HR monitor

[panel32]

I recently joined a gym that gave me a hear rate monitor to track my workouts. What do you guys think of this technology?

They vary a LOT in accuracy

if you train endurance you can get a sense of how your HR compares over time. I have a GPS watch with a belt that tracks everything when i run.

for a weight trainer you don't need this LOL. weight lifters crack me up worrying about stuff like this, any idiot can weight train and it barely does anything to your HR. go run a 10K or half marathon and it isn't so easy

I like heart rate monitors but remember - that's just ONE measurement. More important measurements are how you feel, how your clothes fit etc.

Usually qualitative measurements are more important then quantitative
