Best Heart Rate Monitors for Exercise

i use the heart rate monitor when i exercise on an exercycle (the monitor that came with the schwinn exercycle stopped working years ago), and keeping an eye on it motivates me to work harder to get

i like the monitor as well, because i can use it with any piece of exercise equipment that has the heart rate monitor on it and see my pulse on the machine.

it does not have a lot of bells and whistles but it does just what i purchased it for--to monitor my daily cardio exercise routine.

it doesnt interface with gym exercise equipment but i dont use them anyway and it doesnt cost 3 to 4 times what one of those do.

it's been very interesting to learn what my heart rate is with my various exercise dvd's.

am now able to monitor my exercise to stay within my targeted heart range.

i wear it everytime i exercise and even at work.

i purchased this item to keep track of my heart rate while i exercise during my pregnancy.

it motivated me to exercise after my knee injury and helped me lose a lot of weight.

it makes me accountable for my exercise.

the monitor is easy to use and works with the exercise equipment at the gym.

- it is compatible with most exercise machines;

i have vision fitness exercise equipment, and the strap works with their hr function.
