And the Winner is:
Congrats Ellen!
The path to better health and fitness is one that many of us are travelling. Â Along the way, we all need a little help… I mean we ALL do, right? Â It’s not just me? Good.
For me, starting out as a self-proclaimed couch potato, I had no clue where to even begin to get exercise…or what kind to do… how much to do… how intense to workout to lose weight… I was overwhelmed. Â So, at the sugesstion of the Mamavation crew and Leah (aka @bookieboo), I started walking.
And I got a pedometer
I mean walking is all great and good but without a goal, I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere.
And I started tracking my steps.  In the beginning, I’m embarrassed to say it was a good day if I got in more than 5000 steps in a day, but because I had a pedometer, I at least knew what I was starting with.  Slowly I started to increase my steps and now average between 10,000-12,000 per day.  MUCH BETTER…
and just like my children once did, I started to crawl…then walk… then run. Â Yep, I said run. (albeit slowly)
and while my pedometer is still an invaluable tool, I was ready for an upgrade. Â and THAT my loyal readers, is the purpose of this post.
May I introduce you to my newest friend: The Sportline Solo 960 Heart Rate Monitor.
I know it is early on in our relationship, but I think I’m already in love. Â One thing I’m not afraid to admit is I am an immediate gratification person and with my heart rate monitor, seeing that I’m reaching my optimal heart rate is like hearing a “great job” just when I need it most.
Not only that, but it also tracks my steps, distance, and calories burned at the same time. Â and it’s cute, which we all know is of the utmost importance.
If you are in the market for a heart rate monitor, I highly reccomend this one. Â Plus – check out the added features:
- 3 Beat Speed Sensor
- Patented One-Touch Technology
- ECG Accurate Heart-Rate Reading
- No Chest-Belt Required
- Performs even in motion
Yep – Perfection.
AND because I want to introduce you to the quality that Sportline offers (and want to get you off the couch), I’m giving you a chance to take them for a test drive. (err… test walk?) by offering you the chance to win a Sportline Qlip Pedometer!

I follow you on twitter @tannawings
I actually would most like to also get a sportsline Solo heart rate watch- not the one with the chest bands but one like the one you featured. I have a couple of pedometers (cheap) but they serve the purpose. My problem now is I dont know if I am hitting a target heart rate or where it should be anymore!
I tweeted
I follow you on twitter
I like slightly off kilter on facebook
I could really use the Women’s Health Kit but I bought a pedomiter and it was a waste of money, I tool 5 steps and it said 20. So…I need to win a good one LOL>
