My Polar FT60 HRM

I have 4 weeks of data accumulated on my HRM and I have to say that I really like it. It gives me constant feedback on how I'm doing during my workouts, afterwards and a summary at the end of the week. There are several training programs available. Naturally, I chose Weight Loss. My first week, I was rewarded with a digital trophy on my watch display. The second week I only earned 2 stars. My last two weeks (since I've started running) I've only been given a virtual pat on the back. The program believes that I am working out too hard. This happens on the days I run, my heart rate climbs into the high category which is not ideal for fat burning.

I'm okay with that since I am gaining other benefits by incorporating running. It mixes up my PA, I get to spend some quality time outdoors, my body is revved afterwards and I've dropped 15 lbs in March. All in all, a pretty great month. 

I also opted to buy the Footpod that hooks into the laces of your shoe. It's light weight and you can't tell it's there at all. It tracks your pace and distance and communicates it all back to the watch. I believe the HRM has really helped me step up my workouts so that I don't over do or under do my exertion. 

For anyone serious about upping their PA and changing their body, an HRM is a must-have. I love mine!
