To: SSP who wrote (91282 ) 9/6/2001 8:19:49 PM From: Jim Bishop Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 150070 ZABC this seems to be a better site, more up to date, than the one they list in their news releases, at least as far as concerns what appears to be their premier products, PulsePro, Jugular etc... Took an interest in this one partly because I've used CardioSport watch with chest band for about five and a half years now. While very accurate, the chest band is a bit of pain in the ass, so PulsePro without the chest band is appealing to me.pulsepro.com Only problem is they seem to be out of stock of everything:pulsepro.com (you'd have to type that in, or just go to the main site and click on "STORE". Don't know what that means. They have more recent articles than the other site too:pulsepro.com Reprinted from: 'Walking Fit'- Prevention Magazine Guide June 15, 2001 Reprinted from: 'Walking Fit'- Prevention Magazine Guide June 15, 2001 Great Gear! One Great Heart Monitor New Gadget makes checking your heart rate easier than ever Now you can find out how hard you're exercising without chest straps or wires! We tested several new heart monitors for ease of use and accuracy. Our pick? The Pulse Pro watch. Not only was it easy to use but it was the most consistent and accurate of the monitors we tested. Because most of these wireless monitors require both hands to get a reading, they're safe for walking, hiking, stationary cycling, and exercise classes, but not for outdoor bike riding. It costs $99.99 and is available in some sporting good stores. Or call Advanced Bodymetrics at 800 222-1660. To find out how a heart monitor can help you lose weight, see "Monitor Your Heart Rate to Lose Weight" on p.17. Pulse Pro Heart rate monitor watches can be purchased directly from the Pulse Pro web site @ www.pulsepro.com or by calling 800-222-1660 or 866-677-0808 to order by phone. -----------------pulsepro.com "Lower your heart rate and lengthen your life." Reprinted in part from MEN’S HEALTH Lower your heart rate and lengthen your life.Your heart is yours for life. You can avoid unnecessary mileage by keeping a low resting heart rate (RHR). A lean, athletic man who maintains a RHR of say, 52 beats per minute will muster about 850 million heartbeats between the ages of 30 and 60 - and that includes 3 hours a week at his peak exercise heart rate. An inactive man with a RHR of 72 might clock 1.1 billion beats during those same 30 years - an extra 250 million beats, which could cut his life span by a decade. “Over the long term, exercise can slow your resting heart rate by as many as 20 beats per minute”, says Paul Thompson, M.D., director of preventive cardiology at Hartford Hospital. To check your RHR, take your pulse in the morning, while you’re still in bed. If it’s more than 60, hit the treadmill. Reprinted in part from MEN’S HEALTH, March 1999
