It’s not a secret that I have been trying to loose a LOT of weight this year. I have been trying out different exercise from doing extra walking, Zumba and then my newest addition is swimming.
I have decided that I really would like to also give a go to running. When I was younger I would rather do anything other than running but I feel I should give it a go.
My friend Alex mentioned a good plan that would build me up to running slowly but surely. The Couch-2-5k is based around the idea that you will gradually build up running and not just go straight into it full force.
I figured it would do me no harm to do it. Each week when I have been losing weight I have been exercising within that week and have no idea which form of exercise is burning off more calories.
My guess is that Zumba is up there at the top, but I wanted a way to find out. Enter my new toy:
This is my new baby. It’s the SportLine 555 and allows me to track calories, my heart rate etc. It’s also water resistant and has a stop watch and countdown timer on it. Multi-functional I have to say 
.
I am looking forward to figuring out how many calories each of my exercise will be burning and I think it would be a really good way of me tracking how much I’m burning per week.
I know how many calories I am taking in, just not how many I’m burning off. Now I will which is fabulous. At least I think so

Great purchase. I cannot recommend HRMs enough to people who have specific fitness goals (as you do!). It’ll also really help you when you run, as you’ll modify your pace to keep your heart rate stable which means you won’t burn out.
I thought so
I can’t wait to use it! YAY
