Whether you are preparing for that Century race, or even if you are just trying to motivate yourself to go a little bit farther or a little bit faster every day, you will really like the addition of a speed cadence sensor with your GPS device. For ultimate fitness progress you can monitor your pedaling cadence as you ride with a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor. It will help you track your speed, distance and pace so that you can monitor your workout performance. It measures and reports your pedaling strokes per minute, providing feedback for optimal efficiency. The Garmin speed/cadence sensor (GSC 10) is compatible with the Garmin Edge 305 and Forerunner 305. The best part is that you can use the speed cadence sensor even on your stationary bike so that you can continue to work out even on the bad weather days we seem to be getting more of this time of year.

Aren’t we all trying to get more fit and maybe lose some weight these days? There is so much to think about, this can get really overwhelming. Really, the simplest concept is just to burn more calories than we consume to lose weight. How about if we just try to burn at least one more calorie today than we did yesterday? That is a pretty easy place to start. There are so many different things to consider to help figure that out, I will try to do a series on just that.
My sister-in-law loves her heart rate monitor which monitors things like your heart rate, speed, distance, pace and calories burned so you can train smarter and more efficiently. And it helps you to see whether you are training too hard or not enough. She says it really helps to motivate her and lets her see her progress so she doesn’t get discouraged. That sure makes sense to me. It helps to give that little push to help you get back into shape or lose those couple extra pounds, or just to burn off that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie you just ate.
I love walking when I am on vacation, exploring new places and seeing new sites. I also love that I am incorporating a workout into my day without having to work out, but there is the fear of getting turned around in a new place and getting lost. My husband teased me for being such a sissy, but I was looking for a hand held GPS device to take with me on vacation. Well, I discovered the Garmin Forerunner. I found that I can just strap on my Garmin Forerunner like a watch before I hit the road or the trail and have better than hand held GPS, I can have hands free GPS, and I can’t get lost as I check out new places so I don’t have to worry.
Well, we hit the trail last time we went on vacation, and guess who almost got turned around on the trail, but I was able to get us back to our car in one piece. I was also pleased with the fact that when I got back to my cabin I was able to check and see how many calories I burned while I was out enjoying myself. That was a real bonus. Wow, am I glad I found this. It is just like a watch, inexpensive and lots of fun! My husband isn’t laughing at me now.
