Fitness tools to help you reach your goals





Hello there.  As I was contemplating a topic for this post, I thought about what I could write about to help you in the realm of health and fitness. 


Here are some tools that you can use on your own, with your trainer, or your doctor:


I hear a lot of people ask about heart rate.  Do you know what your Resting Heart Rate is?  What about Max Heart Rate?  This tool from the American Heart Association teaches you how to find your heart rate.  It then shows you where you should be training for your age.

This one is mainly for competitive lifters.  However, this is also good for everyone just to see where your at at different stages of life.  This isn't to hard when you have a crew that your working out with.  I usually don't, so it wouldn't be sound for me to attempt on my own.  This tool allows you to do what you are comfortable with and use that to determine what your 1 Rep Max is.  1 Rep Max is the total amount of weight you can lift one time.  This is courtesy of Bodybuilding.com.

This one is for determining your Lean Body Weight.  This is your total body weight less body fat.  This is also from bodybuilding.com

Have you ever wondered how many calories you are burning mowing the yard?  What about painting the kids rooms?  Here is a tool that helps you figure out how many calories are burned with different activities.
