Heart Rate monitor-

I love this thing. I have a Sunnto T4d with a heart strap, that I got used from a watch forum in trade for something I wasn't wearing. This thing ROCKS! It talks to the machine im on so I don't have to fiddle with the cal/counter or the heart rate handles, and since it is strapped to me I feel its probably more accurate than the machine.

I worked out with it on Saturday and I blew off 764 calories in 36 minutes. I skipped Sunday, and then today I did 766 cal/34 minutes. WoOt!

Its nice to not have to worry about holding onto the handles, and I like that it monitors my heart rate and stores it. It also has a 'coaching' function that bases your next workouts from your previous ones. It hasn't learned enough about me, yet, though. I keep working outside of its parameters for my 'activity' level that I programmed into it at the start (slightly above three toe'd sloth).

Here's what my day looked like today. I eat pretty much the same every day, so its simple to keep track of it. See, honey-im eating! (my wife thinks I don't, or something)
