I don't know if I can link or not but thinking of getting a heart rate monitor to track how many calories i burn better - anyways i am looking at this Sportline Solo 925W Women's Heart Rate Monitor + Pedometer Watch (Pink) - on Amazon .. What are your opinions on this ? i am trying to find something "affordable" and watch my heart rate etc. http://www.amazon.com/Sportline-Womens-Heart-Monitor-Pedometer/dp/B003XVW95C/ref=pd_sbs_sg_4

    Don't get it, especially for that price. It doesn't come with a chest strap and is therfor useless. Spend an extra 20 bucks and get a GOOD HRM... Polar FT4 is amazing! Check it out! (its what I have and its fabulous)

    In fact its only a couple bucks more!

    Totally agree on the Polar! I've had mine for three months now and don't know what I did without it!. And it's so good for you to see how many calories you burn - I think we all feel like we burn more than we actually do.

    I agree! I also have a Polar with a chest strap! It is awesome. Definately worth paying a bit more...my dad has one too. No problems!

    Just got a Polar FT4 and so far I love it! I paid about $89 for it from Walmart. It really does help keep me motivated and I love seeing how many calories I actually burn. It's really easy to use and definitely worth the money if you are serious about working out.

    I just ordered my FT4 from Amazon yesterday. I think it's from the same link too. I've heard a lot of good reviews about. Now, just waiting patiently for it.
