First an foremost, you need to do what is best for you. If you have ailments that prohibit you from one thing to the next then you need to listen to your body....i.e. if the knees hurt then you shouldn't jog. Then you need to pick something that you enjoy and will actually do. There is no point picking one vs the calories…

Coming from someone that has worked and sell various different heart rate models from different vendors, I would suggest a Polar product.

This is a very common question! The cardio machines, like a treadmill calculate your caloric expenditure by the information you put into it...not very accurate at all.

I agree with gregevila, but I am going to take it a step further.

I have worked and sell various heart rate monitors from different companies for years now. Through my extensive experience, models that do not use a heart rate monitor strap do not come out with 100% accurate data.

You can get a heart rate monitor through various places. Without knowing your needs or how much you are wanting to spend, I would generally recommend buying a Polar. I would also recommend just purchasing it through them too. You could order it from someone online, but coming from a Polar authorized dealer myself I…

From someone that sells Polar, Garmin, and the newest (best) gadget, digifit, I would tell you to get your money back. Heart rate monitors without the strap are not accurate. If you are going to spend the money, get one that works, is accurate, and reliable. If you need further guidance on which brand and model you should…
