Polar Heart Rate Monitor

  • Hi Everyone!

    I purchased a Polar HRM and absolutely LOVE it! Tonight I burned 913 calories during my 90 minute spin class and 815 doing an hour of Zumba Anyone else have one?
  • Yup, I love my Polar HRM!
  • Do you by any chance have the Flowlink Unit? I'm not sure where to get one and I know you can transfer data to your computer and share it on blogs, forums, etc.
  • I have one on my Christmas list. A YMCA trainer has come into my work for a few lunch and learns on fitness and he said he requires them for his clients. He says they are the best measurement for interval training.
  • What kind is a good one? There seem to be soo many.
  • How much are they, and where did you get it? I'd like to get something like this. What does it do? I'll google it as well.

  • They're cheaper on amazon. The trainer I referred to recommends the FS2C

    The one I purchased is an FT7, the FT4 is the most basic model from what I've read. With mine you can store data and transfer it into a file on your computer to share on message boards, forums, etc or just use it to keep track of your progress.

    I got mine brand new on E-Bay for $80, it's usually $120 in the store
  • Hubby is getting a new Garmin GPS watch for Christmas so that means I get his Polar HRM! I am very excited about it!
  • I asked for one for Christmas
