Suunto N3 Smart Watch

The Suunto N3 Wristop computer will change the way you interpret your world by bringing internet content to your wrist. The N3 makes useful items like weather, stock quotes, news, and sports instantly accessible. It keeps you connected to friends, coworkers, and family through instant messenger (MSN Messenger) and calendar (Microsoft Outlook) programs. The N3 only receives information—so you won't be able to immediately reply to messages. It is, quite simply, a revolutionary step forward in mobile internet technology. So how does it work? The Suunto N3 is a MSN Direct device, so you'll need a paid subscription to the service (www.msndirect.com). MSN Direct has service areas throughout the 50 United States, District of Columbia, and Canada. It currently reaches close to 120 metropolitan areas. Simply plug the N3 into your computer's USB port, log on to MSN Direct, and customize the data that is continually sent to your new watch. The watch is simple to set up, learn, and easy to use. Of course, the N3 has all your favorite sports watch features as well: a stopwatch, lap and split times, an interval timer, programmable alarms, time, and date. Some advantages of the N3 over competitors include: lightest weight on the market, a battery that's twice as powerful, and a 2 year warranty. IMPORTANT: To receive MSN Direct, you must be within an MSN Direct coverage area; check the current coverage maps available at www.msndirect.com. Internet access is required for the on-line activation of your MSN Direct account.

Training Tips

After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.

The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.

Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.

As your fitness improves over time by following a carefully planned fitness program, your ability to exercise closer to your maximum heart rate will improve.
