Heart rate monitor?

[goingtobeskinnysoon]

Hey! Just wondering if anyone uses a heart rate monitor in the gym? I do 4 classes a week and can feel myself plateauing so wanted to push myself a bit. I need something that will work for spinning and studio classes.

Any suggestions? Any feedback on how ppl find them?

Thank you! X

Hiya, I use a polar FT4 and find it great for classes that I do such as combat etc. it was £55 from amazon and they do several colours.

It is easy to set up and shows cals burned and heart rate etc. I do only really use mine to see how many calories I burn though!

Thanks Shelley! Does it have a way of tracking info over time? Like a website or email function or anything where you can see how you've performed previously? X

I think you can input the training info on the polar website that you can register for which is free I think, it does save workouts and you can look back at them on the watch. Its a decent one but i know you can spend hundreds on them that do a lot more! It depends what functions you want.

I would say go to the polar website and have a look then check amazon out and look at the reviews for them. I found them really helpful and I got one that suited my needs.
