Suunto t1c Heart Rate Monitor and Fitness Trainer Watch (Black Panda) List Price: $139.00 Sale Price: $119.00 |
|
The Suunto t1c heart rate monitor and fitness trainer combines precision technology with contemporary styling, creating an easy-to-use yet sophisticated workout device. Whether you're hitting the gym to work off that extra holiday weight, going for your daily run, or practicing your favorite sport, every bit of information helps. That's where the t1c comes into play, as it works with the included comfort belt to accurately monitor your real-time or average heart rate, so you know how to get the most out of each session. Simply take a quick glance at your zone training status while exercising to see if you're training at the right intensity, or pre-set your maximum heart rate alarm to keep from pushing too hard. For added versatility, the Suunto t1c is also compatible with select cardio devices, so may be able to monitor your progress on your gym's treadmill or elliptical trainer. The t1c's zone training function is the watch's centerpiece, with three separate zones to keep your workout at a safe and consistent level. Zone 1 is ideal for burning fat and improving cardiovascular health; Zone 2 ups the ante with increased calorie-burning and cardiovascular benefits; and Zone 3 is for people who want to push their limits and improve their peak performance. In the process, the t1c displays your current heart rate, average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and calories burned. And when you're not working out, the t1c functions as a stylish timepiece that can be used with minimal instruction, with such features as dual-time mode, a date, an alarm, and a stopwatch. The t1c--which is a terrific companion for walking, cardio training at a gym, running, and a host of other fitness activities--also lets you track your workout progress for the past two months.

Being an engineer with an inventive turn of mind, he discovered and patented the production method for a much steadier needle, better readings, and a new level of accuracy. By 1950 the company was exporting compasses to over 50 countries around the world, including Canada and the United States. In 1952, Helsinki was hosting the Olympic Games, and the torches carried to light the Olympic flame were Suunto products. The next step was improving the stability and accuracy of marine compasses. The first marine compass, the Suunto K-12, was launched onto the market in 1953. In 1957, Suunto started manufacturing hypsometers, which measure the height of trees. In the 1960s, the compass range grew further and Suunto introduced its first diving compass--initiated by the divers themselves. A British sports diver attached a Suunto compass to his wrist and found that the device also worked underwater. Thanks to his feedback and initiatives, the new business category was found.

Suunto t4c Heart Rate Monitor and Fitness Trainer Watch (Black Volcano) List Price: $239.00 Sale Price: $154.22 |
|
How long should you run? How fast should you pedal? How quick you should move? Answer these questions and more while receiving all the training guidance you need with the Suunto t4c heart rate monitor watch. The t4c employs a Suunto Coach feature to evaluate your athletic performance via a personalized five-day training program. Rather than spending weeks tweaking your workout regimen, the Suunto Coach quickly gets you on the right track by making intelligent training recommendations for the frequency, duration, and intensity of your workouts. And this, in turn, helps you get in great shape without wasting a ton of effort. Plus, if your schedule suddenly changes, the Suunto Coach will adapt by making a new plan that advises you which days to train and how, as well as when to rest. The t4c also tracks your real-time Training Effect, a quick and accurate measurement of how hard your body is working at any given moment. By knowing your Training Effect, you'll enjoy a more intimate understanding of your body's workout "sweet spot," an essential tidbit if you want to achieve your targets without setting yourself back by under- or over-training. The Training Effect works intuitively: The watch first notes the info from your personal fitness profile, and then analyzes your physiological progress and translates the data into a simple one-to-five scale. For example, if you want to improve your aerobic fitness at a moderate tempo, you should exercise until your TE meter reads between 3.0 and 3.9, two to four times per week. To improve your aerobic condition more rapidly--but without the risk of over-training--you should push yourself harder once or twice per week, so your TE meter reads 4.0 to 4.9, with a few recovery sessions in the TE 1.0 to 2.0 range. The Training Effect is relative to each individual. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog, a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. In other words, both runners will have to exercise hard to achieve a TE of 4.0. The Suunto t4c also offers interference-free digital ANT transmission, making it easy to pair your heart rate monitor with the included Suunto comfort belt. You can also use this secure connection to monitor your speed, distance, or cadence by pairing your Suunto t4c with an optional Suunto training pod. Training pods are small units that attach to such items as a running shoe or a bike to calculate your speed, distance, and even pedal revolutions per minute while you exercise. Pods are ideal for athletes who aren't satisfied with half-hearted training efforts, but really want to monitor their training routines down to the last detail. Finally, the t4c is equipped with an integrated training logbook that compiles your progress and personal stats. You can even conduct a more thorough analysis of your workouts by using the Suunto Training Manager Lite software.

Suunto T4C offer even a goal oriented cyclist the opportunity to train properly and get results. In addition to the heart rate monitor, the devices contain a real time TE display that directs your training more accurately than before. The Training Effect (TE) value notes not only heart rate but also heart rate variability and thus provides reliable information on workout intensity and the effect on your fitness. Monitoring the TE value also reduces the risk of over training. Planning and taking long rides, efficient workouts or recovery exercises is easier when you know exactly what their training effect is. |

No warranty is given for defects caused by normal wear and tear, cosmetic rust, scratches, accidents, unlawful vehicle operation, or modification of, or any types of repair of a load carrier system other than those authorized by Thule. About Thule Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.

This sleek fairing attaches to any Thule roof-rack system to reduce wind and noise. Integrated hardware makes it easy to install. Rubber bumpers on the struts protect a vehicle's finish. The fairing comes in four widths: 32 inches, 38 inches, 44 inches, and 52 inches. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty against defects. About Thule To say that Thule's beginnings in the U.S. were humble would be an understatement. Founding member Ake Skeppner sold products at windsurf competitions on the New England shoreline, exhibited the product line at a number of different trade shows, and even canvassed local retailers in the greater New York area, all from his "office"--a now-famous station wagon. Initial success was found in the small but growing sport of windsurfing where a strong, reliable roof rack was an indispensable piece of equipment. This was quickly followed by success in the ski business where Thule's Swedish heritage certainly helped the product gain rapid acceptance. By the mid-1980s, the company sold products directly to ski and windsurfing shops but sold through distributors to address the large and growing bike business. A risky decision was made to terminate these distributor relationships and sell direct to retailers through a network of independent sales representatives. Much of the company's market success today can be traced to that decision. Shortly after, Ake hired an engineer and set up a small assembly plant in Elmsford, New York in order to design and manufacture bike carriers that would offer the features demanded by the U.S. consumer and compete effectively with other racks on the market. The company has since grown rapidly through product innovation, a commitment to quality, and the continuance of a strong entrepreneurial spirit as well as continuing to evolve their products to meet the needs of users. The Thule Fairing cuts down on the drag and wind noise that your Thule bars make when you're blasting down the highway on your way to parts unknown with a roof full of gear. Thule Fairings are cake to install, and use rubber bumpers and anti-scuff film to protect your vehicle's finish. Editors Note: Please call if you aren't certain what parts you need to install your rack.Product FeaturesCompatibility: Thule racksRecommended Use: reduce wind drag on your Thule rackManufacturer Warranty: |

Featured Article:

Camping is fun as it is your opportunity to break away from the hectic routine of city life. Imagine being able to breathe the fresh air while at the same time releasing and submitting yourself completely to nature. Besides adults, kids also enjoy going camping outdoors. However if your camping trip takes too long, they might get bored after a few days away from their television and computer. That could spell disaster. Don't fret though, below are 10 camping activities that would surely keep them entertained and occupied.
1. Get wet and go splashing. If you cannot find a good swimming spot, normally most of the camping parks would suggest where you could find a good and safe spot for you to swim, either a big lake or a small brook. Some of them might have their own swimming pools. Avoid the swimming pool at all costs and go swimming in a lake amidst nature. The experience that you'll get is indescribable. Some camping parks would offer a boat rental service, where you could rent a boat or canoe for a small fee. Your kids will have a blast. A word of caution, never leave your kids swimming by themselves. Be watchful at all times.
2. Rent a bike and go biking together. Most camping sites have biking trails for you and your family to explore. Be adventurous. Riding bicycles is very enjoyable as you are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Ride slow and make sure that everybody is not left behind. Bring a map with you and plan your biking trip adventure before making the trip so that you know exactly where you are heading and where you want to be. Plan your time properly, so that you would be able to make the whole trip and back to your camp before it gets dark.
3. Go bird and animal watching. Most forest parks and camping sites have brochures or leaflets about the different types of animals that can be found around the area that are worth watching and to look out for. A fun thing to do is to buy books on wild animals before your camping trip and play a game with your children and see who can spot the animals first. Just be sure that you keep your children at a safe distance.
4. Play outdoor games such as tug-o-war or the classic sack race or just plain tag. Children love these games, especially when they're playing these games in the woods. Make sure that you are playing in a clear area to avoid unwanted accidents and also avoid making loud noises that might disturb other campers and especially the wildlife.
5. Go on a scavenger hunt. Who doesn't love to go on such quests and adventures. What's good about a scavenger hunt is that it involves the physical, which means you'll get yourself and your kids to exercise while having fun at the same time. Prior to the game, just warn the kids on the type of things that they should avoid, such as poison ivy, sumac, oak and other prickly plants that might be lurking in the woods. Also, you have to be sure that you teach your kids how to read maps. That could also be a different game and will be discussed below.
6. Teach your kids how to read maps and compasses. Educate them on the importance of navigation and explore the forest with them using the maps and compasses. Show them the location that they are at now on the map and where you guys are going. Get them to notice anything significant on your path, such as a tree with a weird shape or something that is out of the ordinary to identify. This should go hand in hand with your scavenger hunt.
7. What's camping without a campfire? This is a must to every camper out there. Your camping experience would not be complete without a campfire. This should be done at the end of the day before you go to sleep. Telling each other scary stories and jokes is recommended. Also, don't forget to bring a guitar and sing songs around the campfire. Other activities you can do around the campfire is to play word games and riddles while roasting your favourite marshmallows and hotdogs.
8. Another night activity that you can do is to watch the stars in the sky. This is both fun and educational. Get everyone to lie on an open field and appreciate the free light show in the sky. You can also bring a star chart and try to discover the famous constellations and other heavenly bodies. If you're lucky, you might catch a shooting star. Don't forget to make your wish though.
9. This next game is frowned upon by some campers, but you should bathe in the rain when it rains. This is recommended if the weather is not cold. Otherwise you might get sick. It's sort of depressing when it rains when you are out camping. Rather than complaining about it, take the opportunity to have fun in the rain and enjoy mother earth's natural shower. Not recommended when there is thunder and lightning.
10. Just simply enjoy the moment and relax. It might not be a big hit with the kids but it is the most appropriate time to bond with your family and enjoy everyone's company. Take your time to enjoy the nature, it's not everyday your family get to enjoy this holiday.
There are many other outdoor activities that you could enjoy doing when you go out camping. By no means that the 10 activities discussed above are complete. The most important thing to remember is to enjoy your time with your family. It's not everyday that you get this kind of opportunity. So, enjoy!

The Jackie Warner Fitness Experience
You’ve seen this entrepreneurial force of nature on her highly rated Bravo television series “Work Out”. Her SkySport&Spa fitness empire has recently expanded to include a new DVD, a 100% organic green blend protein shake, an apparel collection and forthcoming projects which include a nutrition bar and a book. And she still has time to find new ways to kick your butt into shape.
Recently I was privileged to undergo a rather humbling experience at her Beverly Hills SkySport&Spa Bootcamp. That adventure was shortly followed by a workout to her new 60-minute fitness DVD. If you think she’s tough on TV, you haven’t seen anything yet. She is no other than fitness innovator Jackie Warner.
Jackie is a big personality whose no-nonsense, bottom-line approach exudes both confidence and compassion. Her message is direct, focused and purveys choices – the rewards and consequences. When it comes to getting into shape and leading a healthier lifestyle, Jackie states, “There are no excuses. Don’t over think it. Just do the work.” Her compassion comes through with her evangelical soliloquies about the sort of empowerment that anyone can achieve by simply making the choice to change through exercise and eating right. That change, which begins as soon as you take action, will propel you to carry yourself with more strength, confidence and positivity, which will permeate the energy around you. Her infectious plea is delivered with passionate authenticity.
Jackie’s Workout Philosophy
Her fitness journey and self-proclaimed “stronger purpose” began when she helped a former colleague achieve a major body/life shift through diet, counseling and training. Since then, she’s honed her skills training celebrities for red carpet events with nearly impossible timeframes, such as one week, to garner visible results. Through these assignments, she developed Power Circuit Training (PCT) which works muscles to exhaustion. PCT is the premise for her 60-minute bootcamps, which combine cardio, resistance training and mat exercises to simultaneously work the upper and lower body with no rest. Every move is performed with contracted abs – her secret to a great mid-section.
Essentially, the PCT method is weight training followed up with an exercise that uses the same muscle groups with your own body resistance to fatigue. Example #1: Perform a set of chest presses with dumbbells to fatigue. Then repeat with a set of push-ups to fatigue. Example #2: Do a set of leg presses with weights. Next, perform squats – until you can’t stand.
These exercises are based upon her fitness “F” trifecta: 1) performing the ideal function 2) with perfect form 3) to reach total muscle fatigue. When the trifecta hits, your body chemistry starts changing, your muscles immediately respond and the transformation begins. Jackie’s a stickler for excellence and emphasizes that perfect form and technique are critical. When you perform exercises with the proper technique, you shorten the timeline to obtain results.
Her Inspiration
Exaggerated timelines are what make most people give up on big life changes. Jackie attributes this to people lacking tools. “They will join a gym and then don’t know how to use the equipment to maximize results. At that point they generally give up.” So, at SkySport&Spa, she makes sure that she has the best tools for her clients to use in order to achieve results.
Over the past few years, Jackie noticed a growing and underserved clientele that most likely lacked many tools they needed to make changes that they deeply desired. She dedicates a large portion of her time and energy to her SkyLab project which is an all-inclusive, life-changing camp designed for overweight clients. This program has become her source of inspiration. “I’m addicted to seeing people transform their bodies and lives. This translates to their love lives, families, careers - everything.”
By featuring the SkyLab program on “Work Out”, she has exposed it to approximately a million people. This audience includes people who fly in from all over the world to meet and train with her. Within five minutes, she can emphatically ascertain what is holding them back from progress. She actually credits “Work Out” for her development of empathy, which she says was a weak point for her prior to the show. Now, she can really connect with people on a deeper level to help them break through their obstacles.
The next SkyLab camp begins in the last week of August and is a six day program with follow-up support. A maximum of 50 people are accepted after screening with physician approval and release.
Jackie’s Nutrition Prescription
One of the three prongs to SkyLab’s success recipe is nutritional education. She has been a staunch and loud opponent to sugar, which she vehemently describes as “the Devil”. She says that sugar intake should be capped at 9g for any food. So, learn to read labels! Studies show that refined sugar cravings actually decrease with more whole fruit consumption.
Another of Jackie’s observations about the American diet in particular is its lack of essential nutrients. Her solution to these key missing nutrients is her new product, The Perfect Shake, which is exclusively distributed via her website, http://jackiewarner.com/”>http://jackiewarner.com/.
The formula infuses amino acids (muscle builders) and mega greens into a shake. “People can add this to their diet without taking anything away and start seeing results. The nutrients will decrease weight and detox the liver to burn more fat,” according to Jackie.
Caloric intake is also a progress barometer. For example, an average woman should eat about 1,500 calories per day. She suggests eating three meals with about 400 calories and then two snacks with 150 calories each. On the 6th or 7th day, she recommends rewarding yourself with a cheat meal.
Cheating our bodies is something that most people have learned to do by overeating processed foods. However, when your body is clogged with processed foods, it can’t tell us that we are full and then we begin to overeat. That is because our naturally excreted chemical “full” trigger, leptin, is not released. This debilitating cycle can be broken. “When we start making a connection with our body, we will begin to see changes. For instance, drinking three liters of water daily burns 75 calories. By doing just this, you burn a pound of fat per month,” advises Jackie.
Her fascination with the body and in particular the science of our body is the cornerstone of her upcoming book. It will discuss the metaphysics of diet and exercise along with the principles of energy and exercise in a compact, easy to read presentation.
Jackie Warner is quickly becoming a one-stop healthy lifestyle sensation backed with substance. By my observation, Jackie is just getting started.
The Arm-Throbbing, Butt-Blasting, Gutt-Busting Bootcamp
Here’s a taste of the fitness experiences of her Bootcamp workout (abbreviated) and new DVD “Workout: One-on-One Training with Jackie.”
The sunny, breezy day and a 360 degree view of LA provided a beautiful backdrop for an excruciating Bootcamp. If you want to whine, call your mom. This woman is not having it. She gets down to it (without yelling) and pushes you to another level you may not have envisioned. Plus, she is a bit intimidating so you dig in and do it.
The session started off with two trips up and down the stairs from the SkySport Penthouse (13th floor) to the bottom of the building. On the way back you, you were to take two steps at a time. This is when I knew my hour was going to be really interesting.
After that slight warmup, we dropped and pumped out push-ups for one minute. Those were quickly followed by up and down planks. Start in plank position which is with your arms under your shoulders, back straight, hips slightly tucked in and your legs extended straight behind you on your toes. You lower down to your elbows, one arm at a time, and then rise up one hand at a time to the starting position for 20 sets. You don’t drop to your knees, break form or stop. Repeat the entire arm training set for the second time.
Everything is done twice in this class. Smile!
Now it’s time for another refreshing set of stairs. But you get a break and only go down to the 5th floor twice. By this time my class was in serious trouble, holding up the walls of the 12th floor and panting like desert dogs.
Naturally after our legs were turned to rubber, her focus shifted to working the legs. We started with 20 reps of alternating front lunges. Keep your knee over the ankle, chest out, shoulders back and hands clasped in front of your chest. The next exercise was squats. Assume the squat position with your chest out and shoulders back. Stick your butt out and squat down deeply making sure all weight is on your back legs/derriere with your toes slightly lifted off the ground. Squeeze up at both the top and bottom. Do 20 reps.
The squat position is retained with a Jackie move coined UFC’s. Start in the squat position. Lower your right leg down as you twist your waist and move your knee in towards the center of your body. Repeat with your left leg. Come back up to squat position only by twisting your abs and lifting the right knee/leg and then the left knee/leg to its starting position. Your body should be open and low. Do not stand up. Do 20 reps of these (down and up is one set). This was a new move to me. Even though it was hard, it was actually fun. She’s great at creating new, signature moves like this to keep your workout fresh.
Next, do 10 Russian lunges which are similar to front lunges but instead of stepping forward you jump up a few inches, switch legs in the air and then land in a lunge position. You never fully land; you keep in motion while maintaining form.
After we could barely stand, she moved on to mat exercises. At first I thought thank goodness but again quickly realized that her intensity was not subsiding. Our mat work targeted our core. Here are a couple of burners:
· Bicycles. Lying on your back, arms behind your head and legs stretched in front of you, you begin alternating arm to knee while keeping your shoulders off the mat, abs engaged and a strong oblique twist. Twenty of these hit multiple spots.
· Side Plank with a Twist. Start in plank position but twist to your side keeping your feet stacked and create space between your torso and the mat. Keep your supporting bent at the elbow with your forearm on the mat. Bend the opposite arm placing your hand by your ear. Now, staying up high, twist your top side so that your elbow touches the mat, if you can and come up to starting position. Repeat for 20.
The workout ends with total body stretches.
By this time, you are shell-shocked into a new physical and mental plane that inspires you to take quick stock of your physical condition. You are relieved that the pain is over but you counter intuitively run over to thank her and sign up for the next butt-kicking Bootcamp.
Note: If you want to mimic this workout, run up and down stadium stairs in a zigzag line at your local high-school or college track.
“Workout: One-on-One Training with Jackie” DVD Review
This is definitely not another exercise video. In my personal stash of hundreds, this one is at the top of my list for a serious workout. Jackie doesn’t tone it down just because you are doing this at home. She brings it full force. It is up to you to step up to the challenge.
The DVD is divided into three, 20-minute workouts targeting your arms, legs and core. You can do just one work out by body group or combine them for a challenging 60-minute throw down.
The set is contemporary and warm and the music is on point. With Jackie and her top trainers working alongside you, it feels as if you are training with a group of friends.
The pace is just right. It moves quickly, but doesn’t lose you. She achieves her one-on-one training appeal by rotating her trainers through various exercises during which they naturally interact. Jackie portrays herself as a demanding but encouraging coach and not a talking head.
She works each muscle group with warm ups and cool downs. She incorporates cardio moves intermixed with resistance training throughout. The cardio blast sessions repeat the muscle groups worked prior with resistance training. She introduces new exercises to keep the movements fresh. Her innovation of moves really shines through and keeps you engaged.
The DVD has an energetic vibe that pushes you to the next level yet honors you for where you are now. From beginning to advanced fitness levels, Jackie and her trainers provide modified exercises to accommodate a range of abilities. She also gives you the option of incorporating weights, but doesn’t provide guidance for the actual poundage which is left up to your discretion.
She explains the exercises and the names of each are scripted in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen. She gives you tips for results and improving your performance. And she motivates you to finish each move once you’ve reached the point of exhaustion.
The DVD is a mere $14.95 which is less than an unused gym membership or four gallons of gas. If you want a strong, ripped bod, then just plug and play.
