | Lean and Mean

Heart Rate Monitor | Lean and Mean: "Almost three years ago I started attending spinning classes. My health has improved fantastically since then, and I thought I would never need one of these monitors. About two months ago, a friend of the family had a fatal heart attack while jogging, and this was more then enough to send me flying to the computer, to check at Amazon.com what they had for monitoring the heart while exercising. I am very glad I did, because I got a fantastic monitor that does what I expected, and much more. And the price, wow!!"
