Cardiovascular activity is all about exercising your heart. Our range of Sports Watches from Polar, York, Timex and Oregon allow you to plan and adapt your training session.
Why Sports watches/monitor your heart?
As many athletes know, a sports watch is essential in keeping track of fitness. You can monitor the intensity of your exercise, allowing you to increase or decrease this as appropriate. Seeing your heart rate increases motivation and clearly indicates underperformance or an improvement in fitness. It also means you can train at your own pace and adapt your fitness programme, making it an ideal training partner.
How Sports Watch/Heart Rate Monitors Works?
Sports watches are like rev counters. They're usually attached to your chest and continually transmit your heart rate information to the monitor's receiver, normally a wrist watch. Most monitors feature alarms that can be set at a target level that beep if you go above or below this, and often you can store session information for future use.
Sports Watches are very much essential for following Exercise & Fitness equipment beside other outdoor activities such as cycling and road running.
Problems You May Face When Choosing the Correct Sport Watch
Sports watches are one of the most popular types of fine watches made today. There are many people who find that an active lifestyle is important to them and this is reflected in their watch choice. A wide variety of sports watches are available in many colors and styles to match any sport, personality or budget.
It is possible for a physically active person to choose the right sports watch no matter what their chosen sport is. Whether the sports watch will be worn in the water, on land or in the air, there is an appropriate sports watch with special features to help the wearer while they are active in their sport.
Sports Watches meant to be worn during water sports at any depth are water proof. These waterproof watches are also designed for divers. Since many underwater divers need a oxygen tank, there are watches with a unidirectional rotating bezel, which is used to determine the amount of oxygen remaining in the oxygen tank. Diving watches may be equipped with markings painted with a luminescent material.
Since divers will only dive to certain depths according to their needs, there are waterproof watches that are customized to perform under different depth conditions with the lowest depth being 660 feet. The least waterproof watch will be waterproof under rain or splashing conditions. A crown winder may have to be pressed down to activate the waterproofing of the diving watch, also known as the marine watch.
For the sports person, who requires a stopwatch function, there is the chronograph watch. The chronograph watch has different small dials on the watch face that will measure time by the hour, minute and second. Some sports watches have multiple timers and alarms.
Runners can find a watch face that is turned at just the right angle so that the person is able to read the watch quickly. Runner watches may have a pedometer as well. For sailors, there are the sports watches with a compass located on their watch face and a tidegraph for keeping an eye on the tides in up to 28 cities. Pilots can choose from pilot watches. Such pilot watches are very accurate and can be used to perform the mathematical calculations that pilots need to perform as they pilot a plane.
Sports watches are not just worn in air, on the turf or in the surf. People who prefer the durability of sports watches will be pleased to know that sports watches come in a variety of styles that can be worn at work and even on special occasions.
Sports watches are constructed using a variety of materials with the most durable being stainless steel and plastic. The wearer's comfort is a great consideration when choosing a sports watch. Since the band is a large portion of any wristwatch, make sure its material is the right choice for its wearer.
Sports watches are so popular because of their great styling, comfort and wide range of prices. Sport watches can be enjoyed for many years with the right maintenance and care. Because of their great versatility in function and features, sports watches offer many benefits to consumers.
Treadmills are without a doubt one of the most popular items of home and commercial gym equipment, powered or motorised treadmills use a motor to move the belt, keeping the rate at which you walk constant. Many motorised treadmills have powered incline adjustment. One of the main advantages of a motorised treadmill is that it's more challenging - it can go faster than you can, so you have to work harder to keep up. At Argos Sporst we offer folding treadmills - for those looking to save space and who may be on a budget. Non-folding treadmills - for those who have enough space for a treadmill, and commercial treadmills - for those who want a high quality treadmill with advanced features, similar to the standard you get in gyms throughout the world
Cross trainers also known as elliptical trainers offer the same benefits as a treadmill but are low impact machines, i.e. your feet remain stationary. These cross training machines have adjustable resistance, sophisticated digital displays and are quiet in operation. At Argos Sports we offer compact elliptical trainers for those of you short of space and on a budget, standard elliptical trainers for those of you who have the space available. We also offer commercial elliptical trainers for those who want a high quality elliptical cross trainer similar to the ones you use at a gym
Rowing Machines have the advantage of using the entire body in a single, fluid motion. The seat on a rowing machine slides on rails and there are handles attached to stretchy cords that simulate the arm motion of using a paddle. Rowing is low impact and non-load bearing. At Argos Sporst we offer air rowing machines such as the concept2 model which is used in gyms throughout the world. Magnetic rowing machines that are silent in operation, and finally water rowing machines - if you are serious about indoor rowing we suggest water rowing machines
Exercise bikes (sometimes referred to as exercise cycles) are good for the large muscle groups in the legs. These bikes are manual and have variable resistance. Some exercise bikes will also work the torso and upper body. A recumbent exercise bike puts less pressure and stress on the back. At Argos Sports we offer upright exercise bikes which give you the feel of a pedal bike, recumbent exercise bikes where you sit back and pedal putting less strain on your back (good for those who have the room and beginners). Finally we offer spinners and racers designed for those serious about there biking.
