I've owned MANY heart rate monitors (HRM) and I LOVE them. I would recommend one that records calorie expenditure and average HR. The ones that I would recommend would be the Polar F4 or F11 (although if you go to www.polarusa.com, you can find MANY HRMs that may meet your specific needs). You'll know they have the calorie expenditure feature if they say they have 'own cal' checked.

I have a polar that records cal also. I really love mine. Not sure what model number it is. I can check and tell you later.

I know that there has been lots of discussions on this. You can find them if you do a search for them.;-)

Love my Polar F6... I mentioned this in a previous thread about HRM's, if I forget to put it on I get really upset! It's like the workout doesn't count or something! I am very hooked on those numbers!

Thank your for all the advice. I will check out the polar.
