Facing high cholesterol at the age of 32, I knew that life-style changes where necessary if I was going to make it to 50 without a heart attack. A colleague recommended starting out with the RS100 and a book on heart-rate training; I'm happy to say that I took the advice and never looked back. My RS100 comes with me on every run and ride, and I log all of my events from anywhere (at home or on travel) on polarpersonaltrainer.com. In less than a year I dropped 15 pounds and took my total cholesterol down from 241 to 157 (my LDL score went from 164 on 6/30/2010 to 86 on 3/25/2011). However, these changes in the scores do not reflect the energy level, positive attitude, and self-confidence that comes with a fundamentally positive life-style change. I owe the RS100 and polarpersonaltraining.com my deepest thanks for providing the tools that helped make it happen.
