I won't be able to hear a watch beep (I typed beer at first - clearly my mind is somewhere else! :wink: ) spinning so I'd like the illumination option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1922623 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 12:49:03 +0000 blackbird 1922623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I had the N4...i think it was made by New Balance! Most watches have a button to illuminate the face, tho </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1922613 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 12:46:55 +0000 LindsayInNY 1922613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Which one do you have? I like the light up option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1922023 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 08:00:35 +0000 blackbird 1922023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: You'll check it a lot at first (my watch had a light up function) but then you get to a point where you know X BPM feels like, pretty quickly. I follow the "talk test" while pregnant, which is a lot easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1922010 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 07:43:54 +0000 JoJoGirl 1922010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Yep the Polar will beep if you go over or under the target HR zone. I turned it off, but there is the option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1922008 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 07:42:50 +0000 JoJoGirl 1922008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have the Polar FT4. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1922003 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 07:39:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 1922003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PointeShoesTutus: Do you know if any HRM has an option of alerting you if our heart rate goes over a certain limit? I want to get back spinning but I don't think DH (or myself) will be comfortable unless I have one. But the room is dark so I'm worried about how I'll see it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1921816 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 21:48:08 +0000 mrsjyw 1921816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a polar ft4! Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1921813 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 21:45:52 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1921813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Polar one that I wear when I exercise. I have a heart condition so I need to be careful with how high it gets otherwise I end up with chest pains, palpitations, skipped beats, and worst fainting. I tried one that didn't have a chest strap but it was so sensitive I could wear it to work out. It also didn't record and save data. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1921761 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:55:46 +0000 Boheme 1921761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Yes, but it's a lot thinner and softer than most! I think @babyboecksmom has the same one as me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1921754 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:50:30 +0000 LindsayInNY 1921754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boheme: The band is one of those chest ones? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1921746 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:41:16 +0000 Boheme 1921746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Polar FT4. I really like it! It's easy to use, and the band isn't uncomfortable like my Garmin band was </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1921737 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:32:14 +0000 bakinbrownies 1921737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an oldschool Polar HRM. They have some awesome, more stylish ones now. I like to wear it when I do anything physical that I want to track on MFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-heart-rate-monitor#post-1919197 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:41:58 +0000 LindsayInNY 1919197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping!
