Timex Personal Trainer HRM Experiences

jeangirl928

I am on my 5th week of P90 X. Just last week I decided I wanted to get a heart rate monitor because I was tired of guessing how many calories I burned with the cardio workouts.

After searching on amazon for quite a while I ended up purchasing a Timex Personal Trainer Heart Rate Monitor. It is a cheaper HRM at only 40 dollars but as really high reviews. I am still not convinced that the calorie burned function is accurate.

Does any one else have the same HRM? What are your experiences with it?

I believe that it is accurately reading my heart rate (I wear the chest strap) and I have my weight entered in the monitor as well. I don't want to figure more calories than I am really burning though. I am 5'6 and 130 lbs. Would like to lose 5 more pounds (already lost 3 lbs in 5 weeks).

What are your experiences with this monitor?
