When I do my cardio workout and I really push myself, I’ll get this weird smell in my nose of ammonia. This is only in my nose and not externally in my sweat and it goes away after a few minutes. Now I’ve researched this on the the web and apparently it’s fairly common but [...]

Why Heart Rate Monitoring is a valuable tool in helping reach your Fitness Goals
“Heart monitors are one of the most effective aids for tracking and developing your progress on the path to increased aerobic endurance.” http://www.marathonguide.com/training/articles/HeartMonitorTraining.cfm
Fern Oliner had been a runner for more than 25 years when she experienced a breakthrough in her performance. It happened at age 59, during a challenging half-marathon.
“For the very first time, I felt like a true runner,” she recalls. “There I was on the uphill, passing people and feeling totally in control. I absolutely loved it.”
Her secret? Oliner was wearing a heart-rate monitor.
“I was breathing heavily as I was going up the hills, but the monitor told me I was okay. So I sped up,” she says. “If it weren’t for the monitor, I would’ve kept running at the slower pace, as I’d always done.”
