After a lot of research, My husband brought us both Polar training computers for Christmas. We also purchased a GPS and the FloLink. Using them has motivated us to not only work out more, but work out better! I had two strokes in 1999 that left me unable to walk. After years of physical therapy I am able to walk again. My condition and the medications caused me to gain over eighty pounds. I've lost weight here and there but never stay with any regular exercise long term.We use our treadmill a lot but the thing we like to do most is a 6 mile circuit walk from our house through our neighborhood that we do together at least three times a week.. With the GPS we are not limited to one route, we can go off where we want and still make sure we're getting in six miles. We like to compare heart rates and calories and I love to see how many miles an hour we are doing. Since January I have lost 36 pounds and have gone from a size 18 to a size 12, with the only exercise being walking. The best part about our walks is the two hours we spend with no interruptions. We get to focus on each other. After 24 years of marriage and two kids we have something just for us and I love it!
