Why you need an Otbeat Burn in your life!

When it comes to working out, it can be so frustrating when you’re putting in all the work, but not seeing your desired results. That’s why I am so grateful to have found a heart rate monitor that has changed the quality of my workouts for the better.

With the OTbeat Burn, you will never have to wonder if your workout is actually working! The OTbeat Burn heart rate monitor sold by Orangetheory fitness isn't just any heart rate monitor. The burn does way more than that. The burn tells you when to push yourself and when to pull back. This is a life-changing monitor! The OTbeat Burn measures distance, calories, and your unique heart rate data so you can get the most of your workout. It has a sleek, black band that can be worn on your wrist, forearm, or bicep. The burn is also Compatible with the Orangetheory Fitness app for use during in-studio, at-home and out-of-studio workouts. The Burn retails for $109 before taxes and can be purchased in the studio or online.

In an Orangetheory workout, each person is meant to try and achieve 12-20 minutes with their heart rate in the “Orange Zone” (over 84%). The reason for this is all about "EPOC": Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption. Essentially, the afterburn. As your body recovers post workout, your metabolism stays raised, and you continue to burn more calories afterwards if you've hit that all-important orange zone. Orangetheory has tapped into our current obsession with tracking, from our sleep to what we eat, we can't get enough of self-monitoring. Not only are you able to assess your stats during an Orangetheory workout, but a detailed report will be emailed to you afterward.

So all this new technology sounds amazing, but what does that mean for the actual workout? I promise I'm not being dramatic when I say that the Burn is a complete game changer. Being able to see my stats in real time in front of my face totally optimized the workout for me. I also loved that it had way more than just my calories and Splat points. I can see when I took class, where and with who. I can see exactly how many calories I burned as well as how many Splat points I've earned. On top of that, I can see exactly how many miles I've run, my incline percentage, and speed. This is why people come to a fitness product like OTF … for guaranteed results. Our interactive technology allows our members in real time to see how their body is responding. “What you do not measure you cannot achieve."

Before purchasing the OTbeat Burn monitor. I also was struggling in my workouts. I didn’t know when I needed to go “All Out” or get “Back to Base”. I also didn’t know how many calories I was burning, or if my heart rate percentage was high enough for me to continue to burn calories after my workout. After getting my Burn I really started to notice a major change in the quality of my workouts for the better! I’m now able to see my workout results in real time! I feel so blessed to never have to guess how many calories I've burned, or how many miles I've run. I will never workout again without my Burn and you shouldn’t either!
