Hmmm I've been kinda thinking about getting one since i joined MFP and I might just have to get one when we get our taxes done. My hubby just the other night said that the one thing he missed about going to the gym (it got too expensive) was having the machines tell him how many calories he burned so he might have to get one too Thanks for the tips!0

I have a MIO watch HR monitor. It works with or without the chest strap. When I am at the gym I use the chest strap so I can monitor my HR continuously. It also has a USB connection to download to their web site. Have not done that yet. Just started using it this week. I will let you all know what I think.0

I'm going to be starting P90X and I'm thinking that I really need to break down and buy one. Meh I hate spending money (poor college student, wife, stay at home mom :P)0

Which Polar do you have, there were so many. I bought a cheepie and it worked for about 6 months, wont dothat again.
I have the Polar FT60 in pink! I have had solid results and have had this one for 2+ years. Battery is easy to change. I also have the clunky pedometer. I wear the HRM and ped and mow the lawn! Amazing how many miles it actually it.0 -

Worth every penny. You won't regret it. Make sure it is one that counts calories because some don't. I have the Polar FT60.
PS. I love P90X it is an amazing workout! Good luck!0 -
What a great post! Thanks so much for the information! Very informational0

I've had a Polar for over 3 years now. Had the Polar F6 first and wore it till it died. RIP my wonder F6!
Now I have the FT40 and I love it. Simple and gets it done just right. I rarely trust the calories of a machine or of a website because it's not personally dialed into your heartrate and your details.
I'm all for putting the money towards a good HRM!
