From: shazlikd on 4 Aug 2007 23:00 I live in Australia. I am well aware of POLAR Heart Rate Monitors, but I am trying to find out if there are any "strapless" brands of Heart Rate Monitors that provide continuous Heart Rate Readings, as opposed to "on demand" readings (where you are required to touch some sensors, or push a button, etc.) Any advice at all? Thanks.

You can do the same. > Any advice at all? The Mark of Fitness design looks ridiculous, IMHO. It might work for you if all you do is run or something else that virtually does not require hands. But even when running, I want to be able to grab things, like a drink. May I ask: why are you avoiding the chest strap? IMHO, it is the most reliable and least obtrusive design.

I still use the heart rate monitor to make sure I am not working out harder than planned. I use the polar with the strap I like it just fine. Bob

Is it really a metronome; or do you mean an MP3 file that plays a cadence? In any case, what exactly is it (product name; model number), and where did you get it? |
