CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GREAT HEART RATE MONITOR WITH CALORIE BURNED COUNTER THAT INPUTS AGE WEIGHT? ARE THERE ANY THAT ARE STRAPLESS? I WAS THINKING POLAR BUT THOSE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE!

I AM LOOKING TO BUY ONE THIS WEEK.

    I use the Polar FT7 it was $74 plus tax online at heartratemonitors.com. Those that are strapless are very expensive. I am not sure of any less than $75 that would be worth the $$.

    If you use a strapless one you have to periodically put your fingers on the contacts to read your heart rate. Thus, it doesn't measure heart rate and calories for the entire duration of your excercise.

    I use a Timex RaceTrainer when I'm in the gym and love it. When I'm outside riding my bike, I use a Garmin Forerunner so I also get mileage. Both are great choices.
