Are heart rate monitors really that good??

I have never thought about getting one... but everyone mentions it. I wonder if I should invest in one. hmmm... :huh:

google "heart rate monitor" and you'll find lots of sources on line with information about the features or if you have agood fitness or sporting goods store near you, you can look there

I have a pedometer that tells me how many calories I burn walking and running. It may not be as accurate as a HRM but it is simple to use

The strength training is all lumped into one category in the cardio section ... just add the minutes there. Although Jillian isn't strength training ... log that under Circuit Training.

A heart rate monitor would be even more accurate but until you get one, log it there.

Amazon, eBay, and Buy.com will have the best deals. Look for one with a chest strap that counts calories ... not all of them do that.
