I am starting my first insanity workout tonight. I have a polar heart rate chest strap but not a watch monitor. Any suggestions?

It seems that you would need a polar heart rate monitor to go with the polar chest strap. I use the FT7 and LOVE IT. It tracks calories burned, as well.

Do you feel like it tracks calories better than one that basically counts your steps?0

Hi Lauren. Is your question directed at me?

a heart rate monitor is a great investment. it is the most accurate way to see what you are burning and monitor your weight loss. this is espeically true for a program as intense as insanity where there is no other way to know for sure what you have done. you'll need the watch to go with the chest band. I reccomend polar as well mine is ft7 and I love it.0

You need the watch to see your heart rate zone during work out. I have both of them and they works really good.0

^^ This... and I would suggest getting it asap. MFP was overestimating my workouts sometimes by 50%. Use a HRM.0
