Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a book or website that will show me how to best utilize a heart rate monitor. Can you also let me know if you use one, how it has affected your workouts, if you like it, etc.. I thought having one might help keep me from overtraining and getting hurt. Thanks in advance!
:)

I feel it has help me progress with my workouts so much. I think it is one of my favorite fitness items I have. Hope that helps.
 
I've been considering buying a heart rate monitor for some time now. There are so many types and brands though. Those of you who use a heart rate monitor & like it, can you suggest one (that hopefully is relatvely inexpensive, considering i am a poor college student)
Thanks everyone!

Hi Jessica, I think if you do a search on this site for info on monitors you can get some great info. I also used http://www.fogdog.com to read other peoples reviews. I did end up buying mine from htt://www.ediscountbike.com I have the Circuit 7 and have been very happy with it. I know the "polar" brand is extremely good and very popular. I chose not to get that brand so I could get the batteries changed myself instead of sending the cheststap and/or watch out. To me you have to decide your personal budget and functions that you think you need. I could go on and on, as for me having a monitor is so great. Any question post here and I will see if I can help of if I can send you in the right direction. Hope that helps
