HRM Users
My Polar HRM stopped picking up my heart rate every so often, so I ordered a new strap and the Buh Bump cream. Do you still wet the electrodes and put the cream on or just use the cream by itself? I've never used the cream before so I didn't want to mess anything up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in…
