Okay, I’ll be honest. I don’t usually spend much time checking my heart rate when exercising. I’m usually too busy simply trying to keep breathing and not collapsing.
But I’ve just discovered a gadget that would probably let me do both. It’s the Timex Ironman Race Trainer, a heart rate monitor system that allows the user (exerciser) to wirelessly download their workout data. Once downloaded, you can then analyze the information to find out how to improve and enhance your workouts, track your progress and attain any fitness goals you have.
Here’s what you get with the Timex Ironman Race Trainer kit…
Haven’t tried it but it sounds great. I think I’ll just have to add the Timex Ironman Race Trainer to my Christmas wish list.
Meanwhile, Healthbolt readers have the opportunity to get one of their own simply by entering the Win A Timex Ironman Race Trainer giveaway.
All you have to do, as usual, is leave a comment by 16th December telling us why this should be yours and you never know, it just might be.
This, by the way, is an INTERNATIONAL giveaway.

And don’t forget it’s ‘every day a giveaway’ this month at Healthbolt.
Though I have run for 5 1/2 years, I’ve never tried heartrate-based training. I’ve not had any way to measure and store heartrates mid-run. This just might be the tool to get me to the next level in my running.
This thing would DEFINITELY get me to run more. I try to run about once per week, but I can never run very far and that always makes me feel very out of shape. Please, Santa, let me fulfill my last 10 New Year’s resolutions and get me one of these!
Next year I am determined to qualify for Boston and I’ve come to realize that it will be very helpful to have more tools at my disposal as I learn how to pace myself and really hit the right speed. I would love to have the trainer to work with me!
I would like to do a tri in July of 2009. This would definitely come in handy
i want this because i’ve not used any fitness/training aids in the past but this watch would be really helpful for me. ive never used any fitness machines or devices or even had a gym membership. this watch could really help me fine tune my excercises and make my time spent more efficient.
This would make a great gift for a friend of mine.
This would make my year!
Whenever I run, I have to stop and take my heart rate for 15 seconds; this would be more convenient. Additionally, I want to make sure that I am in the target zone for more than the few seconds when I take my pulse.
would love to win this! Could measure my progress more accurately!
My heartrate monitor just went out. I am looking for a new one to start the year off. Thanks for the give-away.
oh gosh out of all the giveaways this is what my heart desires most! I have wanted a heart rate monitor foreverrrrr
hubby would love this as he is training for his first marathon!
I plan on starting training for my first 5K as a means of battling depresion in January… this would be the perfect tool for my journey to health.
I would loooooooove to win the the Timex Ironman Race Trainer. I neeeeeeeed it. I am so focused on my weight loss goals but I believe I have reached a bit of a plateau – and this is just what I need to overcome it. My first goal was to drop a dress size in 2 months, which I did. I now have another 10lbs to lose in 2 more months. With this watch I can keep on top of what I am doing.
Plus, did I mention that you and this site are wonderful – yes, I’m talking to you *wink* absolutely wonderful whoever wins will be very lucky.
I can’t ever seem to get a good heartrate count, maybe this could solve my dilemna
Trying to remember heart rate info after a workout when there are grocery lists, a week’s worth of drycleaning and unfinished assignments on my desk running through my brain as well? This would be a perfect way to track my target heart rate when the only numbers I have an easy time monitoring now are my bus routes home. Thanks for all the cool giveaway opportunities!
This looks like a life saver. I’m at the age I should be doing more for my heart and this would be a great start.
