I have been working out all my life but never used one until about a month ago. I highly HIGHLY recommend them for understanding exactly how hard you are working. It is amazing and satisfying to see how many actual calories I am burning after my workout instead of just guessing. And I can adjust my workout right on the spot if I'm not doing enough. Try it out! :heart:

    Absolutely! I find comfort in knowing exactly how many calories I'm burning rather than just guessing!

    Totally agree. My HRM has changed the way I exercise. I love it :heart:

    I agree, knowing if I'm in my target zone gives me something to shoot for during the workout, and prevents me from getting lazy halfway through!

    Got one a few weeks ago and I love it. I look forward to exercising so I can see the calorie count :D

    Wondering what kind all of you are using? I'm thinking about asking for one for Christmas and would like to know from people who actually use them which ones they use and like.

    I'm new to this site since Sunday and have noticed alot of people commenting how much they love using a HRM. Thanks for any replies :)

    I have the Polar FT4 - it's very basic, but that's all I need....more features = more expensive

    I use a Polar FT60. Tracks your zone and gives you targets depending on the goals you set (fat loss vs fitness improvement). I use it for everything I do including walking, jogging, yoga, and strength training. Can't imagine working out without it anymore.
