Shopping spree / Monday challenge II

To make sure you don't go over your limits and make yourself ill
To work out how many calories you've burned
To keep track of how fast you can go at a particular level of output => measure your fitness.

This. ^^

Plus I have a resting pulse of 40. I like to know what my ticker is doing at all times during exercise so if I am going to pop my clogs I get a couple seconds advance warning

Whose sockie is this? If you need a monitor to tell you that...

Forgot counting calories, it does not matter. In fact forgot weighing yourself too, have no done so for years. A good measure of fitness is how quickly you repair from whatever injury. Athletes at the top of their game will talk about managing injury, and less so fitness.

I saw some weekend warriors in Reigate a few weeks ago, mostly 9-5's during the week giving it their all during the day. Talk about heart attacks waiting to happen.

Wow you've got the same resting pulse as Michael Phelps - well jealous. Best I can do these days is early 50's, and even then that's been totally zen.

Do you meditate?
