HRM

Options
Hello!
I'm trying to get into the whole exercising game but don't always go to the gym. I was thinking about getting an HRM so that I can tell how many calories I lose doing videos (30 day shred etc). I was wondering which one is the best bang for your buck and also sizing. I'm pretty heavy (more than 100lbs to lose) and was worried that maybe one wouldn't fit?
Thanks!

    The best bang for your buck I would say is the Polar FT60. It actually will create a program for you and your fitness level so you get the best workout you can. I have used polar for over 10 years and the FT60 is the best one yet. I absolutely LOVE it. The women's wristband is thin but should accomodate you fine. I bought on Amazon it is only 199.95 right now.

    Thanks! I was more worried about the strap than the watch, but I will try and find one in town :o)

    I have the $50 one from Walmart and it work great. I also have 100+ pounds to lose and the strap fits well. If you experience any problems getting the strap to pick up you heart rate try adding a little salt some water and wipe off with that instead of using plain water. It really works.
