After Super Seminar later this month, we’re going to focus heavily on endurance training. I’m studying and gaining a lot of understanding on the subject. I want to get into the science a little more, but I’m confident enough to work on programming for the adults (and older teens).
What students need to do to prepare is to purchase some sort of wearable heart rate monitor. I’m sure that I could find one and put it in the store, but there are so many out there to choose from that I’m positive you’ll be able to find one that will work. The only functionality that we’ll need is the ability to set alarms when your heart rate gets outside our target zone.
I bought an inexpensive one that pairs with my phone via Bluetooth. It does everything that I need and then some, and cost (if I remember correctly) less than $25. You can probably do better on Amazon or somewhere. If you have something like a Fitbit, it will probably work, but you’ll have to study and learn how to configure them.
As always, if you have any questions, you can email, text, or get with me at the school. Phone calls will likely go to voicemail and be listened to after midnight.
