I second the suggestion of training with a heart monitor if you're seriously interested in enhancing your physical performance. I've used one on and off for several years, primarily in running, and for me, it's been extremely useful. It's good to know (a) how hard your body is really working (not just how it "feels") and (b) if you're "overtraining" to the point where your body can't easily recover. My only experience is with the "Polar" brand of monitors (most are waterproof), but there are a number of others on the market which probably perform equally well. For the techno-geeks among us, some of the high end monitors even let you download your workout heart rate info into your PC for performance tracking. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
