HRM for Runners

mrsweigl

I have a bodybugg but honestly am sick of having to renew my subscriptions since i don't even use the web stuff. I am looking at getting a nice HRM but want one with GPS that tracks distance, steps, calories etc but also want to be able to use it for my gym classes like Kickboxing and spinning. Basically i want a bodybugg without having to buy the subscriptions



Any recommendations?:flowerforyou: TIA

I have the Garmin 210: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=83280&ra=true

It has a HRM but I don't use it (I hate the feeling of the strap around my chest). Tracks everything with the software provided and you can upload to the web as well.

:blushing: stupid question but would this work in Germany? Also can you get calorie counts for other exercises like spinning or kickboxing?

It's not a stupid question. I'm pretty sure it would work in Germany as it's GPS. I don't know about getting calories counts for other activities, I use it for running and cycling.

If you want GPS and to be able to use it as a normal HRM, then look at the Polar FT60.

I have it(I use it as an HRM and not with GPS) and I like it a lot. The strap is comfortable, and i think the calorie estimation is pretty accurate.
