HRM discovery

[nancy324]

I was hating my new Polar HRM because it wouldn't start reading my heart rate until I was more than half way throught my workout. My DH suggested that I make the band tighter. I thought it was pretty tight already, but apparently I was wrong. I made it very tight, and guess what? Yup. The thing works great now. I feel like such a dufus. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is having this problem.

A little water-based lubricant used on the band also helps

I have to soak mine with water before I put it on. And still sometimes it is a little temperamental.

Michelle, I was drenching it with warm water, but it wasn't working until I made the chest band much tighter. I highly recommend it!
