Heart Zones, an education and training company that develops heart health and cardiovascular fitness will host seminars, workshops, and certifications from May 4 to 6 at Chicago's East Bank Club. This educational and motivational fitness training event shows participants a new way to get healthy and fitter. Participants will learn how to use their heart muscle and accompanying technology, a heart rate monitor, together to create a personal fitness training program based on their individual bio-makeup.

"The heart rate monitor provides you with immediate feedback that you are in the right zones to maximize the benefits you get from physical activity," says Edwards, a member of the Triathlon Hall of Fame, 16-time Ironman finisher and former master's world record holder. The author of over twenty books on the topic including the popular and best-selling title "The Heart Rate Monitor GUIDEBOOK to Heart Zones Training," Edwards leads heart-centered seminars throughout the world to fulfill her mission to show people how to have a healthy heart.

The seminars, certifications, and workshops will teach participants a powerful and concise training system developed around the use of the heart muscle coupled to a heart rate monitor. If your program goals are to lose weight or improve your performance, then creating an individualized training program with Heart Zones is the most valuable tool you may have.
