Options
I have a two month old baby and its impossible for me to go to a gym, my exercise routine is Zumba, can anyone suggest a good HRM/calorie counter?

    Its a lil pricey, but well worth it - Not to mention they seem to have a high resale value on ebay! I bought a Polar FT7 - Youll LOVE it!

    I have a Polar FT7 and love it.. wearing it zumba all the time. It was about $75 on Amazon.com

    Whatever you do get, make sure it has a chest strap -- otherwise you may as well just continue guessing :)

    For your situation I recommend the Body Bug. It's more expensive, but it will be a constant reminder to be active and can be worn all day. I have a friend who got one and LOVES it, he's found it to inspire him and keep him going!

    I use a Polar FT7, but only when I work out!

    I recently purchased a Polar FT4. Moderately priced at $89.00, easy to use, which is good for me cause I tend to be technically challenged. lol The only problem I have is that I am always out of the zone cause my heart rate is always more than it should be so I have to constantly watch to not over do it. Ironic. I have to work out less intense than what I'm used to now that I have the monitor. I think I could live with that. It's a good thing it doesn't beep a warning otherwise I would have to chuck it!

    I too have a polar FT4, I love it, the FT7 has a few more features but if you are only needing an accurate calorie counter the FT4 will suffice i love mine and never miss a workout without it!!!!
