You have the CorSync heart rate monitor so that your exercise is heart rate based.
Your heart rate monitor will show you what you heart is doing right on your phone.
Why is this important?
Because your heart rate is the BEST indicator of what you do and how you do it.
Want to go run, hike, lift weights, or do yoga?
Go ahead and watch your heart rate create your personal story of what you did and how it went.
Each week you will have clear goals of how much total exercise time you should shoot for and how much of it should be easy (grey or below zone), medium (blue or in zone) and hard (orange or above zone).
You can literally do whatever you enjoy doing, you just do it in a way that meets your targets and you will be confident you are getting the benefits you are seeking.
Below is a more detailed description of the heart rate zones and the benefits of spending time in each.

If you have an Apple Watch read this for integration: Apple Watch. I am not really a fan of the Apple Watch or any watch that measures heart rate on the wrist. They are not very accurate, but they do work with the CorSync App.
If you don't have a heart rate monitor, please order one ASAP. The Nutiva Heart Rate Monitor was designed to work with the CorSync App. Purchase here: Nutiva Monitor *Use group code: briens
We also may have some heart rate monitors in stock at our Belmont location if you are local.
Your Personal Plan
Each week you will have clear goals of how much total exercise time you should shoot for and how much of it should be easy (GREY), medium (BLUE), and hard (ORANGE). When you login to the app, you will see the DASHBOARD.
