Garmin GPS by Devin Sherrington

One of my favorite pieces of fitness gear is my Garmin GPS watch.

Now I am a bit of a tech junkie but this one has to be the coolest things ever!. It has a huge number of options but the basic ones are the coolest.

You start the timer, run your route and the stop it when you're done. Then you plug it into your computer and see you top speed, average speed, top and average heart rate, how many hills you climbed, what your pace was, and exactly how far you ran. Plus you can look while your running and see how far you have come, your pace, etc.


But that's not the coolest part!

Once you've set up some of your courses (it shows you a GPS map of the course on the watch and the computer after you've run it) then you can choose trainer option and complete against yourself from the last time you ran, all in real time. You see you're in front, or behind your last pace, right down to the meter. No more remembering land marks and times.

This watch is about the coolest thing for exercisers, and it gets better. It also lets you do the same thing if you are biking too, so you can track all of the bike rides you been on.


The only possible draw back I can see is that I may give myself a heart attack trying to beat my old time and pace! So if you see me in Fall River running, looking like I'm about to die from the pace, that Garmin is the reason why!

I got mine at Costco. You can look at a page about it here, Garmin Forerunner.

Have fun tracking your runs!

360fit - Interval Cardio Blast

So you're getting a little bored of your cardio workout? Well I've got just the thing for you. A little interval  cardio blast.

Most people love to do cardio but don't push it hard enough. You can do this workout either inside on a treadmill or outdoors.

When doing it on a treadmill do the following.

Warm up for about 2 minutes at a walk. The spend the next 20 minutes doing this.

1:30 at a normal pace (either fast walk or a slow jog)
:30 sprint as hard as you can go





For outdoors use telephone poles. Sprint one then walk one. For the sprint work as hard as you can. Really go out it.

Keep that up for 20 minutes then get off and go about the rest of your day. It's that easy.

Now I'm not saying it will feel easy while you do it. It's hard as heck. But it'll burn lots of fat and it's fast and to the point. Give it a try this Christmas. You'll be glad you did.

360fit - New Science: Brief and Fast the Way to go

Ever think you don't have the time to workout? Only have half an hour? That's fine. 20 Minutes of workout is enough if you push it hard.

I often tell people there are two ways to workout. Work slowly and take an hour, or put the hammer down and spend 20 minutes. The choice is up to you. But the 20 minute workout will burn a lot more fat.

That's because when you work hard and fast, with little breaks between sets you get the best of both worlds. You get all the positives of workout with weights or doing resistance training, along with the cardio aspect of working out.

When you workout like this you will feel like you're doing hard cardio. It's not an easy workout, but it will get you results and fast.

The best way to set up a workout like this is to pick four to six exercises which cover all the major muscles in the body and do them back to back with as few breaks as possible until the 20 minutes are up.

A good example would be pushups, squats, crunches, DB rows. These will cover most all the muscles in your body. Ten reps of each doesn't sound like much but it will tire you out in 20 minutes.

Give the 20 minute workout a try and see how you like it. It'll save you time and get you in great shape, all at once.
