Best Heart Rate Monitors for Fitness

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 will link up to most fitness equipment that already has the heart monitor built in.

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

she is a cross country runner and wanted a heart monitor sports watch with no chest strap.

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

while it's not my style of watch to wear with work clothes, i find it small and not so clunky as other fitness watches to wear while exercising.

for me, the fallback (should i need one) is the chest strap and transmitter that came with my vision fitness treadmill.

once you begin to exercise and therefore sweat, the monitor continues to work.

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

setting the thing up is a pain, but it's great for tracking exercise and calories burned.

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;
