Above all, I will immediately admit that motivation is almost always the lacking ingredient in any weight loss or fitness improvement program. Whilst setting initial goals can be easily achieved by sitting on a comfortable couch with a milk shake in one hand and a piece of strawberry cake in the other, following the carefully thought out program is another thing altogether. I have always struggled with the execution of my many theoretical fitness plans until my boyfriend bought a FT40 Polar heart rate monitor for my 38th birthday. On a previous occasion I also received a spinning bike, which sat grossly underused in one corner of our sunroom. Suddenly there was evidence on the polarpersonaltrainer.com upload screen that my ambitions and the reality did not exactly match. From that point on my motivation increased several fold and I now work out approximately 5 times a week and for an hour on each occasion. It is so very easy to keep track ! of energy expenditure, of training duration and many other factors. As a result I have now also lost many kilos on this exciting journey. Thanks Polar for developing such an easy to use system and for directing and keeping me on this life enhancing path.
