do you use a HR monitor?
I've been wanting one for months.. I finally bough a polar ft4 last week and it's been a HUGE motivator during my workouts at the gym.
Makes me push harder and go longer!
-
YES! I LOVE mine! I have to know what I'm burning!
-
No, but I got my SO one for Christmas this past year, and now I'm jealous and want my own! Does yours count calories burned? I'm so curious to see how effective my kickboxing classes are!
-
@raspberries: yea, and for a fitness newb like me, it's pretty succinct and easy to use! it has a heart rate log, 'zone' heart rate log, time/calories burned log that you can scroll through throughout your workout! got it on amazon warehousedeals for pretty cheap! $60!

@mrsjyw: Oh man, that sounds perfect. I'm feeling an early birthday present to myself coming on...
-
@raspberries: doooooooooooo it!
enabler here. LOL oh and it saves each daily entry you can go back and look at too -
Do you know if your heart-rate monitor is waterproof (not just sweat-proof)? I swim and do water aerobics and it's so hard to calculate how many calories I burn. I feel like all the estimators I use are way off.

@TemperanceBrennan: I've read reviews that say that the polar ft4 is waterproof as long as you don't press the buttons on your watch/reader, but i've also heard it's not really accurate while you're in motion in the pool. Haven't tried it out myself yet.

I don't have one but I would really like to get one! I somehow lost my Nike sensor in the move and am devastated. I hate not knowing my pace when I'm out running...LOL...makes me feel better knowing I worked super hard!
-
DH does and we got one for his BFF but it's more for life safety reasons than to push themselves more.
-
i have that HRM but I never use it! I should try using it again...
