Hey there!

I'm thinking of getting a HRM, but need advice. If you use one, which one? Do you like it? Would you recommend the one you have or suggest something different?

Thank you!!

    I have the Polar Ft4 - love it! So easy to use - simple and works great!

    I have a barely used Polar FT60. Turns out some meds I'm on make it not work for me. It's really nice, I live not too far from you message me if you want to buy a used one.

    I bought a Polar FT4 with chest strap. It was around $80 online at Amazon. I love it. It's very very simple to use and not uncomfortable to wear. I have been told by doctors and athletic trainers that the best type of HRM you can buy is one with a chest strap because it is the most accurate for determining actual calories burned in a workout. I would definitely recommend the one that I bought.

    Why do people post this kind of thing the day after I order mine? :-p

    I have the simplest one--the Polar FT1. It does everything I could want of it as long as I remember to put it on!

    I have a pink FT4, I am now addicted and won't exercise without it.

    I have the Polar Ft4 with the chest strap and am enjoying it very much. I actually burn a lot more calories during my workouts than what I had previously logged. Definitely worth it for me. My only regret is not getting it sooner!
