The Edge high-sensitivity GPS receiver is extremely reliable and is the perfect companion on any bike. It is able to be attached to either the stem or handlebars with the handy bike mount for easy viewing. The Edge 305 comes packaged with a heart rate monitor and wireless speed/pedaling cadence sensor to provide valuable feedback. From competitive road racing to mountain biking, the cyclist-friendly Edge will help as you aspire to your personal best. With the easy-to-use Edge 305 which shows altitude and a map view on your bike, you’ll always know where you’re going and how far you’ve gone.
The Edge 305 has the ability to measure pedaling cadence, heart rate, speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, plus much more. The heart rate monitor is a soft, comfortable chest strap that uses wireless technology to reliably measure and send heart rate data to the Edge. The cadence feature includes a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor so you can monitor your pedaling as you ride. This data is then automatically sent wirelessly to the waterproof Edge GPS unit and stored for analysis when you have finished your workout.

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.
