Shopping for a HRM...please help!!!

Polar is well known and well liked for many reasons. You don't need anything fancy either. The current FT4 should do it. I have an old F11 I picked up of ebay for about $30 and it is still going strong.

I have the Polar Ft40 and love it!! I know alot of people on here like it also, it was one recommended to me when I asked about HRM's. There is also the FT4 which is pretty much the samething put runs for less money. I was able to find mine on ebay for $50.00 but they can be run upto $150. Amazon sometimes has some good deals as well. The FT4's usually are less than $100. Hope this helps:)

If you have a big 5 sporting goods near by, check them out. They often have some on sale. I started with the Bowflex with chest strap for $30 on sale. Whatever you get, make sure you get a strap. Strapless don't do the job as well.

I have a Polar FT4. It was only $70 off of Amazon. Whichever one you get make sure it has a chest strap. They record your heart rate directly. Ones without a strap are not accurate. Mine is easy to use, programs specifically to your information, shows you when you are within your target heart rate zone and how long you stay in the zone for each exercise session, it records your last 10 exercise sessions so you can track progress and it is waterproof so you can use it in the pool. You will find that a HRM is a great investment!
