I bought the Fitbit Charge as a gift. (I read that there were inaccuracies with the HR). I tried wearing it for a bit, just to see how it goes. It seemed fairly accurate with the steps I was taking. But it takes awhile to get used to on my wrist. They also have a knack for falling off of the wrist, so I had to buy some fasteners so it won't fall off. As there have been fitbits in the parking lot that have just come off of people's wrists. Don't know if the HR has that issue.
I've got a new personal trainer, as my other one was promoted to another gym. I worked out with him on Friday. He's more geared to a Crossfit style. My other trainer had me out there doing dead lifts and squats (which I loved). Different trainers have different styles.
My pre-workout choice is exclusively Arnold Iron Pump. We have C4, but I decided that I don't like feeling jittery before/during my workouts (that's what C4 does to me.) arnold doesn't have that feel, but I just have a ton of energy when I take that. At night, I follow it up with Arnold's Iron Dream - This regulates your sleep cycle and puts you in a deeper sleep. You cycle it for 5 days and then take 2 days off.
I started to get some ab definition and then I decided that carbs were indeed awesome.
Also, Fit Crunch protein bars are the Beez Kneez!
