Thank you! I'll do that as well!

I just ordered it from amazon and while waiting for it I am trying to figure out how to log it into my exercises. I don't have a heart rate monitor. How do you all log it?

I am not a mom, but I do work out at home. I started with the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels and it was awesome! It takes you approx. 30 minutes and you don't need much equipment, just a mat and some weights. (you could use water bottles or something similar instead).

Nobody told me I need a HRM to lose weight or burn fat. I just read on here, that a cheap one would be sufficient to determine the calories burnt during a workout. I just want to know exactly how much I burn and not work with the approximate numbers given in the database here. I am already doing the dvd, yes and I lost…

Too bad I did not ask if anyone recommends that certain hrm before I bought it. I will try to return it and then get another one with chest strap! Thank you all for your input and help!

I read on here somewhere that a cheap one would be useful too, that's why I got one in the first place. I got to put in height and weight and age, it did not ask for the gender, though. So, one without a chest strap is not useful at all?

I started out with water bottles too, 1,5 litre ones. :laugh: Then I got weights, at first 3,3 lb ones and when they got to light I went to 6.6 lb ones and recently I got 11 lb weights. I am not yet able to do all the exercises with the 11 lb ones yet, for some I go back to the 6.6 ones.
