The world's First Strapless, Continuous Heart Rate Monitor

The team at HRM USA has tested out the MIO Alpha and we have to say – we are most definitely impressed! As you know, the MIO Alpha is the world’s first strapless, continuous heart rate monitor and it touts that it offers accurate monitoring at performance speeds. It’s true – this strapless HRM is a game changer and the technology behind it is truly unique.

So, how does this HRM work? Well, for starters, instead of relying on a chest strap to monitor heart rate, the MIO Alpha uses optical sensors to detect pulse directly from the skin, so it’s key to wear this monitor snugly against the wrist so that it gets a correct reading. But, once it is in contact with your skin, the data it registers is real-time monitoring at its best. Just press and hold the HR button on the right side of the watch until the watch beeps. Then, hold your arm fairly still until the watch beeps again and displays your heart rate. From there, you’re ready to start training. You’ll watch your HR adjust automatically and you can use the user-settable HR training zones to really laser focus on your workout. The MIO Alpha was tested in all types of environments and during all types of activity, so the accuracy is truly best in class. Having seen it in action ourselves, we can confidently say that this is one of the best training tools an athlete can take advantage of.

Another great thing about the MIO Alpha is the battery life. It charges in about an hour and can offer continuous HR monitoring for 8 to 10 hours on a charge. When you turn off the monitoring, it’ll keep its charge for up to 2 to 3 weeks, while being worn as a regular watch (this thing looks sleek and stylish, so it’s perfect for everyday wear). We love that it works with most popular fitness apps, like Runkeeper and Wahoo Fitness, so you can use this with your smartphone to get additional training insight.

All in all, we give the MIO Alpha five stars – and it’s now available at HeartRateMonitorsUSA.com in either shadow or arctic. Get yours now.

• Your heart: People who skip breakfast are more common to have higher cholesterol and be at a higher risk for heart disease and diabetes. Breakfasts that are fiber rich and balanced are excellent for heart health.
• Concentration: After sleeping throughout the night, your body is hungry. After waking or not eating for a long period of time your body begins to go into famine mode by storing the energy it has left. An empty stomach can lead to concentration issues and loss of focus. Fueling your body in the morning can lead to an overall more productive day.
• Impulse control: Filling up on a healthy breakfast can actually help fight cravings, which leads to lower body weight. Without breakfast, you’re more likely to reach for that bag of chips.

Breakfast is an essential meal that is more important than many believe, however not all breakfasts are created equal. Try to eat a variety of fruits, egg whites, low-fat dairy and whole grains. Stay away from foods that are high in sugar, like doughnuts and high carbohydrate breads. A healthy exercise regimen combined with regular breakfast eating is an excellent way to create an overall healthy lifestyle.  A day without breakfast is like a work out with a heart rate monitor–incomplete!

Get camping this summer with our GPS systems and these safety tips today!

Heading out into the wilderness this summer to get in touch with nature and your more rugged side? Don’t worry: to be rugged and live on the edge, you don’t have to be exactly like Bear Grylls to go camping this summer! We’ve got the best tips, GPS systems, and other outdoor gear for you so that you can enjoy your time away from the chaos life brings on.

• Always have a physical map of where you’re going before you head out, marking exactly where you’ll be setting up camp.
• Tell someone, whether it’s a family member or a coworker, where you’ll be going. It’s important for a third party to know exactly where you’ll be going in case of emergency.
• Having some sort of digital directional guide to help you find trails and other points of reference is essential. One of our GPS systems, such as a Garmin eTrex, can help you not only with finding your location but also helps with geocaching as well.
• Pack extras of almost every necessity, such as water bottles, socks, flashlights, and other important camping materials.
• Having an adapter for your necessary electronics is also very important.
• And of course, pack an emergency first aid kit for all the bumps, bruises, and scrapes along the way.

• Check your Air: Tires naturally deflate over time, so it’s extremely important to thouroughly check the tires and air pressure before heading out on a ride. It’s also important to make sure the tubes are still sturdy with no rot.
• Check your Brakes:  Having functional brakes is extremely crucial to your safety. Be sure to adjust or change brakes depending on their existing status.
• Check your Chain and Cranks: Make sure your gears and chain are in working order! Make sure all moving parts are moving freely and no rust is present!

It’s also important to check other components of your bicycle. If you depend on a cycling computer for your ride, be sure the batteries are changed and working. If your cycling computer is in poor condition or not in working order, consider purchasing a new one. The Cateye CC-RD200 Strada Cadence Cycling Computer is an exceptional cycling computer that will last you all season long, and then some!
