Wrist Heart Monitor

Intro

The heart monitor has long been used in medical facilities to measure the health of the heart.

Now, medical devices and technologies are appearing on the market that will revolutionize home-care health systems. People will finally be able to play a greater role in maintaining their own health.

Exercise And The Heart

While it has been known for ages that exercise is "good for the heart," the exact amount of "safe" exercise has only recently become widely known. Even then, it required the remarkable miniaturization inspired by the computer revolution to make "heart technology" available to the average person.

In a nutshell, the best effect is gained by working at a certain range of cardiac performance -- too little and you are wasting time, too much and you are endangering your health.

Early efforts at self monitoring were clumsy at best: run a while, stop and measure your heart beat, run some more, stop again ... very inefficient. What was lacking was the essential ingredient of being able to measure your heart rate on the go and get immediate feedback.

A Cardiac Unit On Your Wrist

At last technology has arrived to do just that. All in a tiny circuit board inside a wrist watch.

The wrist heart monitor allows you to precisely pace your training routine. Now terrain, energy level, weather conditions, and all other factors that could previously mislead you are gone.

Your cardiovascular performance is best measured by the work-rate of your heart, so pacing your training runs according to your heart rate is clearly the best way to targeting your cardiovascular fitness during your workout. The monitor is the best tool for gauging effort; it is an objective observer than can help you maintain a consistent work rate.

Wrist heart monitors can give you an accurate and fun way to quantify your progress, while adding some variety -- and safety -- to the activity.

A heart wrist monitor is the perfect workout companion, allowing you to conveniently follow the progress of your workout with a personalized heart rate display and audio feedback.
