But then I got a Bowflex Watch and it made ALL the difference.
With this watch, and the belt that comes with it, I'm able to track my heart rate in real time. This way, while I'm exercising, I can burn the most fat I can. The higher your Heart Rate, the more fat you burn, and in aerobic exercises the goal is to keep your heart rate at a high point. With this watch I'm able to work harder if I'm not in the 70% range, or work easier if I'm in the 85%+ heart rate range. With this watch I was able to achieve a 1193 calorie burn in a single hour workout!
Do I recommend the watches? Heck yeah! Get yourself one if you want to make the most out of your workout.
The watch I use is the following:
"Bowflex Fitwatch Combo Heart Rate Monitor Works with or without a Chest belt (Black/Silver)"
I know it says that the belt is optional, but I find that using the Chest belt is so helpful for checking your real-time heart rate. You can get it now on Amazon! The link is below:
