How do you measure how active you are doing your workout?
Wonder why you are not seeing the results you expect?
We understand you don't have time to waste during your workout. Every minute counts so you need to make sure you are working smart. One way to do this is by keeping track of your heart rate. You may want to invest in a heart rate monitor. A heart rate monitor will help keep track of how hard you are exercising. Working out in the proper heart zone will ensure that you get an optimal workout.
A heart rate monitor is especially helpful for all my ladies hitting the track or treadmill. I've found it really helpful to make sure I'm jogging fast enough. It's also helpful if you do a lot of cardio classes, you can keep checking your monitor to make sure you are within your target zone.
I invested in heart rate monitor a couple of months ago, it was about 40 bucks on Ebay. It was so worth it.
Here's some info from the American Heart Association about your Heart Rate.

Do you use a heart rate monitor?
Motivated by the lack of information about Black Women's Fitness issues, I am creating a Community for Black Women to voice their concerns and discuss issues related to physical health. I will share information about my experience. We all know that the Black Women's experience has its complexities. From the prevalence of diabetes and breast cancer in our community to not working out because we just paid $75 dollars to get our hair done, there are a ton of issues!
