My Sony Z3v is waterproof, but I put it in a ziplock bag inside my fanny pack when I am out on my Paddleboard. I also use my Garmin gpsmap 78sc while paddling to monitor my speed and distance and heart-rate. the gpsmap 78sc is…

  • Don't forget Endomondo. I pair my Android smartphone to my garmin heart-rate monitor (strap) and it works well tracking all my stats as well as computes calories burned. I love it!

  • I love the water and really enjoy standup paddling. I monitor my performance and heart-rate and can tell you that it is an excellent cardio workout if you want it to be. I can keep my heart-rate up quite high and burn 1000 cals in about an hour of paddling. I use a garmin heart-rate monitor (strap) and then pair it with my…

  • I am now paddling with a Garmin 78sc mounted on my paddleboard and I link it with the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor. I also carry my smartphone and have the endomondo app running and it also records hr along with speed, distance etc. So while paddling, I monitor average speed, distance and heart rate from my gps and…

  • I try to paddle on my sup at least once everyday. I always have my gps with me and try to average 4 mph. I generally go for 90 minutes and feel afterwards like I have burned more calories than walking at 4 mph for 90 minutes. It's a great workout.

  • I alternate between 1 1/2hour standup paddle sessions and 1 1/2 hour fast walking sessions. I take along my Sony smartphone and use an App called SpeedView to monitor my speed and distance and time. We walk at an average of 4mph. Depending upon the water and wind conditions, I can also average between 3-4mph on the…

  • I really enjoy my "vodka salad"......V8 (low sodium), 2 cocktail onions, 2 green olives, touch of Worcester sauce , mrs dash seasoning, pickled bean or pickled asparagus and finally, 1 ounce of Barnett's lime flavored vodka. Not only is this a great way to get some veggies, but it is filling !

  • I'm sure glad to hear that muscle weighs more than fat! I was wondering where the food was going since I started my "program". Since last October I have lost only a few pounds, despite the religious increase in exercise and careful monitoring of caloric intake. I have noticed that I don't "poop" as much either....so I…
    in Not loosing weight - upping calories but feeling miserable Comment by sosmerc March 2014
  • Why not try a low sodium V-8? Make it a virgin bloody mary and add a celery stick, or a pickled bean or asparagus or a coctail onion or two. Spice it up with mrs. dash no salt seasoning. I've found it to be pretty filling....but then again, I do like to add a jigger of Burnett's Lime flavored Vodka.....at least on the…
