Heart rate monitor



Recommended Posts

Any suggestions on what heart rate monitor to buy. I want a very accurate estimated of calories burned during working out. I just did Shaun t focus 25 n my fit but only calculated 125 calories although I am dripping in sweat lol. Saw on a website that that workout burbs 369 calories. So I wanted to track my actual calories burned :) thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Your fitbit is probably pretty close to accurate if you have entered all your personal details correctly. One mistake people often make is overestimating how many calories they burn through exercise.

Ok thanks a little disappointing but it is what it is :)

Actually I would not buy a fitbit since there is no heart rate monitor attached... (unless a new one came out that i don't know about...)

I'm buying the polar ft7 with a heart rate chest strap.... Then it'll be REALLY accurate

I was talking with a person at work last night about my HRM. It is without a doubt in my mind, the best money I have spent concerning "exercising". I use a Garmin 310xt. I use it for cycling and now running. It keeps track of almost anything you could want...automatically uploads it to GarminConnect. I actually was talking to folks on here back in the spring about this topic. Theres a lot of different ones available, but I'll never be without one again. You can use just a strap with several smartphones too. Many, many apps that show lots of good info. But Im partial to my garmin.

Heres an example of what it shows:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
