best heart rate monitors

Gratzi · December 2011

Anyone want to offer advice on the best heart rate monitor? I'm looking at the Polar FT4. I want one with a chest strap to get the best continuous readings, but I am rather large chested and have to wear an industrial strength sports bra. I'm worried the sensor in the front won't fit well because the bra band is so snug.

I use an FT4 with the band under the band of my sport bra. IT works for weights and the treadmill, but I don't think it will work if I take up running. Polar also sells sport bras that the sensor snaps into, I'll be looking into those.

I'd love to have a sports bra with a built in heart rate monitor, but from what I can tell, no one makes a 38D.

All that you need to know about HRM's and then some.

The chest strap goes beneath the sports bra.. and the strap is adjustable, so you should be fine.
