Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor

Finally, I have invested in a heart rate monitor! I have recently decided to get a personal trainer a couple times a month as I already do circuits, thump boxing and swimming. My trainer recommended I purchase one to show how well I am working out and to monitor m heart rate. 

There are so many different heart rate monitors on the market which made it harder to choose but I did do my research and the Polar FT4 came out the best for me. I would always make sure you research to see what one can work best for you and also the prices ranges from low to extremely high. The Polar FT4 worked out at £69.99 (AU $106, USA $108, Euro €83) which was in the middle of my desired training. 

The Polar FT4 explains:
  • Shows when you're improving fitness based on your heart rate
  • Displays calories burned
  • Comes with comfortable textile transmitter and coded heart rate transmission to avoid cross-talk

I really liked how simple it was to input my body measurements, the time and date which is always a plus. Polar offer many different ranges of hear rate monitors, the FT4 was in the middle of the range but  I felt I did not need to purchase the more expensive ones as the FT4 fits perfectly into the training I do. 




Cannot wait to use it tonight at circuits and at the gym :)

Welcome...


Hello gorgeous people and welcome to my blog.  

This is my second blog, I previously had a fashion blog with four of my beautiful university friends called We Do Fashion UK! We all decided that we wanted to start our own blogs. I have decided that fashion will be some what incorporated however, the focus is on food, fitness and lifestyle changes.  I had loved blogging on my previous blog but wanted to do something different and it wasn't until a couple of people said I should start a food blog, the light bulb went on and here I am :). Once I spoke to my beautiful best friend about a clean eating blog she thought of the name Clean Eating and Happy Hearts once I read it back it just felt right and LOVED IT!






About me :) 

My name is Sarah, I am currently living in Glasgow Scotland. I have just finished 4 years at Glasgow Caledonian University studying Fashion Marketing, I hope to graduate in July this year. I have started this blog to motivate myself and others to educate how important it is to eat properly. Two years ago I went abroad for the summer and did not watch what I ate which led to me putting weight on. It wasn't until I got home I realised that my lifestyle had to change for the better. Since then I have followed a clean eating diet and work out as an when I can. Don't get me wrong I still have bad days and I will still post when I have my cheat and naughty days. We are all human at the end of the day!  

I have started this blog to record my journey of my fitness progress, clean eating and my recipes. 


Looking forward to blogging soon :)
