Cannot go to the gym - Heart Rate Monitor Watch helps
I workout at home, I got a Heart Rate Monitor Watch helps me a lot, I have one of those that track how many time you spend working out, so at the end of the week, the watch will tell me how much time spent and calories burned during the week, I don't like to see less than 3.5 hrs so it helps my fitness accountability 312
