They are equivalent to the altimeter for skiers... for those of us who are motivated by following trivial data. Gotta follow that data...

Papasteeze Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 My ear drums... when I hear my heart beat in my ears, I know my aerobic is up... is that a good thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibhusky Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 My brother got me one of these things. I should have returned it and got his money back. I had NO interest, especially after strapping the darn thing around my chest. I could see me skiing with THAT on all day! Unfortunately, I gave the thing to Siblet, who opened the box and used the watch to tell time with. She's never used the thing either. Its instructions are worse than your new VCR's.

You probably have an expanding cerebral aneurysm, just waiting to rupture. It's no problem unless it goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running and erging are SO DULL, I thought it might make cardio more tolerable. Also, wouldn't it be fun to see how exertional certain other activities are...
