Timex Ironman Triathlon

Among beginning as well as expert fitness buffs, it is no longer a secret that a heart rate monitor is perhaps the most important tool separating a successful workout program from an unsuccessful one. Being able to sustain your motivation and desire to get out and do something difficult every day depends on consistent, measurable results. The ability to see consistent results, meanwhile, largely depends on heart rate, and exercising while maintaining the target heart rate at which your body burns calories most efficiently. The Timex Ironman Triathlon gives you the ability to monitor your heart rate during workouts across a maximum of five target zones, along with a number of sports timing features that are extremely helpful for anyone preparing for a race.

Although the name is certainly indicative of the Ironman Triathlon's abilities to prepare an athlete for a multi-sport race, this is in no way the unit's only target market. Additionally, a traditional triathlon includes swimming; the Ironman Triathlon is highly water resistant and will continue to function underwater. However, the unit can not monitor heart rate when it is fully submerged. Also, the unit's ability to monitor heart rate across up to five target zones can be useful for anyone interested in improving their overall fitness level, whether they are preparing for a race or not. Higher target heart rates are useful for increasing your endurance and being able to exercise for longer periods, while lower target heart rates are useful for overall health and weight loss. The Ironman Triathlon will track the amount of time that you spend within each of your target zones, along with the number of calories burned during your workout.

For anyone who actually is preparing for a triathlon, the unit has some impressive sports timing abilities that are not found in some other fitness watches. It has a 100 hour stopwatch with both lap and split times, along with the ability to display these times in large digits. It has enough room in memory to store times and heart rates for up to 30 laps. These measurements can be crucial for increasing the efficiency of the body and improving your times by those crucial split-seconds that can often make the difference between a win and second place.
