garmin gps



As I rang in the New Year, I promised myself that I would not make any more resolutions, but instead I would set realistic goals for myself and work towards making them happen. One of those goals was to lose 40 pounds by mid-November. While that is definitely a realistic and doable goal, I know that it's going to take some dedication and commitment. After all, doesn't most things?

Luckily, I have a brother who is a personal trainer, only he happens to live in another state. He and I talked and he suggested that I get a Garmin GPS to help me along with my work outs. I've long been a fan of Garmin GPS and use one when I go geocaching with the family, plus my husband and I have a Garmin GPS navigation system in our car, but a Garmin GPS for working out? This was a Garmin product that I'd yet to discover.

Determined to make the most out of every work out and get my heart rate where it needs to be, I went online to see if I could find the Garmin GPS that my brother was talking about. I hadn't seen it at the local sports store, but my brother said that if I wanted to find the best price on the Garmin GPS that I should definitely shop online, so that's what I decided to do. It didn't take me long to find Garmin Edge 305 HR+Speed/Cadence Sensor GPS Receiver that I found at Shopp Rite Mall  whose online store can be found by visiting www.shoppritemall.com and after reading about the great functions of this Garmin GPS, I ordered it and added it to my Garmin collection.

One of the things I love about this Garmin GPS is that it allows me to race against a virtual partner which will give me some competition even if I'm running on my own. I have a feeling that little feature on the Garmin GPS will make me work harder and tap into the competitive side of me, even if the person I'm racing against is a machine. Hopefully that will allow me to get to my target heart rate and keep it up so that I can burn more calories and fat, allowing me to reach my weight loss goals more quickly. In the meantime, here's to setting goals, and making them happen in the year 2010. Happy New Year.
