  • Polar is better for indoor. I would recommend one that you can upload to the www or some computer software. Garmin is better with the outdoor activities because of the GPS. Both will track heart rate and calories. Send me a message if you have specific questions Rick

Of course, in reality you would burn more calories than this due to inefficiencies in the lifting process. from answers.com I do a cardio warm up before lifting weights and try to keep my heart rate up in…
