Just got my polar FT4 today and found it really easy to use. Bought it off amazon for about 1/2 the price of sports stores so it didn't surprise me when the manual was in korean. Easy enough to fix... hello google My HRM was my gift to myself for sticking with the program for the first month and losing 8 lbs.
Did 30DS level 1 which I have been logging at 20 min circuit training. MFP gave me 167 cal burn. My HRM gave me 242 cal burn. I was surprised there was that much difference. I figured I was burning 200 cal at most. Anyway.. I have been worried that I was over estimating my calorie burns on MFP so I usually only logged 1/2 my workout. Turns out I prob didn't have to worry. Glad I got a HRM though so now I can be sure. I can tell it will be addicting.

I got my Polar FT40 today. Can't wait to see how much I burn tomorrow during my spinning class. Surprisingly it shows me in "Fat Burning" zone while I am standing0

I just got the Polar FT7 last night. I can't wait to use it in an Insanity workout. I used to just guess on MFP with the circuit training option. I love it so far ^_^0

It is so nice not to have to "guess" anymore! If this keeps working as well as the reviews say it will it is money well spent.0

Have recently started using FT60, it is really quite motivating. Just havent worked out yet how to get my workouts to show as 'fat burning' I always seem to get 'fitness improving' I know this is not a bad thing but would like to be able to choose which to do. Technology pah !!! lol0
