Wii Fit

December 26th, 2007 · Comments Off

Just bought one from a local shop for HK$790. Yeah I know I am paying a premium, but this is about half the premium the local Toys ‘R Us wants.
The Wii Balance Board is simply brilliant application of simple technology, and the software is well done. Nintendo is going to make billions on this. For [...]

Pulled Neck Muscle

November 2nd, 2007 · Comments Off

I pulled my neck muscle on Wednesday night, and went to bed thinking that it would be okay the next morning. It got so bad I had to take the afternoon off. Got one of those nasty muscle injections in the backside in the evening so my neck and my backside both hurt.
The neck has [...]

In zone for 43’38”, 457KCal. Had to take care of Jasper for about 10 minutes during the exercise, so average HR was way off.
The air stank.

Swim Log VI

September 10th, 2005 · 3 Comments

Stopped for two weeks, due to sickness and bad weather (the pool closes whenever there is a thunder/lightning warning).
Exercise time 42’07”, 474KCal, in zone 41’17”, average HR 131BPM.
I was taking it easy, so the slightly higher heart rate probably indicated worse fitness due to lack of PT.

Jasper: “Too tight!”

Speedo. ~HK$100. A waste of money.

Jasper: “Okay.”
View. Adult model, with adjustable nose bridge. ~HK$70.

Okay fit. Very foggy. Over HK$100. Not worth it.

HK$64. Excellent fit and view. Very pleased.
I had a pair of TYRs and used it for over two years before I lost them. These new TYRs are very nice. Highly recommended if [...]

Swim Log III

Total exercise time 46’26”, 508Kcal, in zone 42’04”, average HR 130bpm.
I was testing out the breaststoke techniques discussed in this article, and arms are now quite sore. Sweeping the arms drives my heart rate right pass 140bpm in no time. I might need to do some weights.

My First Heart Rate Monitor Watch

August 7th, 2005 · Comments Off

I first got to use a top-of-the-range Polar HRM watch about ten years ago. It wasn’t mine and I didn’t think too much of it.
A couple of years later I joined one of the big health clubs. Their treadmills could read the Polar transmitter belt. I bought the belt. The watch was still kinda expensive [...]
