    Hey,,, I'm stil kinda new 2 tha fitness world.... Wondering about Polar HRM and FT4?? Do U mind explaining them 2 me? :huh:

    Yeah, np.
    I have a polar heart rate monitor and the kind I have is a FT4. It's good for getting you a more accurate number of calories that you burned and also for making sure that you're in your target heart rate range. I really recommend it! The treadmill I usually run on is usually off by almost 400 calories from my Polar. This give more tech features on it: http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/polar-ft4f-purple-h1.html
