I'm about to order my HRM, I found the one I want, Polar FT4, I can't decide what size I need to order for the strap though.

My chest under my boobs is 32, my chest above my boobs is 32, my chest over top of my boobs is 37... :/ HELP?

    I have the FT4 and the strap is adjustable. But for measurement sake, you'll wear it under your boobs so go with that measurement.

    AH, ya beat me to it! LOL! well said. I have polar FT7 and love it. Follow the set up and care instructions. I use mine 5-6 days / week about 1 hour each time, and the batteries lasted about 6 months. You definitely want a model you can change the batteries yourself.

    THIS :bigsmile: I love my FT4. I use it every day and its so comfy I sometimes forget to take it off until I get ready for bed and realize I am still wearing the strap! :blushing:

    I have the FT60 and I looooove it. It has made all the difference in my workouts/calorie burn.

    I don't know if this is true, but I do it just to be on the safe side - I read somewhere that you should un-clip the actual monitor from the strap when you're not using it. It's supposed to help with the battery life, apparently.

    I can't find a size chart though to tell me if I need a medium or Small or what. I can wear some small tops but mostly medium tops in the junior department, I've lost all my weight or close to and I'm still top heavy.

    I didn't know they came in sizes - mine has an adjustable strap.

    If you're not sure, go bigger and get the M. You can always adjust it down, you can't adjust it up.
