Losing It With Garmin GPS |

I am so proud of my brother. Earlier this year he decided that he was tired of being overweight, and he called to ask my advice on getting healthier and losing weight. Before you ask, no I'm not a fitness or diet expert, but what I am is someone who can understand the struggles of being overweight because I've been there myself. I'd love to say it's a battle that I've won, but I believe it's one that I'll always have to keep in check, or the pounds can easily pile back on again.
When my brother asked what my best defense was to get rid of the weight, I told him a Garmin GPS. For a moment, I do believe that he thought I’d lost my mind, because he commented on me being sarcastic and also mentioned that he didn't ask me for directions. Obviously he hadn't heard about the latest in Garmin GPS technology, and rather than go into the specifics of the new Garmin GPS innovations, I figured I would give him a gift that would show him exactly what I was talking about.
I went online and got the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor that I ordered from Shopp Rite Mall who can be found online by visiting www.shoppritemall.com. When the Garmin GPS arrived, I called to tell him that I was coming over, and I took him his new gift. He wasn't sure what to think at first, especially when he saw the Garmin GPS box, but once he opened it, and I showed him that I also had the same Garmin GPS, he thought it was one of the coolest things ever. I explained to him that the Garmin GPS would help get him through the work outs, plus keep his heart rate and other things in check on the off chance that he'd develop any problems. I also explained to him that now that he had the Garmin GPS he didn't have any excuse not to work out, so that I’d be picking him up with my Garmin GPS the next day and he should be ready for his first jog. I could tell he was excited, but also apprehensive. After a little pep talk and a whole lot of encouragement, I do believe he started getting excited. Since that day, we've been running three times a week and my brother is shedding the pounds. I can't begin to express how proud of him I am, and how grateful I am to Garmin GPS for such a fantastic product. |
