Polar responds
I had a long response from Polar about the irritation on my chest. The first thing they said was to stop wearing it until its healed. Then I had a load of questions to answer and took some photos to show what caused the irritation. So here we can see the mark of the edge […]
Getting addictive
Following Tuesday nights marathon session of the cross trainer the tech was telling me I had three days to recover. Now that would mean I would be going back to the gym on Friday night. I’m not keen on that idea, that’s chill night. So I went on Thursday night instead. I’ve only gone and […]
The Desk arrives!
So, one thing that Sam recommended was a standing desk. As we have the option at work I enquired, with results. Check this out, freshly installed ( by me ) today. A million thanks to Tracey for sorting this out for me!!!
Polar trouble
Problems exist with the Polar Heart rate Monitor. It works, it works really well. Very compatible with the Tech. But not compatible with me. The sensor strap has left me with, what I can only image is, Contact Dermatitis. One area on my chest is itching some four days after I last wore the device. […]

The watch uses the on-board HR sensor unless and activity is running, whereupon it will seek to use the external device. The new tech uses ECG technology rather than optical. The sensors are built […]
Saturday blast
Two parts to this. Clothing I encountered problems on Wednesday where I was getting cold in the legs. So I decided to go into town and find some long trousers. This didn’t exactly go to plan. In Sports Direct I discovered a brand called “Under Armour”, and really like it. So, as a result I […]
Got me some gear!
So I’m sat here this evening, feeling a bit sorry for myself, with the cold symptoms just under the surface. Then I remembered the problems I get with the watch and its HR sensor. I then remembered I had some Christmas pennies in Amazon. So I’ve gone and got me one of these. It’s a […]
A bad day
So, yesterday, as in Wednesday 29th, I went to the gym. Parts of me were saying this was a bad idea. I had a slight sore throat and I was beginning to feel feverish. I went anyway as I figured I might get warmed up and drive through it. How wrong was I? Trying out […]
