Don't Judge A Watch By Its Look

After extensive net research and price comparison for 4 weeks, I've finally bought my first Polar Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) watch last Thursday. I bought the F11 though I did mention once in my comments many weeks ago that it looks boring.

I shouldn't have judged the F11 by its look, it actually turns out to be a very good exercise partner and reliable calories counter. If you are a gym junkie, then F11 is an exerciser's dream comes true. A revolutionary heart rate monitor that creates a workout programme to guide me to my personal goals. The OwnIndex will determine my fitness level, track improvements, and provide motivation. The OwnCal feature counts the calories that I burn and the OwnZone feature will automatically determine each day's target zone. It also comes with a wearLink coded transmitter made from a soft, fabric material. The electrodes, which pick up the heart signals, are integrated right into the strap for added flexibility and comfort.

The instructions manual says it will display a trophy when I complete the workout programme designed for me based on my age, gender and fitness level. I am working towards receiving my first trophy from my F11!!!

If You Think I Am Strong, You Have To Look At My Sister

There are basically four types of athletes in my house. My father and my sister are talented athletes, because they are the two who bring many medals home. My mother is a hidden-talent athlete because she doesn't like sports. However, I believe she will be good in racquet games if she chose to change her mind on sports, because I inherit good arms' strength from her. My brother is a natural athlete, because he is the Jack of all sports and excels in all. He will perform even better if he decides to quit smoking. I am a nurtured athlete, because I didn't do much sports previously and now I am trying to catch up with what I have been missing.

I don't aim to become a professional athlete but by next year this time, I hope I could run faster & longer than the speed & distance I am running now. One of my goals is to ensure that the running commitment I have set today will not be in vain.
