Hey all-

Are any of you using a heart rate monitor? I've been thinking about it, just to see how much I'm actually burning in a workout...thoughts on this? Anyone use one, and if so, any particular brand that's good?

Thanks!

    Great question! I'm interested in this too. I've looked around the forum and Polar seems to be a recommended brand for casual athletes.

    I also have a Polar Heart Rate Monitor and I LOVE it!!! It tracks my HR as well as my caloris burned during a workout and let me tell you...seeing that number pushes me in the middle of a tough workout. :-) I would HIGHLY recommend getting one. I adjust my weight on there all the time as I lose so I know it's very accurate! I LOVE it!!!

    I have a Sportline from Walmart that I got online for $30. I love it. Its a watch and you do not need to wear a chest strap:smile:

    Thanks, all- I ended up getting a Polar FT7 with my birthday money, and I really like it so far! It was awesome to know how many calories I ACTUALLY burned at my last spinning class :)
