HRM for person with one arm
Can someone recommend a heart rate monitor that doesn't require two hands? I can't use one that has to be around your wrist while you touch it with the fingers on your other hand. I only have one arm so any ideas are appreciated. I would prefer one that will tell me how many calories I burn. Thank you! Michelle
