I used the money my parents had given me for my birthday to purchase a Hear Rate Monitor. It is a Timex. Now I just have to read the three volumes of booklets that came with it! lol

Does anyone have a Timex HRM? Do you have any info on it? How do you like yours and is it hard to figure out how to work it?

Don't you just love new diet and fitness toys etc! Nothing like it to keep you motivated! I also bought a tape measure finally! yea!

WATCH OUT I'M ON A ROLL! :laugh:

    MMmmm...

    Anyways, let me know how you like that Timex one. I'm toying with the idea of getting one & would love to hear about this one. I know a few people really like the Polar & I've heard one good thing about the Reebok. Have fun!

    I Timex has one good thing right off the bat for me... It was on sale from $90 to $49 w/ a 20% mail-in rebate at Big Five Sporting Goods. :happy: (my parents gave me a $50 so it was perfect!)

    Ugh! Help people who have ANY HRM. This thing is annoying me! It asks me to try different things to find out my Heart rate while doing them so I can set my zones. But I can't get it to do that without guessing first a zone and it keeps beeping first because its too low while I'm sitting and then when its too high while standing... is your heart rate supposed to change so much just sitting it doesn't seem to lock onto a number like the books tells me it does... "sit for two minutes and record the # (which one it changes by the time I do that! And I still havent figured out how to read the part that tells me how many calories I'm burning! I hope my model isn't so cheap that it is constantly irratic
