Yay finally my Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor finally arrived from Amazon, after nearly two weeks of ordering it.
This uncle tries to do daily workouts if time permits, and its great that I can finally do heart-rate training once again. I can now finally retire my 7 year old Casio stopwatch. Yes I’m a frugal person.

My choice of a heart rate monitor was between the Garmin Forerunner, for which I can transfer the data to the iPhone, or the highly rated Omron HR-100c.
I chose the latter. Albeit simpler and having lesser functions, it’s best that I start from the very basic, and moving on to the more advanced heart-rate monitor gadgets in the coming years.
This pakcik was truly excited to run today as I’ve a new gadget to play around with. I did fartlek today combined with cardio plus overall body workout.
Since I’m no longer training as hardcore as the last time, where I can be more specific in my training, I had to resort to rojak training.
The initial phase of the run was aerobic training, then few short burst of anaerobic runs in the middle of the run, and going back to aerobic training for the last phase of the workout.
It was a good training today indeed, keeping fit and maintaining my bodalicious uncle bod, don’t laugh …. hahahaha.
