HRM recommendations?

love2lift_85

I'd really like to find an HRM that I can plug my height/weight/gender into and have it monitor not only my pulse/BPM but tell me calories burned in a workout. Preferably not too terribly expensive, haha...

Any reliable models for that purpose?

Polar! I'm gonna PM you, because I don't know if I can post where I got mine from, might be against CGs.

Polar is always a solid choice, relatively cheap.

Polar FT4 is a great basic HRM which will do what you want it to - I love mine. Has the added bonus of being waterproof so if you swim for exercise you can still use it.

You could also look at a Bluetooth HRM for your phone. I got one from Map My Fitness for $40-$50.
