From the Nashville Studios of the XBHS Radio Network, I'm Skip Orem, and this is the Anchor Pointe Podcast. Hey, everybody. From the XBHS Radio Printers Alley Studios just off Broadway here in Nashville, Tennessee, welcome to a late February episode of the Anchor Pointe Podcast. Anchor Pointe, your faith and fitness podcast for us older folks, baby boomers in our 60s, and 70s and beyond. And we even have youngsters in their 50s listening to this podcast.

And on today's episode, we are still investigating heart rate training. Specifically today, we're going to look at how to measure and track your heart rate during exercise. And that will lead us into a discussion of fitness and health tracking apps and devices. And as usual, we will have some important medical news for seniors. And then later in this episode, how especially at our older age, things, they can change for us in the blink of an eye. All of that today on Anchor Pointe.

Audio Bursts are short segments from the Anchor Pointe Podcast episodes sorted by subject and date of release. Most of the Audio Bursts, they're no longer than about five minutes or so. These Audio Bursts are, well, they're a good way to catch up on highlights from past episodes without needing to listen to the entire podcast episode.
