I have seen a couple different types from around the wrist to around the chest. Is there a better type? What brand would you NOT reccomend? Which ones would you reccomend? Im anxious and excited to start my journey but want to do it accurately!! Thank you in advance!!

    Polar heart rate monitors are AWESOME! If you want one that tracks your calories, make sure it's the F4 or higher (the F3 measures your heart rate, but doesn't keep track of calories burned). I got my F4 on sale for about $70, but it's been well worth it!
