Below is a testimonial we would like to share with you.
Below is Tracy's story....
“In the summer/fall of 2013 I hit my rock bottom. I was the heaviest I had ever been and I was missing out on activities my husband and sons were participating in. I was just plain
miserable. I had been successful in the past losing a bit of weight but as soon as I quit dieting it all came back and a little more. I needed something different so I searched “weight loss challenge” on Google and Team Fitness popped up. They had an idea for a new program for larger clients that wanted to lose 60 to 100 lbs. That was me all right I had 113lbs to lose. The program included a meal plan and weekly individual or group workout sessions. I loved the group; we all had a common goal and looked forward to working out together each week.When I first looked at the meal plan, to be honest it worried me, it wasn't anything like I was used to eating even when I had been on a successful diet in the past. I wasn't sure I could do it but since I committed to this TF+ program I thought I better give it my best effort. After 10 days of sticking to the plan it actually got easier and the 3 group workouts per week really added to my willpower and determination.I never felt anything like it before.Working out and sticking to the meal plan gave me energy, strength and I not only enjoyed the workouts but craved the feeling I got from doing them. My willpower soared and my temptations literally disappeared. After 3 months I lost 29 lbs and after 7 months I was down 64 lbs.
In Aug 2013 I couldn't run from my house to my truck, in May of 2014 I ran the BMO Vancouver ½ marathon with a TF team mate and we completed it. In May 2015 I plan to run it again at my goal weight and a little faster. I don’t know where I would be right now if I had not found Team Fitness. The experience changed my life for the better in so many ways. I feel great,my family now has to keep up with me and I made some new lifelong new friends. Thank you Team Fitness!”

If you're even a semi-serious exerciser, you've probably read or heard that it's a good idea to know your resting and maximum heart rates and to track your heart rate during workouts.
Well, yes and no.
Knowing how fast the heart is beating before, during, and after exercise can be helpful for some people, including heart patients and competitive athletes. But experts tell WebMD that much of the conventional wisdom about heart rate and exercise is wrong.
Take this quiz to separate fact from fiction about heart rate and exercise.
1. TRUE OR FALSE: It's vital to monitor your heart rate during exercise.
FALSE. It all depends on who you are and why you're exercising.
If you have heart disease and your doctor has forbidden you to exercise strenuously, monitoring your heart rate during workouts is a good way to avoid pushing your heart into the danger zone. Heart rate monitoring can also make sense for serious runners, cyclists, and other athletes who are eager to optimize their aerobic fitness.
But otherwise, there's no pressing need to know your heart rate.
"The majority of people simply don't need to monitor their heart rate," Gerald Fletcher, MD, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., tells WebMD.
Edward F. Coyle, PhD, agrees. He's a professor of kinesiology and health education at the University of Texas at Austin and director of the university's Human Performance Laboratory.
Coyle's work has included studying the muscular efficiency and physiological factors -- including heart rate -- in Lance Armstrong during his acclaimed cycling career. But Coyle says that for most people, it's not essential to track heart rate during exercise.
"If you're exercising for health, the most important thing to do is get off the couch," Coyle says. He says that for most people, the key is to "enjoy their exercise, so they keep doing it."
2. TRUE OR FALSE: Resting heart rate is a good indicator of aerobic fitness.
TRUE. Regular aerobic exercise makes your heart stronger and more efficient, meaning that your heart pumps more blood each time it contracts, needing fewer beats per minute to do its job.
"For most people, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 90 beats a minute," Coyle says. "Athletic training can lower that rate by 10 to 20 beats per minute."
But if you have a lower resting heart rate than someone else, don't assume that you're in better shape than them, or vice versa. Two people can be equally fit and have significantly different resting heart rates.
"Both a couch potato and a highly trained marathoner could have a heart rate of 50 to 60," says Benjamin D. Levine, MD, professor of medicine and cardiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine, both in Dallas.
A personal heart rate monitor is a useful tool when exercising. It provides an accurate count on total calories burned, time, distance and speed. Some personal heart rate monitors also feature programmable training goals, whether it's to improve your overall fitness level or lose weight. There are many heart rate monitors to choose from. Polar is the leading brand in heart rate monitors, according to the manufacturer.
In 1982, Polar launched the first wireless, wearable heart rate monitor, providing accurate workout information for athletes and their trainers. Since then, Polar has released a wide range of heart rate monitors -- from basic models to programmable fitness training systems for the world's leading sports and fitness athletes.
3. TRUE OR FALSE: Maximum heart rate declines with age.
TRUE. As we all know, exertion makes the heart beat faster, and the greater the exertion, the faster the heart rate. But there's an upper limit on how fast your heart can beat, and that limit is affected by age.
"Maximum heart rate is unrelated to exercise training," Hirofumi Tanaka, PhD, tells WebMD. He's an associate professor of kinesiology and health education at the University of Texas and director of the university's Cardiovascular Aging Research Laboratory.
"Whether you're a couch potato or a highly trained athlete, that rate declines about seven beats per minute for each decade," Tanaka says. Regular exercise can lower your resting heart rate, but it does nothing to slow the age-related decline in maximum heart rate.
4. TRUE OR FALSE: Moderate exercise promotes weight loss more effectively than vigorous exercise.
FALSE.Weight loss is a matter of simple arithmetic: To shed pounds, you must burn more calories than you consume. And when it comes to burning calories, the greater the exertion, the greater the rate at which calories are burned.
Working out at about 60% to 75% of your maximum heart rate (the so-called "fat-burning zone") burns fewer calories than working out at 75% to 85% of your maximum heart rate (the so-called "aerobic" or "cardio" zone).
But caloric burn depends on a workout's duration as well as its intensity -- and it's easier to work out longer when exercising at a lower intensity.
5. TRUE OR FALSE: There's a simple and reliable formula for calculating your maximum heart rate.
TRUE. There is such a formula -- but there are two big caveats.
For starters, it's not the familiar 220 minus your age in years. That formula, first promulgated in the 1960s, works reasonably well for people under age 40. But it overstates the maximum heart rate for older people.
A more accurate formula is the one published in 2001 by Tanaka in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Multiply your age by 0.7 and subtract that figure from 208. For example, a 40-year-old has a maximum heart rate of 180 (208 - 0.7 x 40).
Formulas aside, maximum heart rates vary, even among people of the same age. "The formula is only relevant for groups of people," Levine says. "For individuals, the prediction is off by plus or minus 10 to 20 beats per minute."
It's possible, of course, to determine your maximum heart rate by running or riding a bike to the point of exhaustion. But because it can be risky, exercising that intensely is not recommended for men over 45 or women over 55, as well as for heart disease patients or people with heart disease risk factors, unless they have been exercising regularly or have been cleared to exercise by their doctors.
6. TRUE OR FALSE: Using a heart rate monitor can help boost your fitness level.
TRUE. Electronic heart monitors, typically consisting of a wristwatch-like display and an electrode-studded chest strap, are used by serious runners, cyclists, etc. while training and even during races. By providing accurate, real-time heart rate information, the monitors help athletes pace themselves.
But even if you're not preparing for a marathon or a century ride, using a heart rate monitor can help motivate you to exercise. How? By turning your regimen into a solitaire of sorts: Can your regimen lower your resting heart rate? Can you exercise at the same pace but get your heart to pump more slowly? Can you shorten the time it takes your heart rate to return to normal after a workout?
It's not easy to answer these questions when you take your pulse manually, but quite easy with a heart rate monitor. "No one really needs a heart rate monitor," Fletcher says. "But some people love to play with these things, and that motivates them to exercise."
So what heart rate monitors are the best to use?
"The New York Times" notes that the Polar FT60 is a comfortable workout companion, even on long runs. It features basic workout feedback like calories burned, speed and distance, as well as programmable training goals and weekly targets. At the end of each workout, the watch lets you know if you reached your goals and, at the end of the week, provides guidance if you didn't train hard enough. Other features and benefits of Polar heart rate monitors include an easy-to-use interface, easy-to-read display, blocked interference from other heart rate monitors in range and water-resistance. Some also feature GPS capability.
Features
There is a wide range of Polar heart rate monitors to choose from depending on your workout and fitness needs. Most Polar heart rate monitors have features such as a visual and/or audible alarm in target heart zones, water-resistance, a backlight, storage for exercise files -- including exercise time, time in target zone, average heart rate, maximum heart rate and calorie expenditure -- a day and weekday indicator, a stopwatch and a low battery indicator. Other features include a temperature and altitude indicator, and a target pace alarm.
How does a Polar Heart Rate Monitor Calculate Calories?
The Polar Heart Rate monitors determine caloric expenditure based on specific personal information. When first using the monitor, the user inputs his gender and body weight. This information must be correct in order to accurately calculate caloric expenditure. In addition, heart rate also impacts the total number of calories burned, and the monitor measures heart rate directly.
OwnCal
Polar developed a feature known as OwnCal. Once the Polar monitor has the required information, a program called OwnCal uses a regression equation based on gender. The internal part of the monitor chooses the appropriate equation and, based on your workout intensity, determines the number of total calories burned.
Different Versions
A Polar Heart Rate monitor only estimates calories used during a workout. For this reason, Polar developed two versions--one for athletes and one for the average user. OwnCal for the average user starts monitoring once the user's heart rate reaches 100 beats per minute. In addition to gender and body weight, OwnCal for athletes also includes VO2max and Heart Rate max and starts monitoring at a heart rate of 90 beats per minute. Remember, these equations only estimate total calories.
How to Choose a Polar Heart Rate Monitor?
Step 1
Narrow your focus depending on whether you cycle, run or pursue general fitness activities and whether you want an entry-level, intermediate or advanced model.
Step 2
Select a basic monitor such as the FT1 to track heart rate and target zones if you are price conscious. For more readouts such as calories burned if you should go for a more advanced heart rate monitor such as the FT60 that can help you create a training program based on your personal goals and gives feedback on the effectiveness of training.
Step 3
Purchase a cycling monitor such as the CS300 if you are a recreational rider which measures your heart rate and current, average and maximum speed and displays how many calories you've burned. Step up to a RS300X to connect with an online training diary and determine your heart rate target zones for optimal training. The CS600X uses wireless speed sensors and determines if your training program and recovery time are optimal.
Step 4
Select a running monitor such as the RS100 if you are an entry-level runner looking for heart rate monitoring and showing many calories you have burned. Move up to the RS800CX series if you are training for events and want to track your latest 16 training sessions, or the RCX5 to also measure your aerobic fitness at rest and provide details about your performance.
Step 5
Before you decide on what watch you would like to use, always do a side-by-side comparisons of all the features to make sure the watch meets all your requirements.
Step 6
Download a PDF of Polar's 24-page catalog for details on each model, featuring symbol legends and a summary chart listing each model's basic features, training and heart rate measuring capabilities and data communication tools.
