HRM question time

Nikkei24

Polar FT40 or FT4 which is better? I just want a basic heart rate montior that will tell me my heart rate, where my heart rate should be, and my calories burned. Any other suggestions. Polar just seems to be the HRM I hear about most.

I believe polars have been proven to be quite accurate. If you just want something basic, I like my FT4. It shows me my HR zone and where I should be; it shows me calories burned; and it shows me a max HR, average HR, and time spent in the happy zone! It also stores data from my workouts, and is easy to use. Love it!

I have a Polar FT7...it was pretty basic but within my budget. It tells my my heart rate, max and avg., calories burned, and time worked. I got it on Amazon for around $83. I've only had it a couple days but very happy with it!

agree. my FT4 does the trick without any drama.

FT4 does what you need. can get from bodytronics.com for under $60 including shipping if the promo code POPO is still good. otherwise it's just a bit over $60. good price either way.

@ Wisemom What is the diffference between the 7 and the 4 other than color?

I don't have much to contribute as I'm just starting my research on HRMs. I've only had one person suggest the Bodybugg, so I'm interested in this thread....so I'm lurking!! :happy:
