Good Health is an Exercise in Common Sense
In the study titled, “The Surgeon General’s Call‐To‐Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity”, the surgeon general indicates
that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The study indicates that being overweight increases the risk of health problems,
such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, as well as Type‐2 diabetes among other afflictions.

Heart Rate is an Important Key to Your Exercise
The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This report dictates that exercise and fitness are beneficial for a
person’s health and reiterated the need for exercise as a key component for disease prevention and healthier living.
The best way to determine exercise intensity is to monitor your pulse rate. Your heart rate can easily be determined by counting the number
of heart beats per minute at the chest, wrist or the carotid artery on your neck. It is difficult however to count your own pulse while exercising
as it is not possible to count fast enough to accurately track the number of beats per minute. This Diamondback Fitness unit is equipped with a
set of touch heart rate sensors.
