On an end cap in the sports section, where they sell exercise DVDs, I found a Polar FT1 on clearance for $14.99, down from $59.99! The reviews on Amazon were decent, it's a basic HRM but probably a great starter for most beginning exercisers.

Just an FYI, if you'll be shopping at Target soon.

    Just a heads up - I think the FT1 measures heart rate but doesn't count calories. It's still a great tool though.

    I'm wondering if you're joking? Everybody who doesn't have a HRM will be flocking to whatever Target available and be like, "Where's the Polar FT1 for $14.99?" only to find that they're not on sale? Hope not 'cause I'm out the door RIGHT NOW!

    This is true about the FT1.

    I'm totally serious. They only had 2 when I was there and I'm sure it's hit or miss since it was clearance but worth a look if you're going there anyway.

    it's true. i just checked out target.com and it looks like my local target has them in stock :)) and btw- the one that is on clearance in our area is the FT4, don't know if that makes a difference

    Oh man! The FT4 is better than the 1. I started with an FT4 years ago and liked it a lot. Was it $15?!?!

    For that price, I'd be willing to strap a sleeping 15 mo into her carseat and go! Seriously.
