Heart Rate Monitors

[Rachella]

I was looking at getting some advice from all the lovely people in this fitness section.

I'm taking my exercising more seriously now and really would like an more accurate way to see how many calories burned etc.

There are so many devices available out there it's hard to know which is best - I've heard of fitbit, garmin, polar, pulse etc etc...

Please could anyone give an tips or info on what they currently use?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated

I have Polar Ft7 the best watch/heart rate monitor ive ever gotten, Its a good entry level price and you get solid results and specs for that though. The strap is washable and everything is so simple and effective to use! its worth paying a little bit for quality if you will use it reg and I think you can buy them on amazon for around 50ish right now.

thanks - good to hear Polar are recommended - I did in fact take the plunge about a week ago now and buy the Polar FT4 from Amazon.... was around £52 and it is amazing so far - very happy with my purchase!
