Can someone make a recommendation for me? I feel like I need to be more accurate in reporting my calories burned, so I'd like to use a heart rate monitor. Is it worth buying a cheap one? We're on a tight budget because we have to pour a basement floor and put in a new heating system before the snow flies (October) since our furnace bit the buscuit this spring.

I'm rambling, but my point is, can anyone point me in the direction of an inexpensive, yet fairly accurate hrm if such a thing exists?
THank you
Misty

    I would recommend a polar brand. Try overstock.com, ebay or craiglist to get a good price on one.

    I use the polar F6. Very accurate, chest strap works with the watch. You have to pur you age, height, sex, weight. I paid $120 at MC Sports but you can find them cheaper online.. I'd use Amazon.com

    I love mine and use it every day!!

    I have a new one made by New Balance - model N4. Was all set to buy the Polar brand then saw it at my local Costco for $44. I love it! Very simple to use and reliable for heart rate! Love the money I saved too :-)

    I recommend the Polar or Timex. I found the best price on Amazon with free shipping.
