“There is no duty more obligatory than the repayment of kindness”.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

“To promote the highest development of mind and soul, a sunny disposition is indispensable; the brighter, the happier, and the sweeter the disposition, the more easily and the more rapidly will any talent develop; and it is a literal truth that a sunny disposition is to the talents of the mind what a sunny day is to the flowers of the field.”

Christian D. Larson (1874-1954)

The Great Within

Your life is a learning process – you can become wiser only from learning.  Sometimes you might have to attract making a painful mistake to learn something important, but after the mistake you have far greater wisdom.  Wisdom cannot be bought with money – it can only be acquired through living life.

With wisdom comes strength, courage, knowing, and an ever-increasing peace.

Well, by simply just wearing a heart rate monitor, this obviously won’t happen, but if you are thinking about how effective your workout is, a heart rate monitor can help you understand more about how your body is reacting to the exercise you’re doing.

Understanding you heart rate provides a great way of determining whether the exercise programme you are doing is really bringing the benefits that you are hoping for. Let’s face it, spending a few hours each week doing exercise if great, but what if it’s a complete waste of time. Well, some would argue that any exercise of beneficial, but that not to say the exercise is bringing you any close to your goals.

Perhaps you’re looking to burn off that excess fat, something that is probably a goal for most of us. Well, did you know that there is an effective heart rate that you should maintain to achieve this?

So, without a heart rate monitor, you are just guessing as to whether you are in the correct “zone” to match the goals of your exercise.

Our advice… get a heart rate monitor.
