Hey! I was wondering if anyone had a favorite brand of HRM.
I was googling some different, but wasn't quite sure where to start - and they all seem pretty costly, so I don't want to pick the wrong one!

I didn't want to buy one until I got committed to running/jogging - and now that I am, I want to know how many calories I'm actually burning! Haha (:

Thanks for your time, everyone.
xo

p.s. if you'd like, add me! (:

    I thought so and I tried looking! Haha.. but I couldn't find anythingg so I just figured to create my own topic. (:
    So far, I've been receiving quite a few messages in my inbox about the Polar FT7 - sounds like a winner, haha.

    Love my Polar FT7, but if lower cost is important go for the FT4.

    It just depends on how much you want to spend. I went for the cheaper one only bc I can't afford the expensive ones and I thought I wasnt going to get what I wanted out of it but I am so happy with mine. I have the Polar FT4 and even though the FT7 is a little better, for me it really wasnt that big of a difference for the money. Def go Polar

    Is a heart rate monitor better or something like the FitBit?
