Good beginner advice (Reply to this comment)

I'm just starting an exercise program at a health club and it's kind of overwhelming. I appreciate this info on getting an HRM, which I will need to make sure I'm staying in my target zone. :) There are so many different kinds of monitors, and I really can't afford a gizmo with a thousand features I'll never use.

WOW! (Reply to this comment)

This was incredibly comprehensive and in-depth! I'm not really an "exercise fanatic" per se, but I have the noble goal of wanting to get fit. I knew very, very little about HRMs until I read your review. Thanks so much for helping me! 2 thumbs up!

OK, Amy when are we going to see you running the Los Angeles Marathon? Better yet, how about Hawaii's Ironman Triathalon?
Actually, I picked up kayaking, jogging on the beach and running up bleachers as a cardiovascular exercise. My physician suggested Polar as a good HRM.
I am not quite up to my target yet but I am getting there! LOL

You beat me to the punch.
But after reading your review I'm glad that it was someone such as you who beat me to it. I don't think that there's anything that I could add. Well researched and written review.
Will.

Is there a Super-Duper Helpful category? (Reply to this comment)

Amy,
This is fantastic! You addressed so many questions that I never even thought to ask. I don't have a heart rate monitor but I've toyed with getting one. Now I know some of the complex factors to consider.
I especially like your note about most people having experience with only one monitor. Their lack of comparative experience is important to keep in mind when reading their reviews.
Looking forward to your HRM review! :)
