Hello. i have been using the my fitness pal app on my phone for a long time, i just didnt know there was a website to go with it...!

I am looking to buy a HRM that also counts cals burned. I am just wondering where is the cheapest place to buy one? i am from canada if that makes a difference.

thanks friends.

    Try amazon.com or heartratemonitorusa.com. I got mine through amazon and was able to get a good deal plus free shipping!

    Amazon.com... the one I was pricing at $109 in stores is only $77.70 on Amazon.

    I got my Polar FT7 from Amazon.com for about $75 and it was worth every penny!
    Same one was $109 at REI, Sports Authority, Best Buy etc....

    Please get one with a chest strap or you will regret it.... cheaper is not better if you want accuracy.

    I got a great one at Target..Its a NewBalance N4, has a chest strap and is very comfortable. It was $69...and i tell you when i started using it is when i started to loose. I had been on MFP for a month or maybe 6 weeks before i got it. Happy shopping!!

    Amazon.com for sure, although it may depend on which one you want. I priced out the Polar FT60 online and in all the local stores that carry Polar. Everywhere it was at least $199. I got it on Amazon.com for $150 (From a reputable seller, 24 Hour Fitness, not a tiny questionable online retailer).

    I got the FT4 from Amazon for either $50 or $60. Can't remember. It's "bronze" which was cheaper than black or white...

    I totally agree with the above post. I have the exact same HRM. (Polar FT7) It tracks my calories, Heart Rate, keeps track of the length of time I exercise...I love it. Best $75 I spent on exercise related items. I would highly recommend it One very small downside, the sound of the beep to keep your heart in the target zone is very quiet..but I don't use that anyway.
