The Garmin Forerunnner is a very motivating tool for those of you needing the extra push to workout or start running. It accurately keeps pace and the heart rate is also very accurate. The gps feature works with running, biking or hiking. It stores the route you took and tells you how many miles you went. At the end of a workout or running you can connect the Forerunner to your computer and see how you performed on a simple graph. Therefore, you can pinpoint where you need some improvement.There are many other features to this nifty product but I have yet to explore.
