Heart Rate Monitors

[MarlaGaz]

I need some input on tried and true heart monitors. What do you all use and what do you recommend? I know I want it to do display calories burned, but I really have no idea what to buy beyond that.

All suggestions would be great.

Thanks!!!

I love using Heart Rate monitors. I have 3 and they all are a bit different. All of mine are Polar. Their site is www.polarusa.com and they have detailed descriptions of each monitor. I am sure you will get other replys.......Carole

I use a Nike. I don't use the calories burned feature, but I use the heart rage range when I am interval training or if I am trying to push my heart rate up and keep it up for long periods of time. They make some pretty nice ones, too.

It is kind of fun, but after a while I get a little obsessive about it and start staring at the wrist monitor - I've fallen a few times!

I have also had a Polar and had good luck with that.

Hope this helps.
