Does anyone know of any good heart rate monitors which also track calories burned that are affordable. I wish I could buy the body bugg but it doesn't fit into my student budget! Any cheap but good ones out there you know of? Thanks!

    Polar has some really good ones that are affordable.

    Of course they have ones that have all the bells & whistles for a higher priced, but for what you're looking for, they have some in the $50-70 range that are excellent.

    Well I found the Timex HRM to be affordable, but it doesn't seem to work for me all the time. I think because it's a chest strap; my girls get in the way or something. If you think that maybe a problem for you, then I would look at the armband types. I find myself sometimes getting so distracted trying to get the HRM to work that it takes away from my workout.

    I agree! I bought my Polar FT7 off of Amazon and I :heart: it! They often have sales and it usually ends up being free shipping.
    Good luck :smile:
