No more wondering how many miles you've logged…

FitSense Technology, Inc., launches the FS-1 Speedometer, a consumer training monitor for running and walking programs. The patented system is a "dashboard for the human body," providing instant feedback on speed, pace, distance, calorie burn and heart rate on a wristwatch. The FS-1 Speedometer uses an accelerometer that clips onto a shoelace to automatically measure the length of each and every step for 98% accurate results. The data is transmitted via a wireless link and displayed on a wristwatch designed for ergonomic comfort and ease. After exercising, the athlete simply presses a button to have the personal performance data up-linked to the FitSense website, where charts and logs are displayed.

"Anybody who likes to run or walk is in for a thrill," stated Tom Blackadar, founder and CEO of FitSense. "Now they can know how far and how fast they go.

The FS-1 gives people the feedback and motivation they need to stay fit and healthy. Athletes, people trying to lose weight, and people recovering from medical treatment can keep track of their heart rate, the calories they are burning, and their level of physical exertion. Everyone likes to see what they've done and get a pat on the back to stay motivated."

The FS-1 Speedometer Technology:
Foot Sensor weighs less than 1oz. and clips onto a shoelace. The patented accelerometer automatically measures each and every stride and transmits data to the watch via a wireless link.

Wrist Watch enables users to get instant feedback at a glance, without breaking stride, displaying: speed, distance, current pace, average pace, elapsed time, calories, heart rate, current time, day, and date.

Total of mileage
Log of 28 workouts including elapsed time, total distance, average pace, total calories, and splits for each mile.

NetLink plugs into the serial port of any PC and, at the touch of a button, receives a wireless upload from the FS-1 Speedometer watch enabling athletes to plan, chart, and analyze their workouts online.

Heart Rate Monitor wraps around the chest to measure heart rate. Data is sent via a wireless link to the wristwatch for display.

The FS-1 is available direct from FitSense (www.fitsense.com or 1-800-419-3667) and at select retailers for $179.95.
